Repair Date And Time Bugs
Example session with this skill installed
The booking system shows appointments one hour early since the clocks changed last weekend. The database uses Postgres and the backend is Node.js. Check the schedule logic.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the repair date
Temporal Bug Found: Zoned Date-Time shift during DST transition.
Root Cause: Used fixed UTC offsets instead of IANA named zones.
Repair Applied: Switched to 'America/New_York' named zone for recurring appointments.
Validation: Verified 09:00 wall-clock time persists across March transition.

About this skill
The problem
Temporal bugs are notoriously difficult to track, often surfacing only during daylight-saving transitions, at the end of a month, or when users access the app from a different time zone. Hardcoding offsets or treating date-only values as UTC timestamps leads to shifting deadlines, incorrect booking times, and corrupted reports.
What it does
- Analyzes the flow of temporal data from input through storage to output to identify incorrect assumptions.
- Classifies values into instants, zoned date-times, local date-times, date-only values, or durations to apply the correct logic.
- Repairs UTC and local-time confusion without using brittle hardcoded hour offsets.
- Standardizes API serialization and database storage formats to prevent environment-specific drift.
- Implements boundary-focused tests for leap days, DST transitions, and midnight rollovers.
Frameworks & tools
Works across all stacks including Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Java. Supports SQL and NoSQL databases, ORMs, and date-libraries like Luxon, Day.js, or date-fns.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often suggest "just use UTC" without considering the business intent for local schedules or date-only values like birthdays. This skill enforces a strict temporal contract, ensuring that fixes for one time zone do not break the app for users in another.
Use cases
- Fixing appointments that shift by an hour after a daylight-saving change.
- Preventing "expired" flags from triggering too early for users in Western time zones.
- Standardizing mixed timestamp formats in legacy databases.
- Ensuring daily reports aggregate data based on the business time zone rather than server local time.
Known limitations
Cannot reliably fix historical data where the original time zone or intent was never recorded. Requires manual verification for irreversible production data migrations.
