What This Skill Does

The cricket-live-score skill for OpenClaw is an automated tracking agent designed to provide real-time updates for cricket matches directly to your Telegram interface. By parsing live data from Cricbuzz, this agent eliminates the need for manual refreshing, providing you with text-based scorecards and optional high-quality voice memos. It is specifically engineered to monitor T20 and ODI matches, automatically detecting crucial game statistics such as current run rates, targets, required run rates (RRR), and individual player performance. The skill runs as a background process, ensuring you receive consistent updates at your preferred time intervals without needing to remain active in your terminal or browser. It intelligently ceases operation once a match has concluded, making it an efficient, low-resource utility for cricket enthusiasts.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw repository installer: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/arkulkarni/cricket-live-score Ensure you have your Telegram Bot Token available, which can be configured via environment variables (TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN) or added to your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json configuration file for seamless execution.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for users who follow sports but cannot consistently watch a screen. It is ideal for:

• Commuters or drivers who need audio summaries of live scores while occupied.
• Fantasy cricket players who need to track player performance without constant manual checking.
• Fans who want to keep tabs on multiple matches or specific high-stakes events like the IPL or World Cup Finals without maintaining an active browser tab.

Example Prompts

1. "Send me live score updates for the India vs Australia match."
2. "Follow the IPL match between RCB and CSK and send me updates with voice memos every 3 minutes."
3. "Make the cricket updates every 5 minutes instead."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the utility of this skill, ensure you provide the direct Cricbuzz live score URL for the most accurate parsing. Note that this skill relies on web scraping; if the Cricbuzz layout undergoes significant changes, the data parsing might temporarily fail. The voice memo feature requires a stable internet connection for the agent to generate and transmit audio files to Telegram. Always verify that your TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN is properly configured, as missing credentials will prevent the agent from communicating with your chat.
