Validation Copier Skill

Standardize validation and logging across sports pipelines by copying patterns (structured logging, retry decorators, Pydantic models) from a source sport to target sports while preserving sport-specific logic. The Skill identifies best practices in one sport's scripts and intelligently adapts them to others, ensuring consistency without manual effort.

Yes. Compare NFL scripts against NHL, NCAAF, or Soccer to identify improvements, then apply those patterns automatically. The Skill preserves sport-specific fields, enforces Pydantic v1 syntax, creates backups before modification, and validates changes through smoke tests.

The Skill works with structlog for structured logging and tenacity for retry decorators, combined with Pydantic validation models. It applies these patterns consistently across NFL, NHL, NCAAF, and Soccer projects while adapting to sport-specific field requirements.

Sport-aware adaptation is enforced throughout the copying process. The Skill identifies and preserves sport-specific logic while only replicating the standardized patterns (logging, retry logic, validation models), then backs up originals before any modification.

The Skill automatically creates backups prior to any modification and validates all changes through smoke tests. Review the comparison output, confirm sport-specific fields are preserved, and test the target pipelines before production deployment.

Manually propagating quality improvements like structured logging, retry logic, and validation models across multiple sports is repetitive and error-prone. Standardization ensures all pipelines adhere to the same high-quality standards, reduces technical debt, and accelerates development.
