# Last Year

Last Year resolves the previous full calendar year to a concrete ISO date range with inclusive civil dates and exact UTC instants. Use it before tasks over last year, such as annual reports or year-over-year comparisons.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/chaitanyagiri/munder-difflin/tree/main/resources/skills/lastYear ~/.claude/skills/lastYear
```

## README

## /lastYear

Get the concrete date range for **the previous full calendar year** by running the bundled resolver:

```bash
node "$AGENT_DIR/.claude/skills/temporal/when.mjs" lastYear
```

It prints a human-readable line plus a JSON record:

- `start` / `end` — inclusive civil dates (`YYYY-MM-DD`) in your local timezone
- `startUtc` / `endExclusiveUtc` — the same window as a half-open `[start, end)`
  range of exact UTC instants, for timestamp-based queries
- `days`, `timezone`, `asOf` — the span, your timezone, and when this resolved

Use the returned dates as the time bounds for the task at hand. **Do not derive
dates by hand** — this resolver is the source of truth. For the full window list
or an arbitrary range (e.g. `last45days`, `last6months`), see the `/temporal` skill.
