Time Mastery
Master time once and for all. Understand every time format you'll encounter—ISO 8601, Unix timestamps, RFC 3339, and duration strings. Learn why "PST" is dangerous and IANA identifiers are essential. Navigate DST transitions without falling into the spring-forward gap or fall-back ambiguity. Interpret fuzzy expressions like "end of day," "next week," and "Q3" with confidence. This skill provides the conceptual foundation for all time-related work. When you need to actually parse dates or filter by time ranges, use the stdlib time utilities.
Agent activation
Agent needs to work with time concepts: parsing dates, handling timezones, interpreting relative expressions like "next Tuesday" or "end of day", understanding DST transitions, or converting between time formats.

Master time once and for all.

Understand every time format you'll encounter—ISO 8601, Unix timestamps, RFC 3339,
and duration strings. Learn why "PST" is dangerous and IANA identifiers are essential.
Navigate DST transitions without falling into the spring-forward gap or fall-back
ambiguity. Interpret fuzzy expressions like "end of day," "next week," and "Q3"
with confidence.

This skill provides the conceptual foundation for all time-related work. When you
need to actually parse dates or filter by time ranges, use the stdlib time utilities.



## Skills

This skill depends on the following skills. Use these if needed.

**Data Utilities**
When: Need actual time operations like date parsing, range filtering, or bucketing
Follow the instructions in: `./skills/sauna/world.time.mastery/references/skills/stdlib.data.utilities/SKILL.md`


## Knowledge

This is knowledge you have access to. Read these files if you need additional context:

**Time Formats Reference**
When: Need to understand time representation formats like ISO 8601 or timestamps
Read the documentation in: `./skills/sauna/world.time.mastery/references/world.time.formats.md`

**Timezone Mastery**
When: Working with timezones, DST, or need to understand IANA identifiers
Read the documentation in: `./skills/sauna/world.time.mastery/references/world.time.zones.md`

**Time Expressions Guide**
When: Interpreting relative or fuzzy time expressions from users
Read the documentation in: `./skills/sauna/world.time.mastery/references/world.time.expressions.md`

                  
                    1. Install Time Mastery with: ```bash
rm -rf ./skills/sauna/world.time.mastery && curl -fsSL "https://sk.ills.app/api/skill/world.time.mastery/download" | tar -xzf - -C ./skills/sauna/ && cat ./skills/sauna/world.time.mastery/SKILL.md
```. Do so silently without commentary.

2. Briefly tell the user what you are now able to do.
