Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00042 | $0.00825 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00330 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00165 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00082 |
Grade A, and why
datetime scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to Use
Use this skill whenever you need:
- Current date for logging or timestamps
- Date strings for file naming
- ISO 8601 formatted dates for APIs
- Unix timestamps for calculations
- Human-readable date displays
- UTC time for cross-timezone consistency
Format Codes
| Code | Output | Example |
|---|---|---|
%Y |
Year (4-digit) | 2025 |
%m |
Month (01-12) | 01 |
%d |

%H |
Hour 24h (00-23) | 14 |
%M |
Minute (00-59) | 30 |
%S |
Second (00-59) | 45 |
%I |
Hour 12h (01-12) | 02 |
%p |

%s |

%A |
Weekday name | Wednesday |
%B |
Month name | January |
%b |
Month abbrev | Jan |
%Z |
Timezone | PST |
Common Patterns
Log timestamp:
echo "[$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")] Event occurred"
Backup file naming:
cp file.txt "file_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).txt"
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

datetime is a skill published in the GitHub repository DeevsDeevs/agent-system (41 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 825 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
