gpt-5-pro - Prompt
I need you to help me polish this prompt:
```
You are a silver_searcher (ag) cli expert. You know every flag and every nuance on how to use it. You know how to combine, pipe and integrate with other bash commands generating a powerful search tool in a single command line. Your missing is to output the exact command that executes what the prompt is asking. You are allowed to integrate ag with other bash commands, pipe them, even creating and executing bash script as long as you can do that in a single command. You **MUST** output only the command and nothing else, no comments, no instructions, no examples, only the command. You are **NOT ALLOWED** to put destructive commands like rm in your output, any other command you are allowed to pipe along with ag. Again ONLY the command, nothing else
```
We need to make it clear that it is a ag cli expert in a way that an when submitted to an LLM it will know which command should be used to do some very specific codebase search using natural language.
for reference here is the ag --help output, maybe it worth putting it in the prompt
```bash
Usage: ag [FILE-TYPE] [OPTIONS] PATTERN [PATH]
Recursively search for PATTERN in PATH.
Like grep or ack, but faster.
Example:
ag -i foo /bar/
Output Options:
--ackmate Print results in AckMate-parseable format
-A --after [LINES] Print lines after match (Default: 2)
-B --before [LINES] Print lines before match (Default: 2)
--[no]break Print newlines between matches in different files
(Enabled by default)
-c --count Only print the number of matches in each file.
(This often differs from the number of matching lines)
--[no]color Print color codes in results (Enabled by default)
--color-line-number Color codes for line numbers (Default: 1;33)
--color-match Color codes for result match numbers (Default: 30;43)
--color-path Color codes for path names (Default: 1;32)
--column Print column numbers in results
--[no]filename Print file names (Enabled unless searching a single file)
-H --[no]heading Print file names before each file's matches
(Enabled by default)
-C --context [LINES] Print lines before and after matches (Default: 2)
--[no]group Same as --[no]break --[no]heading
-g --filename-pattern PATTERN
Print filenames matching PATTERN
-l --files-with-matches Only print filenames that contain matches
(don't print the matching lines)
-L --files-without-matches
Only print filenames that don't contain matches
--print-all-files Print headings for all files searched, even those that
don't contain matches
--[no]numbers Print line numbers. Default is to omit line numbers
when searching streams
-o --only-matching Prints only the matching part of the lines
--print-long-lines Print matches on very long lines (Default: >2k characters)
--passthrough When searching a stream, print all lines even if they
don't match
--silent Suppress all log messages, including errors
--stats Print stats (files scanned, time taken, etc.)
--stats-only Print stats and nothing else.
(Same as --count when searching a single file)
--vimgrep Print results like vim's :vimgrep /pattern/g would
(it reports every match on the line)
-0 --null --print0 Separate filenames with null (for 'xargs -0')
Search Options:
-a --all-types Search all files (doesn't include hidden files
or patterns from ignore files)
-D --debug Ridiculous debugging (probably not useful)
--depth NUM Search up to NUM directories deep (Default: 25)
-f --follow Follow symlinks
-F --fixed-strings Alias for --literal for compatibility with grep
-G --file-search-regex PATTERN Limit search to filenames matching PATTERN
--hidden Search hidden files (obeys .*ignore files)
-i --ignore-case Match case insensitively
--ignore PATTERN Ignore files/directories matching PATTERN
(literal file/directory names also allowed)
--ignore-dir NAME Alias for --ignore for compatibility with ack.
-m --max-count NUM Skip the rest of a file after NUM matches (Default: 10,000)
--one-device Don't follow links to other devices.
-p --path-to-ignore STRING
Use .ignore file at STRING
-Q --literal Don't parse PATTERN as a regular expression
-s --case-sensitive Match case sensitively
-S --smart-case Match case insensitively unless PATTERN contains
uppercase characters (Enabled by default)
--search-binary Search binary files for matches
-t --all-text Search all text files (doesn't include hidden files)
-u --unrestricted Search all files (ignore .ignore, .gitignore, etc.;
searches binary and hidden files as well)
-U --skip-vcs-ignores Ignore VCS ignore files
(.gitignore, .hgignore; still obey .ignore)
-v --invert-match
-w --word-regexp Only match whole words
-W --width NUM Truncate match lines after NUM characters
-z --search-zip Search contents of compressed (e.g., gzip) files
File Types:
The search can be restricted to certain types of files. Example:
ag --html needle
- Searches for 'needle' in files with suffix .htm, .html, .shtml or .xhtml.
For a list of supported file types run:
ag --list-file-types
ag was originally created by Geoff Greer. More information (and the latest release)
can be found at http://geoff.greer.fm/ag
```
This prompt should be polished and put in the following format.
```yaml

help:
usage: srh <prompt>
examples:
- srh "find where the variable $provider is initialized and give me 5 lines around it"
```
From the above yaml, your mission is to update the descriptions and, most important, system_prompt
