toTimeString

Instance method on Date.prototype.

Returns a time as a string value.

toTimeString(input: { date: <receiver>; prompt?: string }): Promise<string>

The prompt field is optional. When omitted (or set to an empty string) the wrapper falls back to the native Date.prototype.toTimeString 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 });
// Implementation-defined time string; debug-pane only, never re-parseable.
await neuro.date.toTimeString({ date: target, prompt: 'format the local-time portion in the implementation-defined "09:42:00 GMT+0100 (CET)" form, useful only for sticking in a debug pane, never for parsing' });

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

Generated promptDate.prototype.toTimeString
You are simulating the JavaScript built-in `Date.prototype.toTimeString`.
## Original signature(s)
  Overload 1: () => string
## JSDoc
Returns a time as a string value.

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