Retrieve the current system date and time to anchor the agent in present reality. Use for questions involving today, current time, recent events, or information newer than the model's training data to prevent knowledge-cutoff errors and fictionalization of real facts.

# knowledge-cutoff-awareness
This skill allows you to get the current date and time, and perform date calculations.
It uses the system's `date` command via a wrapper script to provide consistent current time output.
For when to use this skill, when not to use it, agent instructions, examples, and reliability notes, see [references/examples.md](references/examples.md).
## Usage
### Get Current Date/Time
To get the current date and time in ISO 8601 format (recommended for machine parsing):
```bash
node scripts/get_date.js
