  #### Step 2.1: Determine Current Date
118
- **Objective:** Get current date for folder naming and document timestamps
119
-
120
- **Date Determination Process:**
121
-
122
- 1. **CREATE** directory if not exists: `.code-captain/specs/`
123
- 2. **CREATE** temporary file: `.code-captain/specs/.date-check`
124
- 3. **READ** file creation timestamp from filesystem
125
- 4. **EXTRACT** date in YYYY-MM-DD format
126
- 5. **DELETE** temporary file
127
- 6. **STORE** date in variable for folder naming
128
-
129
- **Fallback Method:** If file system method fails:
130
- 1. **STATE**: "I need to confirm today's date for the specification folder"
131
- 2. **ASK**: "What is today's date? (YYYY-MM-DD format)"
132
- 3. **WAIT** for user response
133
- 4. **VALIDATE** format matches `^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$`
134
- - year: 2024-2030
135
- - month: 01-12
136
- - day: 01-31
137
- 5. **STORE** date for folder naming
138
-
139
- **Error Handling:**
140
- - **IF** date_invalid: USE fallback_method
141
- - **IF** both_methods_fail: ERROR "Unable to determine current date"
130
+
131
+ Get current date by running: `npx @devobsessed/code-captain date`
132
+
133
+ This returns the current date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format for folder naming:
