What This Skill Does
TrueTime handles accurate time calculations across timezones, DST boundaries, and calendar units. It reads the current clock before computing, resolves to UTC first, and converts for display. Supports relative durations, absolute timestamps, cross-timezone coordination, Chinese lunar dates, and NTP as an alternative time source.
It computes through UTC first and verifies the delta before execution, preventing wrong-offset errors that come from naive datetime arithmetic or copy-pasted example values.
When to use it
- Scheduling a cron job in 3 hours from Tokyo time
- Converting a London meeting time to US East coast
- Setting a reminder 1.5 months from now
- Planning a deadline that crosses a DST transition
- Checking a Chinese lunar date alongside a Gregorian timestamp
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Remind me in 45 minutes, I'm in New York
- 1Extracts timing intent: 45 minutes, America/New_York
- 2Runs true_time.mjs --plus 45m --user-tz America/New_York to get current and target times
- 3Verifies target_utc minus now_utc equals 2700 seconds
- 4Returns now_utc, target_utc, target_user_tz, delta_seconds, and time_source
Reminder confirmed for 45 minutes from now, shown in both UTC and America/New_York with delta verification
