CRITICAL EXECUTION REQUIREMENT

This skill requires COMMAND EXECUTION, not assumption-based answers.

When this skill loads, you MUST:

  1. EXECUTE the bash command shown in Quick Start section below
  2. REPORT the actual command output (not an assumed date)
  3. NEVER state a date from memory or assumptions
  4. NEVER skip execution thinking "I know the date"

Why this matters: This skill exists precisely because date assumptions are unreliable. Model training cutoffs, context issues, and stale information mean assumptions about "today" are frequently wrong. The ONLY reliable source is executing the date command and reporting actual output.
