What problem(s) was I solving?

Date strings (e.g. in filenames) were often incorrectly determined by the agent, requiring frequent manual correction.

What user-facing changes did I ship?

  • Updated prompts to recommend agents use unix date shell util to fetch date/time strings in relevant Claude commands
  • Changes are dev-facing only

How I implemented it

Added to existing prompt text where relevant:

... (get with `date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S"`)

How to verify it

Verified that both Cursor and Codex agents run suggested command when expected:

Important

Standardizes date fetching in .claude/commands by updating prompts to use the Unix date command for accurate date strings.

  • Prompts Update:
    • In create_handoff.md, create_plan.md, create_plan_generic.md, create_plan_nt.md, ralph_research.md, research_codebase.md, research_codebase_generic.md, and research_codebase_nt.md, updated prompts to suggest using date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S" or date +"%Y-%m-%d" for fetching current date/time.
  • Behavior:
    • Standardizes date fetching method across various command prompts to reduce manual errors in date string determination.
  • Misc:
    • Changes are developer-facing and do not affect end-user functionality.
