## 🧰 CLI Tool: Compare Weeks

This package includes a CLI tool to compare **Gregorian calendar weeks** with **Faerûn tendays**.

Useful for Dungeon Masters who want to align real-world weeks with in-game Faerûn time.

### 🔧 Usage

After installing the package (or using `bun link` / `npm link`):

```bash
npx faerun-compare-weeks
# or with custom options:
npx faerun-compare-weeks --year 1489 --weeks 30
```

You can also run it directly if you're developing locally:

```bash
bun run bin/compare-weeks.js --year 1491 --weeks 15
```

### 🧩 Options

- `--year <YYYY>` – The Gregorian year to compare (default: current year)
- `--weeks <N>` – Number of Gregorian weeks to display (default: 20)

### 📋 Output Example

```text
Gregorian Week → Faerûn Tenday Correspondence for year 1489
Week 01 → Tenday 01 (Mon Jan 01 1489)
Week 02 → Tenday 02 (Mon Jan 08 1489)
Week 03 → Tenday 03 (Mon Jan 15 1489)
...
Week 15 → Tenday 10 (Mon Apr 07 1489)
```

🧙 Ideal for planning weekly D&D sessions, synchronizing downtime, or tracking Faerûn time progression alongside real-world calendars.
