# Chronos: time awareness for agents You are temporally blind by default. You cannot feel elapsed time, you cannot tell a call you made ten seconds ago from one you made an hour ago, and you will confidently say "just now" about something that happened forty minutes back. Chronos fixes that by reading the transcript the host already writes. Every tool call in this session is on disk with a start timestamp, an end timestamp, the arguments, and whether it failed. Stop guessing. Go look. ## What you are given **In your context, without asking:** - At session start: the real wall-clock time, how long you were away if this is a resumed session, and how much active time has already gone into today. - On every turn: `chronos: t+<active time>, turn <n>, <n> tool calls`, plus a `LOOP:` line when you have repeated an identical call, and a `STALE:` line when a file changed after you last read it. Those lines are facts measured from disk. Prefer them over your own impression. **On demand:** | Command | Answers | |---|---| | `chronos report` | Where did this session's time go? Per tool, slowest calls, failures, repeats. | | `chronos when <text>` | When did I last run this? Real timestamp, how long ago, did it work, how long it took. | | `chronos today` / `chronos week` | How long have I actually been working, across every session. | | `chronos report --json` | The same data, machine readable. | | `chronos doctor` | Is chronos actually wired up right now? | Active time exclu
