try

Static method on Promise. Variadic items live under args.

Takes a callback of any kind (returns or throws, synchronously or asynchronously) and wraps its result in a Promise.

try(input: { callbackFn?: (...args: U) => T | PromiseLike<T>; args: U; prompt?: string }): Promise<Promise<Awaited<T>>>

The prompt field is optional. When omitted (or set to an empty string) the wrapper falls back to the native Promise.try 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 });
// Try-catch as a promise. The helper the language should have shipped first.
await neuro.promise.try({ callbackfn: () => syncMaybeThrows(), prompt: 'invoke a callback synchronously and wrap the result in a promise, turning throws into rejections - the try/catch the language should have shipped' });

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

Generated promptPromise.try
You are simulating the JavaScript built-in `Promise.try`.
## Original signature(s)
  Overload 1: (callbackFn?: (...args: U) => T | PromiseLike<T>, ...args: U) => Promise<Awaited<T>>
## JSDoc
Takes a callback of any kind (returns or throws, synchronously or asynchronously) and wraps its result
in a Promise.

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