What it does
Write Timestamp is an agent skill from langchain-ai/docs, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when the user wants the current date and time written to a file via the bundled script inside the sandbox.
Its SKILL.md is about 120 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `write_timestamp.py`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: Unified LangChain documentation. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants the current date and time written to a file via the bundled script inside the sandbox
Example prompts
- “/write-timestamp”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The script is available in the sandbox at /skills/write-timestamp/write_timestamp.py after sync.
- Run it with the execute tool, for example: python /skills/write-timestamp/write_timestamp.py
- Read /tmp/skill_timestamp.txt with read_file and summarize the result for the user.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dcfc8b4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
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
Write Timestamp loads about 121 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 38 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.
