SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps analyze and understand the leap year calculation logic used in the IsLeapYear application, including Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew, and Chinese calendars.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rule Explanation: Clarify Gregorian 4/100/400 rule and alternate calendars.
  • Calendar Comparisons: Compare leap-year behavior across Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew, and Chinese systems.
  • Year Range Validation: Verify allowed ranges (1582-9999 for Gregorian; range checks for others).

Quick Start

Ask for an explanation of whether year 2100 is a leap year under Gregorian and Julian calendars.

Frequently Asked Questions about leap-year-analyzer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine if a year is a leap year in the Gregorian calendar?

A Gregorian leap year is divisible by 4, except for years divisible by 100 (which are not leap years) unless also divisible by 400. For example, 2000 is a leap year, but 1900 is not. This Skill applies these rules to validate years between 1582–9999.

What's the difference between Gregorian and Julian leap-year rules?

The Julian calendar treats any year divisible by 4 as a leap year, without the 100/400 exceptions used in the Gregorian system. This Skill compares both systems so you can see how the same year behaves under each calendar standard.

Can I check leap-year status across Hebrew and Chinese calendars?

Yes, this Skill determines leap-year status for Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew, and Chinese calendars, applying each system's specific intercalation rules. You can validate a single year or perform batch checks across all four calendar systems within the supported range.

Why does year 2100 behave differently in Gregorian versus Julian calendars?

Year 2100 is divisible by 100 but not by 400, making it a common year in the Gregorian calendar but a leap year in the Julian system. This Skill explains such rule differences and helps debug calendar conversion edge cases.

What year ranges does this Skill support for leap-year analysis?

The Skill validates years from 1582 to 9999 for the Gregorian calendar, with specific range checks applied to Julian, Hebrew, and Chinese calendars. Attempting to analyze years outside these ranges will return a validation error.

Can I use this Skill to validate year inputs in an application?

Yes, the Skill exports an `isLeapYear(year, calendar)` function and an API route for batch leap-year validation. You can integrate it to enforce year-range constraints (1582–9999) and apply calendar-specific leap-year logic in production workflows.
