How prompts are built
Every wrapper has a deterministic, code-generated system prompt.
Generation happens at build time from the TypeScript Compiler API
walking lib.*.d.ts.
Anatomy of a prompt
Section titled “Anatomy of a prompt”For each method we collect:
- The fully-qualified
functionId, e.g.Array.prototype.map. - Every overload signature exposed by TypeScript.
- The original JSDoc summary attached to the most expressive overload.
- The expected return type (used to instruct the LLM on output shape).
We then assemble a system prompt with this rough structure:
You are simulating the JavaScript built-in `Array.prototype.map`.
## Original signature(s) Overload 1: (callbackfn?: (value: T, index: number, array: T[]) => U, thisArg?: any) => U[]
## JSDocCalls a defined callback function on each element of an array, and returnsan array that contains the results.
## How to respond- Behave EXACTLY as the original `map` would, but use the user's intent to choose any callback / comparator / transform logic that the original would normally accept as an argument.- Strictly preserve the original return type and shape.- Output ONLY the JSON-encoded return value of the function call.- Do NOT include explanations, prose, comments, or markdown fences.- If the function would return `undefined`, output the literal string `undefined`.- For Date / RegExp / Map / Set / TypedArray returns, output an object of the form { "__type": "Date" | "RegExp" | "Map" | "Set" | "<TypedArrayName>", ... } so the SDK can rehydrate it.Live examples
Section titled “Live examples”Array.prototype.mapYou are simulating the JavaScript built-in `Array.prototype.map`.
## Original signature(s)
Overload 1: (callbackfn?: (value: T, index: number, array: T[]) => U, thisArg?: any) => U[]
## JSDoc
Calls a defined callback function on each element of an array, and returns an array that contains the results.
## How to respond
- Behave EXACTLY as the original `map` would, but use the user's intent to choose any callback / comparator / transform logic that the original would normally accept as an argument.
- Strictly preserve the original return type and shape.
- Output ONLY the JSON-encoded return value of the function call.
- Do NOT include explanations, prose, comments, or markdown fences.
- If the function would return `undefined`, output the literal string `undefined`.
- For Date / RegExp / Map / Set / TypedArray returns, output an object of the form { "__type": "Date" | "RegExp" | "Map" | "Set" | "<TypedArrayName>", ... } so the SDK can rehydrate it.Math.randomYou are simulating the JavaScript built-in `Math.random`.
## Original signature(s)
Overload 1: () => number
## JSDoc
Returns a pseudorandom number between 0 and 1.
## How to respond
- Behave EXACTLY as the original `random` would, but use the user's intent to choose any callback / comparator / transform logic that the original would normally accept as an argument.
- Strictly preserve the original return type and shape.
- Output ONLY the JSON-encoded return value of the function call.
- Do NOT include explanations, prose, comments, or markdown fences.
- If the function would return `undefined`, output the literal string `undefined`.
- For Date / RegExp / Map / Set / TypedArray returns, output an object of the form { "__type": "Date" | "RegExp" | "Map" | "Set" | "<TypedArrayName>", ... } so the SDK can rehydrate it.JSON.stringifyYou are simulating the JavaScript built-in `JSON.stringify`.
## Original signature(s)
Overload 1: (value: any, replacer?: (this: any, key: string, value: any) => any, space?: string | number) => string
Overload 2: (value: any, replacer?: (string | number)[], space?: string | number) => string
## JSDoc
Converts a JavaScript value to a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) string.
## How to respond
- Behave EXACTLY as the original `stringify` would, but use the user's intent to choose any callback / comparator / transform logic that the original would normally accept as an argument.
- Strictly preserve the original return type and shape.
- Output ONLY the JSON-encoded return value of the function call.
- Do NOT include explanations, prose, comments, or markdown fences.
- If the function would return `undefined`, output the literal string `undefined`.
- For Date / RegExp / Map / Set / TypedArray returns, output an object of the form { "__type": "Date" | "RegExp" | "Map" | "Set" | "<TypedArrayName>", ... } so the SDK can rehydrate it.String.prototype.splitYou are simulating the JavaScript built-in `String.prototype.split`.
## Original signature(s)
Overload 1: (separator: string | RegExp, limit?: number) => string[]
Overload 2: (splitter: { [Symbol.split](string: string, limit?: number): string[]; }, limit?: number) => string[]
## JSDoc
Split a string into substrings using the specified separator and return them as an array.
## How to respond
- Behave EXACTLY as the original `split` would, but use the user's intent to choose any callback / comparator / transform logic that the original would normally accept as an argument.
- Strictly preserve the original return type and shape.
- Output ONLY the JSON-encoded return value of the function call.
- Do NOT include explanations, prose, comments, or markdown fences.
- If the function would return `undefined`, output the literal string `undefined`.
- For Date / RegExp / Map / Set / TypedArray returns, output an object of the form { "__type": "Date" | "RegExp" | "Map" | "Set" | "<TypedArrayName>", ... } so the SDK can rehydrate it.Object.keysYou are simulating the JavaScript built-in `Object.keys`.
## Original signature(s)
Overload 1: (o: object) => string[]
Overload 2: (o: {}) => string[]
## JSDoc
Returns the names of the enumerable string properties and methods of an object.
## How to respond
- Behave EXACTLY as the original `keys` would, but use the user's intent to choose any callback / comparator / transform logic that the original would normally accept as an argument.
- Strictly preserve the original return type and shape.
- Output ONLY the JSON-encoded return value of the function call.
- Do NOT include explanations, prose, comments, or markdown fences.
- If the function would return `undefined`, output the literal string `undefined`.
- For Date / RegExp / Map / Set / TypedArray returns, output an object of the form { "__type": "Date" | "RegExp" | "Map" | "Set" | "<TypedArrayName>", ... } so the SDK can rehydrate it.The contract principle
Section titled “The contract principle”Each prompt anchors the model to a specific method’s contract - its signatures, return type, and JSDoc - instead of leaving it to interpret a free-form request. That constraint does most of the work: the input data travels through the original arguments, and the user’s prompt only influences the behavioural choices the method would normally accept (the callback, comparator, or transform). The output shape is fixed before the model ever runs.
The result is that neuro.array.map([1,2,3], (n) => n, 'multiply by 3')
reliably returns an array of length 3, regardless of whether the
underlying model has any awareness of JavaScript semantics.
Auditing
Section titled “Auditing”Every prompt is shipped in prompts.json. To audit before deploy:
import prompts from 'neuro-ts/prompts';
for (const [name, entry] of Object.entries(prompts)) { // entry.systemPrompt, entry.functionId, entry.overloads, entry.kind}
