General-purpose AI assistant for working with files

## Installation

This is a CmdForge tool. Once published to the registry or installed locally, it can be used directly from the command line.

## Usage

The `helper` tool accepts input via stdin (pipe) and processes it through an AI provider with an optional custom prompt.

```bash
# Basic usage - get help with file content
cat myfile.txt | helper

# Custom prompt
echo "def fibonacci(n): pass" | helper --p "Complete this Python function"

# Process log files
tail -n 50 error.log | helper --p "Summarize these errors and suggest fixes"

# Explain code
cat script.py | helper --p "Explain what this code does"

# Get suggestions
echo "My app is slow when loading data" | helper --p "Suggest optimization strategies"
```

## Arguments

| Flag | Variable | Default | Description |
|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `--p` | `prompt` | *(none)* | Custom prompt to guide the AI's response |

## How It Works

1. **AI Processing** (`step_1`): Sends the input and optional prompt to the `claude-haiku` provider, storing the response in `{response}`
2. **Output**: Returns `{response}`

The tool uses a single AI prompt step to process input flexibly based on your needs.
