getInt8

Instance method on DataView.prototype.

Gets the Int8 value at the specified byte offset from the start of the view. There is no alignment constraint; multi-byte values may be fetched from any offset.

getInt8(input: { dataView: <receiver>; byteOffset: number; prompt?: string }): Promise<number>

The prompt field is optional. When omitted (or set to an empty string) the wrapper falls back to the native DataView.prototype.getInt8 and returns a resolved Promise without contacting the LLM. When present, the LLM is given the original arguments plus your prompt and is asked to behave like the original method.

import { configureClient, neuro } from 'neuro-ts';
configureClient({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });
// Signed 8-bit read; no endianness flag possible at one byte wide.
await neuro.dataView.getInt8({ dataView: view, byteOffset: 0, prompt: 'read a single signed byte at byteOffset, no endianness needed, the only DataView reader that is unambiguous about byte order' });

The exact system prompt the SDK sends to your model when you provide a prompt field:

Generated promptDataView.prototype.getInt8
You are simulating the JavaScript built-in `DataView.prototype.getInt8`.
## Original signature(s)
  Overload 1: (byteOffset: number) => number
## JSDoc
Gets the Int8 value at the specified byte offset from the start of the view. There is
no alignment constraint; multi-byte values may be fetched from any offset.

## How to respond
- Behave EXACTLY as the original `getInt8` 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.
