Datetime FAQs

Question 1

Does this skill support UTC and specific timezones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Datetime skill includes specific patterns for UTC standard formatting (ISO 8601), as well as local system time and common timezone codes, ensuring your data remains consistent across different environments.

Question 2

When should I use the Datetime skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill whenever your development task requires a timestamp. Common use cases include generating unique filenames for backups, adding timestamps to log entries, formatting dates for API requests, or creating human-readable reports.

Question 3

What does the Datetime skill do for Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

The Datetime skill provides Claude with a specialized set of commands to generate current date and time information in various formats. It covers everything from standard ISO 8601 and Unix epoch timestamps to human-readable strings and file-safe naming conventions.

Question 4

How does the Datetime skill improve my coding workflow?

Accepted Answer

It eliminates the need to manually lookup shell 'date' command codes or write utility functions to format time. Claude can instantly generate the exact string you need, such as a file-safe timestamp or a millisecond-precision Unix epoch, directly within your terminal session.

Question 5

Can I get formats specifically for file naming?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The skill provides dedicated 'file-safe' formats that avoid spaces and colons (e.g., YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS). This is ideal for automated system operations where you need to append timestamps to files without causing shell or OS errors.
