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.
