Date/Time Wrangling is a reusable tool-like Skill that ensures accurate, date-aware responses by running the system date command before answering any time-sensitive question. It provides a RULE to verify current time, cross-platform quick-reference commands for common tasks (current date/time, day-of-week, add/subtract days/hours, ISO 8601, Unix timestamps, converting from timestamps) for GNU (Linux) and BSD (macOS) variants, and a platform-detection snippet. Use it when users ask for current date/time, what day a specific date falls on, deadline and duration calculations, timezone conversions, scheduling across regions, or Unix timestamp handling. Core advantages: authoritative system-derived timestamps, consistent cross-platform commands, locale-awareness guidance, and reduced errors in meeting invites, reminders, and other time-sensitive outputs.
