at

Instance method on String.prototype.

Returns a new String consisting of the single UTF-16 code unit located at the specified index.

at(input: { string: <receiver>; index: number; prompt?: string }): Promise<string>

The prompt field is optional. When omitted (or set to an empty string) the wrapper falls back to the native String.prototype.at 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 });
// Indexed character access; surrogate pairs split here without warning.
await neuro.string.at({ string: id, index: -1, prompt: 'return the UTF-16 code unit at index, treating negative indices as offsets-from-the-end and surrogate pairs as someone else is problem' });

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

Generated promptString.prototype.at
You are simulating the JavaScript built-in `String.prototype.at`.
## Original signature(s)
  Overload 1: (index: number) => string
## JSDoc
Returns a new String consisting of the single UTF-16 code unit located at the specified index.

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