Here are the descriptions you can provide for your dev documentation — keep it simple, human, and scoped to their role:
Mettle API
This API gives secure, limited access to our proprietary sport psychology taxonomy. It’s used to power tools like:
Athlete-Coach session analysis Skill-based training recommendations You’re not browsing the entire model — you’re plugging into known skills to generate intelligent outputs.
Use Case Description Example
You’re building:
An AI tool that reads athlete-coach transcripts and suggests:
and targeted action steps
Your task:
Detect skills discussed in the session Match them to Mettle’s existing taxonomy Use the /skill-lookup endpoint to retrieve detail
You’re not required to generate new skills. Just match, retrieve, and output smart recommendations based on what you know.
Security Philosophy
You’ve been granted access to:
View curated recommendation lists Build smart workflows, not browse our ontology
If you need a new skill ID or want help mapping something new, ping the Mettle team.
