What it does

System Time is an agent skill from LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills. 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.

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `.clawhub/origin.json` and `_meta.json`).

The repository describes itself as: 🧠 Curated collection of 1209+ best OpenClaw skills — weekly updated by MyClaw.ai. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs to know the current time
  • Wants to convert between timezones

Example prompts

  • “/system-time”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e5199b5. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and 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

System Time loads about 517 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 86 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~517

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.

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

FormatCommandExample Output
ISO 8601date -Iseconds2024-03-11T16:30:00+08:00
Unix timestampdate +%s1710145800
RFC 2822date -RMon, 11 Mar 2024 16:30:00 +0800
Customdate "+%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
