About this skill

“Resolve "today" to a concrete ISO date range relative to your run time — today. Returns inclusive civil dates plus exact UTC instants so you have temporal context without computing dates by hand. Read-only: no writes, no network. Use before any task scoped to today (today's logs, metrics, "what happened today").”

— description from SKILL.md by HarnessMD

Today Date Resolver is a skill in HarnessMD/munder-difflin (8.6k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 285 tokens. Licence: MIT.

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7d38335. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Today Date Resolver loads about 285 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 103 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~285

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Resolve "today" to a concrete ISO date range relative to your run time — today. Returns inclusive civil dates plus exact UTC instants so you have temporal context without computing dates by hand. Read-only: no writes, no network. Use before any task scoped to today (today's logs, metrics, "what happened today").
allowed-tools
Bash

/today

Get the concrete date range for today by running the bundled resolver:

bash
node "$AGENT_DIR/.claude/skills/temporal/when.mjs" today

It prints a human-readable line plus a JSON record:

  • start / end — inclusive civil dates (YYYY-MM-DD) in your local timezone
  • startUtc / endExclusiveUtc — the same window as a half-open [start, end) range of exact UTC instants, for timestamp-based queries
  • days, timezone, asOf — the span, your timezone, and when this resolved

Use the returned dates as the time bounds for the task at hand. Do not derive dates by hand — this resolver is the source of truth. For the full window list or an arbitrary range (e.g. last45days, last6months), see the /temporal skill.
