Date and time formatting for applications. An agent skill from Sidiora-Labs/centra-llm-agents.

  • Displaying dates
  • SKILL.md covers Critical Rule, Quick Reference, Common Patterns and Format Options, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Formatting time in UI components

What it does

Date Formatting is an agent skill from Sidiora-Labs/centra-llm-agents. Date and time formatting for applications. Use when displaying dates, timestamps, or formatting time in UI components. Use centralized utilities instead of native JS date methods. Triggers on date, time, timestamp, formatDate, formatTime, toLocaleDateString, toLocaleString, dateUtils, locale, format, display date, show time, datetime, calendar.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/rules/date-formatting.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization. The repository describes itself as: A stateful AI operating system for serious, long-horizon work.

When your agent uses it

  • Displaying dates
  • Formatting time in UI components
  • ToLocaleDateString

Example prompts

  • “/date-formatting”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 01c6aef. 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:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob

    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 typescript).

    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

Date Formatting loads about 813 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 141 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~813
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 141 words (~813 tokens).

“Guidelines for consistent date and time formatting across applications.”
