temporal-awareness skillA
temporal-awareness is agent-read markdown (skill) from jpcaparas/skills: Use for latest/current/recent/today/yesterday/tomorrow questions, changing models, versions, prices, schedules, executives, laws, weather, scores, or other time-sensitive facts. Ground answers in clock and timezone, verify live when needed, and convert relative dates. Do NOT use for stable history..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
