1	# College Basketball Data (CBB)
2
3	Before writing queries, consult `references/api-reference.md` for endpoints, conference IDs, team IDs, and data shapes.
4
5	## Setup
6
7	Before first use, check if the CLI is available:
8	```bash
9	which sports-skills \|\| pip install sports-skills
10	```
11	If `pip install` fails with a Python version error, the package requires Python 3.10+. Find a compatible Python:
12	```bash
13	python3 --version # check version
14	# If < 3.10, try: python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
15	# On macOS with Homebrew: /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
16	```
17	No API keys required.
18
19	## Quick Start
20
21	Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:
22	```bash
23	sports-skills cbb get_scoreboard
24	sports-skills cbb get_rankings
25	sports-skills cbb get_standings --group=23
26	```
27
28	## CRITICAL: Before Any Query
29
30	CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify:
31	- Season year is derived from the system prompt's `currentDate` — never hardcoded.
32	- For standings, the `group` parameter is set to the correct conference ID (see `references/api-reference.md`).
33	- If only a team name is provided, use `get_teams` to resolve the team ID.
34
35	## Choosing the Season
36
37	Derive the current year from the system prompt's date (e.g., `currentDate: 2026-02-28` → current year is 2026).
38
39	- If the user specifies a season, use it as-is.
40	- If the user says "current", "this season", or doesn't specify: The CBB season runs November–April. If the current month is November or December, use `season = current_year + 1`. If January–April, use `season = current_year`. If May–October (offseason), use `season = current_year` (most recently completed season).
41
42	## Important: College vs. Pro Differences
43
44	- Standings are per-conference — use the `group` parameter to filter
45	- Rankings replace leaders — college uses AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll
46	- Ranked teams have a `rank` field (null = unranked) on scoreboard competitors
47	- 360+ D1 teams — many games per day during the season (50+ during conference play)
48	- March Madness — NCAA Tournament runs in March/April with 68 teams
49
