temporal-cortex-datetime
Convert timezones, resolve natural language times ("next Tuesday at 2pm"), compute durations, and adjust timestamps with DST awareness. No credentials needed — all tools run fully offline after one-time binary install.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/billylui/temporal-cortex-datetimeWhat This Skill Does
The temporal-cortex-datetime skill provides a robust suite of tools for temporal orientation and high-precision datetime computation. Unlike cloud-based scheduling tools, this skill operates entirely offline using a compiled Rust binary. It resolves complex natural language expressions—such as "next Tuesday at 2pm" or "third Friday of March"—into precise RFC 3339 timestamps. With five specialized tools, it handles DST-aware adjustments, timezone conversions, and duration calculations locally, ensuring data privacy and consistent performance regardless of internet connectivity.
Installation
Installation is managed via the OpenClaw package manager. To integrate this skill, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/billylui/temporal-cortex-datetime
Under the hood, this downloads the @temporal-cortex/cortex-mcp package. During the initial setup, the system downloads a pre-compiled Rust binary from GitHub, verified via SHA256 checksums to ensure integrity. Once the binary is cached locally, no further network activity is required for the tool to function.
Use Cases
- Scheduling Automation: Quickly interpret human-written meeting requests into machine-readable dates.
- Cross-Timezone Logistics: Convert timestamps across global IANA timezones without relying on external web APIs.
- Time-Delta Analysis: Calculate duration between events, such as "time since last sync" or "days until project deadline."
- Audit & Logging: Normalize disparate log timestamps into a unified RFC 3339 format for consistent data analysis.
Example Prompts
- "What is the current system date and timezone, and when is the next Daylight Savings shift?"
- "Convert 2023-10-27T10:00:00Z from UTC to Asia/Tokyo and tell me the duration from now until then."
- "If I have a meeting on the third Friday of next month, what is the exact timestamp in RFC 3339 format?"
Tips & Limitations
- Tip: Always start your session with
get_temporal_contextto establish the baseline local time and configuration settings. - Tip: You can customize your default week-start (e.g., Sunday vs. Monday) and preferred timezone by editing
~/.config/temporal-cortex/config.json. - Limitation: The skill performs read-only operations on your local config file and does not support automatic cloud synchronization. If you move machines, you must reconfigure your
config.jsonmanually.
