Install in OpenClaw
/install date-tool
Description
Display and format date and time values from the command line. Use when you need to get the current date, format timestamps, or calculate date differences.
README (SKILL.md)
Date Tool - Date and Time Utilities
Display current date/time in various formats, convert between timezones, and perform date arithmetic calculations.
Quick Start
date-tool +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
Features
- Display current date/time in custom formats
- Convert between timezones
- Calculate date differences
- Parse timestamps from various formats
Examples
# Current date in ISO format
date-tool +"%Y-%m-%d"
# Current time in 24-hour format
date-tool +"%H:%M:%S"
# Unix timestamp
date-tool +"%s"
Usage Guidance
This is a small, local date-formatting script with no network calls or credential requests — low risk. Note that the README/description overstates features (timezones, parsing, arithmetic) that the bundled script does not implement; if you need those features, request clarification or look for a skill/tool that explicitly implements them. As always, only install skills from sources you trust; you can open the scripts/date.py file yourself to verify it matches what you expect before enabling the skill.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: date-tool
Version: 1.0.0
The date-tool skill is a simple utility for displaying the current date and time using Python's datetime library. The script (scripts/date.py) is minimal and safe, and the documentation (SKILL.md) describes standard usage without any malicious instructions or prompt injection attempts.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description claim formatting, timezone conversion, parsing, and date arithmetic. The included script (scripts/date.py) only prints the current local datetime formatted via a user-provided strftime string. That is coherent with basic formatting but the skill overpromises features it does not implement.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md examples and usage match invoking a date formatter (date-tool + format). However the docs mention timezone conversion, parsing, and difference calculations that the runtime instructions/code do not perform — the instructions are otherwise limited to formatting the current time and do not access files, env vars, or external endpoints.
Install Mechanism
No install spec is provided (instruction-only with a small included script). Nothing is downloaded or written to disk by an installer; risk from installation is minimal.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths and the code does not read env vars or credentials. Required access is minimal and proportional.
Persistence & Privilege
No elevated privileges are requested. always is false; the skill does not modify other skills or system settings and does not persist credentials.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install date-tool - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/date-tool - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
