system-time
Get accurate system time in various formats and timezones. Use when the user needs to know the current time, date, timestamp, or wants to convert between timezones. Supports ISO 8601, Unix timestamp, human-readable formats, and timezone conversions.
Best use case
system-time is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Get accurate system time in various formats and timezones. Use when the user needs to know the current time, date, timestamp, or wants to convert between timezones. Supports ISO 8601, Unix timestamp, human-readable formats, and timezone conversions.
Teams using system-time should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# System Time Get accurate system time information in multiple formats. ## Quick Usage ### Current Time (Local) ```bash date # Human readable date -Iseconds # ISO 8601 with seconds date +%s # Unix timestamp ``` ### Current Time (UTC) ```bash date -u # UTC human readable date -u -Iseconds # UTC ISO 8601 date -u +%s # UTC Unix timestamp (same as local) ``` ### Specific Timezone ```bash TZ=Asia/Shanghai date # Shanghai time TZ=America/New_York date # New York time TZ=Europe/London date # London time ``` ## Common Formats | Format | Command | Example Output | |--------|---------|----------------| | ISO 8601 | `date -Iseconds` | 2024-03-11T16:30:00+08:00 | | Unix timestamp | `date +%s` | 1710145800 | | RFC 2822 | `date -R` | Mon, 11 Mar 2024 16:30:00 +0800 | | Custom | `date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` | 2024-03-11 16:30:00 | ## Timezone Conversion Convert from one timezone to another: ```bash # Convert specific time from Shanghai to New York TZ=America/New_York date -d "2024-03-11 16:30:00 CST" # List available timezones ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/ ``` ## Python Alternative (for scripting) ```python from datetime import datetime, timezone # Current UTC time utc_now = datetime.now(timezone.utc) print(utc_now.isoformat()) # Current local time local_now = datetime.now() print(local_now.isoformat()) # Unix timestamp print(int(utc_now.timestamp())) ``` ## Notes - Unix timestamp is always UTC (timezone-independent) - ISO 8601 format includes timezone offset - Use `timedatectl` on Linux systems for system clock info
