What it does

Resolve Relative Time is an agent skill from sno-ai/sno-station. Understand temporal meaning in context without performing calendar arithmetic.

Its SKILL.md is about 260 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Sno Station — your Claude Code and Codex working as one squad on your own machine. Shared encrypted memory, agent-to-agent messaging (Reach), squad skills for handoff and… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/resolve-relative-time”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad95c1c. 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.

    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

Resolve Relative Time loads about 262 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 140 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~262

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.

description
Understand temporal meaning in context without performing calendar arithmetic.

Understand Relative Time

Read the complete context to determine which event a time expression describes and whether it is past, future, ongoing, quoted, or uncertain. Preserve the source words and its precision. Never calculate a replacement date. The shared date resolver asks for a structured calendar instruction and code performs that instruction. Keywords alone cannot settle temporal meaning.

With Session Anchor

Use the session as a reference only when the speaker refers to it. Distinguish a duration from an event date and a current report from an event happening now. The same words can describe different times in different contexts. Preserve the fact when its date remains unknown.

Without Session Anchor

Keep relative expressions unresolved when their reference is absent. Preserve explicit date components that the source states. Do not supply the current year or day from your own clock.
