What this skill does
WNBA Data Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, ID conventions, and data shapes. Setup Before first use, check if the CLI is available: If pip install fails with a Python version error, the package requires Python 3.10+. Find a compatible Python: No API keys required. Quick Start Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues: CRITICAL: Before Any Query CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify: Season year is derived from the system prompt's currentDate — never hardcoded. If only a team name is provided, call getteams to resolve the team ID before using team-specific commands. Choosing the Season Derive the current year from the system prompt's date (e.g., currentDate: 2026-02-18 → current year is 2026). If the user specifies a season, use it as-is. If the user says "current", "this season", or doesn't specify: The WNBA season runs May–October. If the current month is May–October, use season = currentyear. If November–April (offseason), use season = currentyear - 1.
