| description | Compute and format dates/times in arbitrary timezones using a small set of bundled bash scripts. Use when the user asks about "what time is it", "current time in <city>", date math, or timezone conversions. |
Time utilities
This skill bundles small bash scripts that shell out to date for timezone-aware answers without the model having to reason about offsets.
When to use
- The user asks for the current time in a specific timezone (e.g. "what time is it in Tokyo?")
- The user wants a date formatted in a specific way
- The user needs a relative time (e.g. "what's the date 3 days from now?")
Scripts
scripts/now.sh [TZ]
Prints the current time in the given IANA timezone (default UTC). Example:
bash scripts/now.sh America/Los_Angeles
scripts/add.sh DAYS [TZ]
Prints a date DAYS days from now in the given timezone. DAYS can be negative. Example:
bash scripts/add.sh 3 Europe/London
Tips
- IANA timezone names only (
America/New_York, not EST).
- See
references/timezones.txt for a short cheat-sheet of common zones.
