cfb-dataCollege Football (CFB) data via ESPN public endpoints and the NCAA's official endpoints — scores, standings, rosters, schedules, game summaries, play-by-play, rankings, injuries, futures…
Cfb Data is an agent skill from machina-sports/sports-skills. College Football (CFB) data via ESPN public endpoints and the NCAA's official endpoints — scores, standings, rosters, schedules, game summaries, play-by-play, rankings, injuries, futures, team/player stats, and news for FBS, plus official FCS scoreboards, NCAA game detail with drive context, and the schools index. Zero config, no API keys. Use when: user asks about college football scores, standings, rankings, team rosters, schedules, game results, play-by-play, injuries, betting futures, team/player statistics…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md`, `references/conference-ids.md` and `references/team-ids.md`).
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Statistics. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Open-source agent skills for live sports data and prediction markets. Football, F1, Kalshi, Polymarket. Zero API keys. SKILL.md format. The licence is MIT.
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0420a7c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pippython3From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Cfb Data loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 165 tokens; SKILL.md has 909 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
The full file from machina-sports/sports-skills at commit 0420a7c, republished under its MIT licence (© machina-sports). 909 words, ~2,935 tokens.
.claude/skills/cfb-data/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 4 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, conference IDs, team IDs, and data shapes.
Before first use, check if the CLI is available:
which sports-skills || pip install sports-skillsIf pip install fails with a Python version error, the package requires Python 3.10+. Find a compatible Python:
python3 --version # check version
# If < 3.10, try: python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
# On macOS with Homebrew: /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m pip install sports-skillsNo API keys required.
Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:
sports-skills cfb get_scoreboard
sports-skills cfb get_rankings
sports-skills cfb get_standings --group=8CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify:
currentDate — never hardcoded.group parameter is set to the correct conference ID (see references/api-reference.md).get_teams to resolve the team ID.Derive the current year from the system prompt's date (e.g., currentDate: 2026-02-28 → current year is 2026).
season = current_year - 1. From August onward, use the current year.group parameter to filterrank field (null = unranked) on scoreboard competitors| Command | Description |
|---|---|
get_scoreboard | Live/recent college football scores |
get_standings | Standings by conference (use group parameter) |
get_teams | All 750+ FBS college football teams |
get_team_roster | Full roster for a team |
get_team_schedule | Schedule for a specific team |
get_game_summary | Detailed box score and scoring plays |
get_rankings | AP Top 25, Coaches Poll, CFP rankings |
get_news | College football news |
get_play_by_play | Full play-by-play for a game |
get_win_probability | Win probability timeline for a completed game |
get_schedule | Season schedule by week |
get_injuries | Injury reports across all teams |
get_futures | Futures/odds markets (National Championship, Heisman, etc.) |
get_team_stats | Team statistical profile |
get_player_stats | Player statistical profile |
get_ncaa_scoreboard | Official NCAA scoreboard — FBS and FCS |
get_ncaa_schedule | Which weeks have games (official index) |
get_ncaa_game | Official NCAA game information |
get_ncaa_boxscore | Official NCAA box score |
get_ncaa_play_by_play | Official play-by-play with drive context |
get_ncaa_scoring_summary | Official scoring summary |
get_ncaa_schools | NCAA schools index (all divisions) |
See references/api-reference.md for full parameter lists and return shapes.
The get_ncaa_* commands read the NCAA's own endpoints (sdataprod.ncaa.com +
ncaa.com) — coverage ESPN does not carry:
division="fcs" — ESPN's college coverage is
FBS-centric.get_ncaa_game, get_ncaa_boxscore,
get_ncaa_play_by_play (with drive context), get_ncaa_scoring_summary.get_ncaa_schools.NCAA game ids (e.g. 6306261, from get_ncaa_scoreboard) and ESPN event ids
share nothing — join on game date plus team names. NCAA reissues game ids, so
take them from a fresh get_ncaa_scoreboard call rather than storing them.
Football divisions are fbs/fcs (not d1-d3). get_ncaa_schedule numbers
the weeks get_ncaa_scoreboard takes (16+ are the postseason, FCS playoffs
included). Scoring-summary field goals carry distance_yards, taken from the
play-by-play. All get_ncaa_* commands except get_ncaa_schools ride NCAA's
GraphQL persisted queries, whose hashes rotate when ncaa.com redeploys; when
that happens they say so explicitly, and the ESPN-backed get_scoreboard /
get_schedule cover the same FBS games.

When a command fails, do not surface raw errors to the user. Instead:
Error: sports-skills command not found
Cause: Package not installed
Solution: Run pip install sports-skills
Error: No games found
Cause: CFB is seasonal (August–January); off-season scoreboard will be empty
Solution: Use get_rankings or get_news year-round; use get_schedule to find when the season starts
Error: Too many teams returned
Cause: get_teams returns 750+ FBS teams
Solution: Help users narrow down by suggesting specific team IDs from references/api-reference.md, or use ESPN URLs to look up IDs
Error: Rankings empty in off-season
Cause: Rankings are only published during the season and early off-season
Solution: Use get_news in the offseason; rankings resume in August

College Football (CFB) data via ESPN public endpoints and the NCAA's official endpoints — scores, standings, rosters, schedules, game summaries, play-by-play, rankings, injuries, futures…. Cfb Data is an agent skill from machina-sports/sports-skills. College Football (CFB) data via ESPN public endpoints and the NCAA's official endpoints — scores, standings, rosters, schedules, game summaries, play-by-play, rankings, injuries, futures, team/player stats, and news for FBS, plus official FCS scoreboards, NCAA game detail with drive context, and the schools index.
Cfb Data fits situations like: : user asks about college football scores; betting futures; team/player statistics; : user asks about NFL (use nfl-data).
Run `npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills --skill cfb-data -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/cfb-data in machina-sports/sports-skills) into .claude/skills/cfb-data in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills --skill cfb-data -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/cfb-data in machina-sports/sports-skills) into .agents/skills/cfb-data in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills --skill cfb-data -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/cfb-data, .gemini/skills/cfb-data, .github/skills/cfb-data and .opencode/skills/cfb-data in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Cfb Data needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (pip and python3). Our summary lists: Python 3; A Bash shell.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Cfb Data is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 12k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Cfb Data: Statsmodels (zLanqing/codex-claude-academic-skills, 4.7k stars), Rota Bench Regression Analysis (oracle/graalpython, 1.7k stars), Matlab (zLanqing/codex-claude-academic-skills, 4.7k stars) and Meridian MMM Model Building (google/meridian, 1.6k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
