From get-current-time
Gets the current time using whatever tools are available. Use this skill whenever you need to know the current time or date — at the start of sessions, when timestamping entries, or when the user asks what time it is. Always use this skill rather than guessing or relying on system context alone.

Use this skill to reliably get the current local time whenever you need it.
Use this skill to reliably get the current local time whenever you need it.
Try each method in order, stopping as soon as one succeeds.
If a tool called user_time_v0 is available in your tool list, call it. It returns the user's local time directly. Use that result and stop here.
If bash_tool is available, run:
date
Parse the output for the current local time and date.
If Desktop Commander tools are available, use Desktop Commander:execute_command (or equivalent) to run date.
If running on Windows (Windows-MCP tools are available), use:
Get-Date
If none of the above are available, use the date from your system context (e.g. today's date from the system prompt or conversation) and note that the exact time is unavailable.
After getting the time, don't announce the tool you used or narrate the process. Just use the time naturally in your response — weave it in as context, log it quietly, or state it directly if the user asked.
