Football Tracker AI

Track football teams and summarize their current status in a compact, emoji-friendly format.

This skill is bilingual:

• English is supported for instructions and output.
• Portuguese (pt-BR) remains supported for the existing Telegram style.
• The agent can force a locale with locale=en, lang=en, locale=pt, or lang=pt.

Usage

• One team: vasco
• Multiple teams: vasco, chelsea, bournemouth
• Force English output: locale=en Chelsea
• Force Portuguese output: locale=pt Chelsea

Expected output

For each team, return:

• team name
• last match
• next match
• kickoff time in the user's local timezone when available, plus UTC
• broadcasters / where-to-watch info for the next match when available
• competition
• standings
• recent news

Dependencies

• No extra Python packages are required.
• Uses only the Python standard library.
• Requires a valid API_KEY from football-data.org in storage/user_config.json.

Notes

• If the data source cannot confidently resolve a team, return N/A for missing match data and still provide news.
• Keep the user-facing output in the requested locale and preserve the emoji-based layout.
• Always show kickoff time in the local timezone plus UTC.
• If broadcaster data is unavailable, say so rather than guessing.
• News results are filtered to exclude previews, lineups, kickoff-time posts, and where-to-watch articles.
• Append a localized beta notice and the current version at the end of every result.
• This build focuses on bug fixes and discovery improvements.
• If timezone detection is unavailable, fall back to the machine/system timezone.
