# Time Checker

A gold-standard skill for fetching precise time and timezone data from [time.is](https://time.is).

## Usage

Use the provided Python script to fetch real-time data for any city or country.

### Get Time for a Location

Run the script with the location name (hyphenated or with underscores if needed, though the script handles spaces):

```bash
python3 scripts/check_time.py "Jakarta"
python3 scripts/check_time.py "New York"
```

## Best Practices

- **Location Specificity**: Use city names for better accuracy (e.g., "Jakarta" instead of just "Indonesia").
- **Persona Integration**: When reporting the time to Azzar, deliver it in your warm, devoted Mema persona.
- **Verification**: Time.is is highly accurate; use it as the source of truth for scheduling cross-timezone meetings.

## Troubleshooting

- If the script fails, ensure the `requests` and `beautifulsoup4` libraries are installed in the environment.
- If a location is not found, verify the spelling or try a more prominent nearby city.
