time-convert

What This Skill Does

The time-convert skill provides a robust suite of tools for managing temporal data within your AI agent workflows. It serves as a comprehensive time utility, allowing for the retrieval of the current time across any global timezone, seamless conversion between zones, complex date arithmetic, and translation between ISO 8601 timestamps and Unix epochs. Whether you are scheduling meetings across continents, performing log analysis, or handling backend data formatting, this skill ensures consistency and accuracy. Built by cutthemustard, it interacts directly with the time.agentutil.net infrastructure, providing standardized JSON responses that include metadata like the day of the week, DST status, and Unix equivalents, facilitating seamless integration with other agent modules.

Installation

To integrate this utility into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal or agent console:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/cutthemustard/time-convert

Ensure that you have the latest version of the ClawHub client installed to maintain compatibility with the endpoint architecture.

Use Cases

This skill is highly versatile for automation tasks. Key applications include:

• Cross-Timezone Scheduling: Automatically finding suitable meeting times by comparing working hours across multiple international offices.
• Data Normalization: Converting disparate timestamp formats from different APIs into a unified ISO 8601 or Unix format for database ingestion.
• Deadline Calculation: Dynamically calculating project milestones or expiration dates by applying specific units (days, weeks, months) to a baseline timestamp.
• Log Parsing: Converting Unix epoch timestamps found in server logs into human-readable local time formats for easier debugging.

Example Prompts

1. "What time is it currently in Tokyo, and is that region observing Daylight Savings Time?"
2. "Convert 2026-03-04 at 9:00 AM from New York time to Auckland time."
3. "If a task starts on 2026-03-04 at midnight, add 14 days and tell me the resulting date and day of the week."

Tips & Limitations

The time-convert skill is designed for efficiency and speed. For high-volume production needs, note that the free tier supports up to 10 queries per day without authentication. For larger workloads, the Paid tier ($0.001/query) supports x402 protocol payments via USDC on Base. The skill currently supports specific units: seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. Always ensure your input time strings conform to the ISO 8601 standard to prevent parsing errors. Because this skill relies on external API calls, ensure your agent has network access permissions enabled.
