Use when a Timestamps system reminder or Codex hook context says how long a turn has run, that a tool call was slow, or that a conversation or project is resumed after a gap; when the user asks how long something took, when they started, or where their time went; and before writing a date into notes, memory, a commit or a document.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Time awareness

Timestamps tells you about time in short system reminders or hook context.
They state facts and nothing else. This is what to do with them.

## The reminders

**`Message sent at local time 10:37:21 CEST, after a 3h break`** arrives with
every prompt. It is when the user pressed enter, not the time now.

**`Turn running 30m04s (prompt sent 10:37:21); now 11:07:25 CEST.`** means the
turn you are in has run that long without hearing from the user.

- Check that the work still matches what was asked. Drift costs less to catch
  now than at the end.
- From the second one onward, consider finishing the step you are on and
  reporting back instead of opening new scope. That is a judgement call: a
  long job the user asked you to run unattended should keep going.

**`That Bash call took 2m14s.`** means one call was slow. Before running the
same thing again:

- run it with `run_in_background` and keep working meanwhile,
- narrow it: one test file, one package, a filter, or
- reuse the output you already have, when nothing it depends on has changed.

**`Previous session in this project ended 14h ago (Thu 20:12:05).`** and

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add araneadev/claude-timestamp/time-awareness@sha256:af63085d76f5ed77

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.3433dbd, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
