## Usage Examples
```bash
# Generate from description
npx ai-cron-gen "first day of every month at midnight"
# Explain existing cron
npx ai-cron-gen --explain "0 */4 * * *"
# Get next 5 run times
npx ai-cron-gen "every 30 minutes" --next 5
```
## Output
```
Expression: 0 9 * * 1-5
Meaning: At 09:00 on every day-of-week from Monday through Friday
