/install system-time
Description
Provides current system time, detailed time info, time differences, supports multiple formats and global timezones.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and limited to local time functionality. Before installing, consider: 1) it is Node.js code — run npm install in a controlled environment (or inspect package-lock.json) so @modelcontextprotocol/sdk is fetched from npm; 2) you can run it in a sandbox/container to verify behavior (it only reads system time and formats it); 3) small metadata inconsistencies (version and author fields) are harmless but worth noting; 4) timezone formatting relies on the host's locale/ICU support so results may vary across systems. If you need stricter assurance, review the dependency @modelcontextprotocol/sdk source or run the skill in an isolated environment.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: system-time
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills bundle 'system-time' is a benign utility skill. It provides functionality to retrieve current system time, detailed time information, and calculate time differences. All operations are performed using standard JavaScript Date object methods, and input parameters like `format` and `timezone` are handled safely via `toLocaleString` without any command injection risks. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts in the code or documentation (SKILL.md, README.md).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/README/SKILL.md describe a time utility and the included code implements exactly three tools (get_current_time, get_time_info, calculate_time_diff). Required binaries, env vars, and config paths are none, which is proportional. Minor metadata inconsistencies exist (registry description missing; package.json version 0.1.0 vs registry version 1.0.0; package.json author set to "Your Name" while SKILL.md lists Qzy05231) but these are bookkeeping issues, not functional mismatches.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and the code limit behavior to reading the system clock, formatting times, optional timezone conversion via toLocaleString, and computing diffs. There are no instructions to read arbitrary files, access other system state, or transmit data to external endpoints. Timezone conversion uses the runtime's locale/ICU behavior (this may vary across hosts), but that is expected for a time tool.
Install Mechanism
There is no automated install spec in the registry (instruction-only). The package includes Node.js code and a package.json with a dependency on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk — running it will typically require running npm install/build. This pulls packages from the npm registry (standard practice). No arbitrary external download URLs or archive extraction are present in the manifest.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Its runtime behavior does not access secrets or unrelated environment variables. Proportionality is appropriate for a local time utility.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request elevated or persistent system-wide privileges. It runs as an MCP server over stdio (expected). Autonomous invocation is permitted by default on the platform but the skill does not combine that with broad credential access or other elevated capabilities.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install system-time - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/system-time - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
