Timezone Enforcement Skill

Enforces correct local-time awareness for this agent. Prevents the classic UTC-as-local mistake.

What This Skill Does

When installed, this skill:

  1. Reads the user timezone from USER.md (Timezone: field)
  2. Ensures timezone is applied when the agent calls now.py for time output
  3. Provides /timezone command for users to check/set timezone
  4. Validates that the agent never reports UTC time as local time
  5. Patches AGENTS.md with standing timezone instructions

Prerequisites — Required Before Install

USER.md must contain a timezone field in this exact format: Timezone: America/New_York
