stdlib-but-with-api-billing

Mission-critical utility functions for teams that believe Array.prototype.sort() is too tightly coupled to local compute.

This package replaces fast, deterministic built-ins with premium network latency and per-token pricing.

Features

• Sort arrays by asking a frontier model to kindly reorder them
• Evaluate boolean expressions with a prompt instead of an interpreter
• Reverse strings through a state-of-the-art remote reasoning pipeline
• Parse numbers with organizational alignment and API billing

Install

npm install

Setup

export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

Optional overrides:

export OPENAI_MODEL="gpt-4.1-mini"

Demo

npm run demo

Example

import {
  sortArrayWithCorporateSynergy,
  solveBooleanExpressionWithLeadershipAlignment,
  reverseStringWithPremiumLatency,
  parseNumberWithConfidence
} from "stdlib-but-with-api-billing";

const sorted = await sortArrayWithCorporateSynergy([9, 3, 5, 1]);
const boolResult = await solveBooleanExpressionWithLeadershipAlignment("true && (false || true)");
const reversed = await reverseStringWithPremiumLatency("technical debt");
const numberValue = await parseNumberWithConfidence("0042");

console.log({ sorted, boolResult, reversed, numberValue });

Why

Local execution is cheap, reliable, and sensible. This library rejects all three.

API

sortArrayWithCorporateSynergy(values)

Returns a numerically ascending copy of values, but only after consulting a language model.

solveBooleanExpressionWithLeadershipAlignment(expression)

Evaluates a boolean expression containing true, false, &&, ||, !, and parentheses.

reverseStringWithPremiumLatency(value)

Returns the reversed string after a fully unnecessary round trip.

parseNumberWithConfidence(input)

Returns a JavaScript number parsed from text by outsourcing the concept of digits.
