1	# NBA Data
2
3	Before writing queries, consult `references/api-reference.md` for endpoints, ID conventions, 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 nba get_scoreboard
24	sports-skills nba get_standings --season=2025
25	sports-skills nba get_teams
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	- If only a team name is provided, call `get_teams` to resolve the team ID before using team-specific commands.
33
34	## Choosing the Season
35
36	Derive the current year from the system prompt's date (e.g., `currentDate: 2026-02-18` → current year is 2026).
37
38	- If the user specifies a season, use it as-is.
39	- If the user says "current", "this season", or doesn't specify: The NBA season runs October–June. If the current month is October–December, the active season year matches the current year. If January–June, the active season started the previous calendar year (use that year as the season).
