25 tools

• cron_explain

  Translate a cron expression into plain English, list upcoming run times in a timezone, and report the gotchas that make schedules misfire: day-of-month/day-of-week OR semantics, steps that do not divide evenly, impossible dates, and daylight-saving shifts. Prefer this over…

• cron_build

  Convert an English schedule description into a cron expression. Rule-based, not a language model: it refuses phrases outside its grammar rather than guessing, and reports which words it did not use so you can tell whether it read you correctly. WHY DELEGATE THIS: Cron has…

• cron_next_runs

  Lists the next run times for a cron expression in a specific timezone, with no prose. Use it when the only question is "when does this next fire" — whether a job runs before a deadline, or what a user's upcoming schedule looks like. Do not compute these dates unaided: weekday…

• json_to_types

  Convert a JSON sample into TypeScript interfaces and a matching Zod schema. Merges EVERY array element into a union rather than typing from the first, keeps optional and nullable distinct, and emits unknown with a warning for empty containers instead of inventing a shape. Read…

• regex_explain

  Explain a regular expression in plain English and detect catastrophic backtracking. ALWAYS call this before putting a pattern where it will run against untrusted input: (a+)+$ looks harmless and takes minutes of CPU on a failing 30-character input. Also flags missing anchors…

• timezone_convert

  Convert a wall-clock time between IANA zones. Returns null when the local time DOES NOT EXIST because a daylight-saving jump skipped it, and both candidates when it happens twice. Rejects ambiguous abbreviations — most runtimes accept "BST" and silently resolve it to Bangladesh…

• color_analyse

  Convert a colour between hex, RGB, HSL, OKLCH, CMYK, and CSS names, and derive complementary, analogous, triadic, split-complementary and monochromatic harmonies. Harmonies are rotated in OKLCH, not HSL, so they keep their perceived lightness instead of one looking washed out…

• vocab_draw

  Draw words-in-context practice questions from a curated bank. The response deliberately contains NO answers and NO explanations, so you can quiz someone without leaking them — call vocab_check for the answer and the reason each distractor fails. Pass a seed to make a set…

• vocab_check

  Mark an attempt and get the teaching content: whether it was right, which option was correct, why it fits, and why EVERY distractor fails. Read the distractor reasons out even when the learner was right — knowing why the tempting option was tempting is the part that transfers…

• body_metrics

  Compute BMI, energy expenditure, and protein targets from height and weight. Height and weight MUST carry units — a bare number is REFUSED rather than guessed, because a unit mix-up produces a plausible-looking answer that is badly wrong. Returns every standard BMR formula plus…

• due_date

  Estimate a due date from a last menstrual period, a known conception date, an IVF transfer, or an ultrasound measurement. Gestational age is counted from the LAST PERIOD, not conception: at "6 weeks pregnant" conception was about 4 weeks ago. Applies the cycle-length adjustment…

• round_cash_total

  Settle a transaction: exact subtotal, tax computed on that exact subtotal, then round the final total to the nearest nickel — and ONLY for cash. Card, EFT and gift-card payments stay priced to the cent, so the same basket legitimately comes to two amounts. Rounding applies to…

• rounding_impact

  Compute the mean rounding delta per cash transaction across a price list. Answers "does rounding make retailers money" with arithmetic rather than a guess: symmetric rounding nets to essentially zero by construction. Pass always-up to quantify the "just round everything up"…

• price_band

  For a list price and a tax rate, finds every nearby list price that settles to the SAME cash total, and the highest one. Use it for "what should I charge" and "can I price to gain from rounding" questions. There is exactly one free move here and it is easy to get backwards…

• offside

  Returns a verdict plus every step taken. THREE verdicts, not two: offside, onside, and no-offside-offence — the last is real and common, because in soccer an offside POSITION is not an offence without involvement in active play. Soccer: hands and arms never count (boundary at…

• offside_rule_contrast

  Returns the structural differences between soccer offside and hockey offside, one dimension at a time. Use it when someone asks how the two compare, and — more usefully — before reasoning about one sport using an intuition from the other, which is the commonest way to get either…

• check_digit_run

  Checks the check digit on an IBAN (ISO 7064 MOD 97-10), ISBN-10, ISBN-13, EAN-13, UPC-A, or a Luhn-checked card number. When the checksum fails it searches for the single substitution or adjacent transposition that would repair it, so the answer is which character to fix rather…

• amortize_schedule

  Returns the full row-by-row schedule: per-period interest, scheduled principal, any extra principal, PMI, payment and running balance. Handles monthly or daily accrual (daily needs a start date, so leap years follow from the calendar rather than an assumption), biweekly…

• iso_week_run

  Converts calendar dates to ISO 8601 week-numbering dates and back, in either direction, and reports how many weeks an ISO year has. Use it whenever a date must be expressed as a week number or a week number turned back into a date — sprint planning, reporting periods, "week 37"…

• validate_json

  Validates a JSON document and reports every problem in one pass with a 1-based line and column, a stable rule code and a fix hint. Reports the three things JSON.parse cannot: duplicate keys (accepted by every parser, which then disagree about which value wins), integer precision…

• validate_yaml

  Validates a YAML document, including the values that mean different things to different loaders — found by resolving each unquoted scalar under both spec versions and comparing, not by matching a list of words. In YAML 1.1 (PyYAML) the bare words no/yes/on/off/y/n are booleans…

• validate_xml

  Validates XML for well-formedness, namespace correctness and entity-based attacks. Catches four classes of invalid XML that ordinary well-formedness checkers accept: two root elements, undeclared namespace prefixes (well-formed as raw XML and rejected by XPath, XSLT, SOAP and…

• validate_csv

  Validates CSV against RFC 4180 and reports ragged rows individually with both field counts, because "row 4813 has 6 fields, the header has 5" is the entire answer. A ragged row loads without complaint almost everywhere — pandas pads or throws by engine, Excel shifts the columns…

• validate_auto

  Detects whether a payload is JSON, YAML, XML or CSV, then validates it. Use it for a file with no extension, a clipboard paste, or a response body with an unhelpful content type. Detection is structural and the reason is always returned, so the assumption is visible: a leading…

• equation_steps_run

  Solves a linear or quadratic equation in one variable and returns every step: expanding parentheses, combining like terms, moving terms across the equals sign, and applying the quadratic formula with the discriminant stated. Reports identities and contradictions as such rather…
