+```
+
+## Build Status
+
+✅ **Build Successful** - The project compiles without errors or warnings for both net472 and net8.0-windows target frameworks.
+
+## How to Use
+
+### Step 1: Configure Environment Variables
+
+```powershell
+# Set these environment variables (example for PowerShell)
+$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT = "https://your-endpoint.azure.com"
+$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY = "your-api-key"
+$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_MODEL_NAME = "gpt-4"  # Optional, defaults to gpt-4
+```
+
+### Step 2: Run the Application
+
+1. Build and run StructuredLogViewer
+2. Open a .binlog file
+3. Click the **✨ Copilot** button in the top-right corner
+4. The chat panel will appear on the right side
+
+### Step 3: Start Chatting
+
+Ask questions like:
+- "What errors occurred in this build?"
+- "Show me a summary of the build"
+- "What projects were built?"
+- "Search for compilation failures"
+
+## Architecture Highlights
+
+### Design Patterns Used:
+- **Service Layer**: Separation of concerns between UI, service, and data access
+- **Factory Pattern**: AIFunctionFactory for creating tool definitions
+- **Observer Pattern**: Event-based communication between components
+- **Strategy Pattern**: IChatClient abstraction allows swapping LLM providers
+
+### Key Features:
+- **Asynchronous**: All LLM calls are async to keep UI responsive
+- **Cancellable**: Operations can be cancelled by the user
+- **Context-Aware**: Automatically includes selected node information
+- **Tool Calling**: LLM can query binlog data via defined tools
+- **Multi-Turn**: Supports back-and-forth conversation with context
+
+## Future Enhancements (Not Yet Implemented)
+
+As documented in the plan, these are potential improvements:
+- GitHub Copilot service integration (alternative to Azure Foundry)
+- Chat history persistence across sessions
+- Export conversations to markdown
+- More sophisticated analysis tools
+- Custom tool definitions
+- Voice input support
+- Chat presets/templates
+
+## Testing Recommendations
+
+To test the feature:
+
+1. **Configuration Testing**:
+   - Start app without env vars → Should show "not configured" message
+   - Set env vars and restart → Should show "Connected to..." status
+
+2. **Basic Chat Testing**:
+   - Send simple message → Should get response from LLM
+   - Click Clear → Should reset conversation
+
+3. **Tool Calling Testing**:
+   - Ask "what errors occurred?" → Should invoke GetErrorsAndWarnings tool
+   - Ask "show build summary" → Should invoke GetBuildSummary tool
+
+4. **Context Testing**:
+   - Select an error node in tree
+   - Ask "tell me about this" → Should have context about selected error
+
+5. **UI Testing**:
+   - Toggle Copilot button → Panel shows/hides
+   - Resize panel with splitter → Should work smoothly
+   - Send long message → Should wrap correctly
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Preview Packages**: Uses preview versions of Microsoft.Extensions.AI (stable release expected soon)
+2. **Azure Only**: Currently only supports Azure AI Foundry/Azure OpenAI (GitHub Copilot planned)
+3. **Tool Arguments**: Tool argument parsing is basic (may need refinement for complex scenarios)
+4. **No Persistence**: Chat history is lost when switching binlogs or closing app
+5. **Error Handling**: Basic error handling (could be enhanced with retry logic, etc.)
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Lazy Initialization**: Chat service only created when first binlog is loaded
+- **Streaming**: Not currently implemented (could be added for better UX with long responses)
+- **Token Limits**: No automatic truncation of very large binlogs (user should be mindful)
+- **Caching**: No caching of LLM responses (each question makes a new API call)
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+⚠️ **Important**: 
+- Build logs may contain sensitive data (paths, secrets, env vars)
+- All chat data is sent to configured Azure endpoint
+- Consider using "Redact Secrets" feature before analysis
+- Review organization policies regarding AI service usage
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+All planned requirements have been met:
+
+✅ Copilot button visible in UI  
+✅ Chat panel opens/closes properly  
+✅ Can send messages to Azure Foundry LLM  
+✅ LLM receives current node context  
+✅ Tools are callable by LLM (5 tools implemented)  
+✅ Chat history displays correctly  
+✅ Error handling works gracefully  
+✅ User can have functional conversation about binlog  
+✅ Project builds without errors  
+✅ Code follows existing patterns and conventions  
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The Copilot Chat feature is fully functional and ready for testing. The implementation provides a solid foundation that can be extended with additional capabilities in the future. The use of Microsoft.Extensions.AI abstractions makes it straightforward to add support for other LLM providers like GitHub Copilot when ready.

+# Copilot Chat Feature - Setup Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+The MSBuild Structured Log Viewer now includes a Copilot Chat feature that allows you to query and analyze binlog files using AI-powered assistance. The chat uses Azure AI Foundry (or compatible endpoints) to provide intelligent answers about your build logs.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Interactive Chat Interface**: Ask questions about your build in natural language
+- **Context-Aware**: Automatically includes information about the currently selected node in the tree
+- **Tool Integration**: The AI can execute functions to query the binlog data:
+  - `GetBuildSummary()` - Get build status, duration, and error/warning counts
+  - `SearchNodes(query)` - Search for specific nodes in the build tree
+  - `GetErrorsAndWarnings(type)` - List all errors and/or warnings
+  - `GetProjects()` - Get all projects with their build status
+  - `GetProjectTargets(projectName)` - Get targets for a specific project
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Configure Environment Variables
+
+Before using Copilot Chat, you must set up the following environment variables:
+
+#### Required Variables:
+
+```bash
+# Windows (PowerShell)
+$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT = "https://your-endpoint.azure.com"
+$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here"
+
+# Windows (Command Prompt)
+set AZURE_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT=https://your-endpoint.azure.com
+set AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+
+# Linux/macOS
+export AZURE_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT="https://your-endpoint.azure.com"
+export AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+```
+
+#### Optional Variables:
+
+```bash
+# Specify the model name (defaults to "gpt-4")
+$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_MODEL_NAME = "gpt-4"
+```
+
+### 2. Restart the Application
+
+After setting the environment variables, restart the MSBuild Structured Log Viewer for the changes to take effect.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Opening the Chat Panel
+
+1. Load a binlog file in the viewer
+2. Click the **✨ Copilot** button in the top-right corner of the window
+3. The chat panel will appear on the right side of the interface
+
+### Asking Questions
+
+Type your question in the input box at the bottom of the chat panel and press Enter or click Send.
+
+#### Example Questions:
+
+- "What errors occurred in this build?"
+- "Show me a summary of the build"
+- "How long did the build take?"
+- "What projects were built?"
+- "Search for 'compilation failed'"
+- "What warnings are in the CoreLib project?"
+- "Show me the targets in MyProject.csproj"
+
+### Using Context
+
+When you select a node in the build tree (left side), that node's context is automatically included in your chat. This helps the AI provide more relevant answers.
+
+For example:
+1. Select an error node in the tree
+2. Ask "Tell me more about this error"
+3. The AI will have context about which error you selected
+
+### Managing the Conversation
+
+- **Send Message**: Press Enter or click the Send button
+- **New Line**: Press Shift+Enter to add a line break without sending
+- **Clear Chat**: Click the "Clear" button to start a fresh conversation
+
+## Obtaining Azure AI Credentials
+
+### Option 1: Azure AI Foundry
+
+1. Go to [Azure AI Foundry](https://ai.azure.com/)
+2. Create a new project or use an existing one
+3. Deploy a model (e.g., GPT-4)
+4. Get your endpoint URL and API key from the deployment settings
+
+### Option 2: Azure OpenAI Service
+
+1. Create an Azure OpenAI resource in the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/)
+2. Deploy a model
+3. Get the endpoint and key from "Keys and Endpoint" section
+
+### Option 3: Compatible Endpoints
+
+The feature uses the Azure AI Inference SDK, which is compatible with:
+- Azure AI Foundry
+- Azure OpenAI Service
+- GitHub Models (future support planned)
+- Other OpenAI-compatible endpoints
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Copilot is not configured" Error
+
+**Cause**: Environment variables are not set or application hasn't been restarted.
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Verify environment variables are set correctly
+2. Restart the application
+3. Check that the endpoint URL is valid and accessible
+
+### Connection Errors
+
+**Cause**: Network issues, invalid credentials, or endpoint unavailable.
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Verify your API key is correct
+2. Check that the endpoint URL is accessible from your network
+3. Ensure you have an active subscription/credits
+
+### Copilot Button Disabled
+
+**Cause**: No build is currently loaded.
+
+**Solution**: Load a binlog file first, then click the Copilot button.
+
+## Privacy and Security
+
+⚠️ **Important**: When using Copilot Chat, build data is sent to the configured AI service endpoint. Be aware that:
+
+1. Build logs may contain sensitive information (paths, environment variables, etc.)
+2. Data is sent to your configured Azure endpoint
+3. Consider using the "Redact Secrets" feature before analyzing sensitive builds
+4. Review your organization's policies regarding AI service usage
+

+# Copilot Chat Feature
+
+The MSBuild Structured Log Viewer now includes an AI-powered Copilot Chat feature that allows you to query your build logs using natural language.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Natural Language Queries**: Ask questions about your build in plain English
+- **Context-Aware**: Automatically includes the currently selected build node in the chat context
+- **Build Traversal Tools**: The AI can search, filter, and analyze your build log using built-in tools:
+  - `GetBuildSummary`: Get overall build statistics
+  - `SearchNodes`: Search for specific nodes by query text
+  - `GetErrorsAndWarnings`: Filter errors or warnings
+  - `GetProjects`: List all projects in the build
+  - `GetProjectTargets`: Get targets for a specific project
+
+## Setup
+
+### Option 1: Azure OpenAI (Recommended)
+
+If you have an Azure OpenAI Service deployment:
+
+1. Set the following environment variables:
+   ```
+   AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT=https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/
+   AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
+   AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT=your-deployment-name
+   ```
+
+2. Restart the application
+
+### Option 2: Azure AI Foundry / GitHub Models
+
+If you're using Azure AI Foundry or GitHub Models:
+
+1. Set the following environment variables:
+   ```
+   AZURE_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT=https://your-endpoint.inference.ai.azure.com
+   AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY=your-api-key
+   AZURE_FOUNDRY_MODEL_NAME=gpt-4o
+   ```
+
+2. Restart the application
+
+## Usage
+
+1. **Open a binlog file** in the MSBuild Structured Log Viewer
+2. **Click the Copilot button** (🤖) in the toolbar
+3. **Ask questions** in the chat panel, such as:
+   - "What caused the build to fail?"
+   - "Show me all the errors in this build"
+   - "Which project took the longest to build?"
+   - "What targets were executed for the WebAPI project?"
+4. **Select nodes** in the tree view to automatically include them as context in your chat
+
+## Architecture
+
+The feature is built using:
+
+- **Microsoft.Extensions.AI**: Provides the `IChatClient` abstraction for AI services
+- **Azure.AI.OpenAI**: SDK for Azure OpenAI Service
+- **Azure.AI.Inference**: SDK for Azure AI Foundry and GitHub Models
+- **AIFunction Tool Calling**: Enables the AI to invoke build analysis tools
+
+The implementation uses a service layer pattern with minimal changes to existing code:
+- `CopilotConfiguration`: Loads configuration from environment variables
+- `AzureFoundryLLMClient`: Creates the appropriate AI client
+- `CopilotChatService`: Orchestrates chat sessions with tool calling
+- `BinlogToolExecutor`: Implements the build analysis tools
+- `BinlogContextProvider`: Extracts context from selected build nodes
+
+## Notes
+
+- The Azure AI Inference SDK (`Azure.AI.Inference`) is designed for Azure AI Foundry and GitHub Models
+- For Azure OpenAI Service, use the Azure OpenAI SDK (`Azure.AI.OpenAI`)
+- The configuration automatically detects which provider you're using based on environment variables
+- Azure OpenAI variables take priority if both sets are configured

 ## Setup
 
-### Option 1: Azure OpenAI (Recommended)
+Set the following environment variables:
 
-If you have an Azure OpenAI Service deployment:
+```
+LLM_ENDPOINT=https://your-resource.openai.azure.com/
+LLM_API_KEY=your-api-key
+LLM_MODEL=gpt-4
+```
 
-1. Set the following environment variables:

-   AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key
-   AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT=your-deployment-name
-   ```
+The system will automatically detect which provider to use based on your endpoint:
+- **Azure OpenAI**: Endpoints containing `cognitiveservices.azure.com` or `openai.azure.com`
+- **Anthropic (Azure AI Foundry)**: Endpoints containing `/anthropic/` or models starting with `claude`
+- **Azure AI Inference**: Other Azure AI Foundry or GitHub Models endpoints
 
-2. Restart the application
-
-### Option 2: Azure AI Foundry / GitHub Models
-
-If you're using Azure AI Foundry or GitHub Models:
-
-1. Set the following environment variables:
-   ```
-   AZURE_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT=https://your-endpoint.inference.ai.azure.com
-   AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY=your-api-key
-   AZURE_FOUNDRY_MODEL_NAME=gpt-4o
-   ```
-
-2. Restart the application
+After setting the variables, restart the application.

-```
-
-## Build Status
-
-✅ **Build Successful** - The project compiles without errors or warnings for both net472 and net8.0-windows target frameworks.
-
-## How to Use
-
-### Step 1: Configure Environment Variables
-
-```powershell
-# Set these environment variables (example for PowerShell)
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT = "https://your-endpoint.azure.com"
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY = "your-api-key"
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_MODEL_NAME = "gpt-4"  # Optional, defaults to gpt-4
-```
-
-### Step 2: Run the Application
-
-1. Build and run StructuredLogViewer
-2. Open a .binlog file
-3. Click the **✨ Copilot** button in the top-right corner
-4. The chat panel will appear on the right side
-
-### Step 3: Start Chatting
-
-Ask questions like:
-- "What errors occurred in this build?"
-- "Show me a summary of the build"
-- "What projects were built?"
-- "Search for compilation failures"
-
-## Architecture Highlights
-
-### Design Patterns Used:
-- **Service Layer**: Separation of concerns between UI, service, and data access
-- **Factory Pattern**: AIFunctionFactory for creating tool definitions
-- **Observer Pattern**: Event-based communication between components
-- **Strategy Pattern**: IChatClient abstraction allows swapping LLM providers
-
-### Key Features:
-- **Asynchronous**: All LLM calls are async to keep UI responsive
-- **Cancellable**: Operations can be cancelled by the user
-- **Context-Aware**: Automatically includes selected node information
-- **Tool Calling**: LLM can query binlog data via defined tools
-- **Multi-Turn**: Supports back-and-forth conversation with context
-
-## Future Enhancements (Not Yet Implemented)
-
-As documented in the plan, these are potential improvements:
-- GitHub Copilot service integration (alternative to Azure Foundry)
-- Chat history persistence across sessions
-- Export conversations to markdown
-- More sophisticated analysis tools
-- Custom tool definitions
-- Voice input support
-- Chat presets/templates
-
-## Testing Recommendations
-
-To test the feature:
-
-1. **Configuration Testing**:
-   - Start app without env vars → Should show "not configured" message
-   - Set env vars and restart → Should show "Connected to..." status
-
-2. **Basic Chat Testing**:
-   - Send simple message → Should get response from LLM
-   - Click Clear → Should reset conversation
-
-3. **Tool Calling Testing**:
-   - Ask "what errors occurred?" → Should invoke GetErrorsAndWarnings tool
-   - Ask "show build summary" → Should invoke GetBuildSummary tool
-
-4. **Context Testing**:
-   - Select an error node in tree
-   - Ask "tell me about this" → Should have context about selected error
-
-5. **UI Testing**:
-   - Toggle Copilot button → Panel shows/hides
-   - Resize panel with splitter → Should work smoothly
-   - Send long message → Should wrap correctly
-
-## Known Limitations
-
-1. **Preview Packages**: Uses preview versions of Microsoft.Extensions.AI (stable release expected soon)
-2. **Azure Only**: Currently only supports Azure AI Foundry/Azure OpenAI (GitHub Copilot planned)
-3. **Tool Arguments**: Tool argument parsing is basic (may need refinement for complex scenarios)
-4. **No Persistence**: Chat history is lost when switching binlogs or closing app
-5. **Error Handling**: Basic error handling (could be enhanced with retry logic, etc.)
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-- **Lazy Initialization**: Chat service only created when first binlog is loaded
-- **Streaming**: Not currently implemented (could be added for better UX with long responses)
-- **Token Limits**: No automatic truncation of very large binlogs (user should be mindful)
-- **Caching**: No caching of LLM responses (each question makes a new API call)
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-⚠️ **Important**: 
-- Build logs may contain sensitive data (paths, secrets, env vars)
-- All chat data is sent to configured Azure endpoint
-- Consider using "Redact Secrets" feature before analysis
-- Review organization policies regarding AI service usage
-
-## Success Metrics
-
-All planned requirements have been met:
-
-✅ Copilot button visible in UI  
-✅ Chat panel opens/closes properly  
-✅ Can send messages to Azure Foundry LLM  
-✅ LLM receives current node context  
-✅ Tools are callable by LLM (5 tools implemented)  
-✅ Chat history displays correctly  
-✅ Error handling works gracefully  
-✅ User can have functional conversation about binlog  
-✅ Project builds without errors  
-✅ Code follows existing patterns and conventions  
-
-## Conclusion
-
-The Copilot Chat feature is fully functional and ready for testing. The implementation provides a solid foundation that can be extended with additional capabilities in the future. The use of Microsoft.Extensions.AI abstractions makes it straightforward to add support for other LLM providers like GitHub Copilot when ready.

-# Copilot Chat Feature - Setup Guide
-
-## Overview
-
-The MSBuild Structured Log Viewer now includes a Copilot Chat feature that allows you to query and analyze binlog files using AI-powered assistance. The chat uses Azure AI Foundry (or compatible endpoints) to provide intelligent answers about your build logs.
-
-## Features
-
-- **Interactive Chat Interface**: Ask questions about your build in natural language
-- **Context-Aware**: Automatically includes information about the currently selected node in the tree
-- **Tool Integration**: The AI can execute functions to query the binlog data:
-  - `GetBuildSummary()` - Get build status, duration, and error/warning counts
-  - `SearchNodes(query)` - Search for specific nodes in the build tree
-  - `GetErrorsAndWarnings(type)` - List all errors and/or warnings
-  - `GetProjects()` - Get all projects with their build status
-  - `GetProjectTargets(projectName)` - Get targets for a specific project
-
-## Setup
-
-### 1. Configure Environment Variables
-
-Before using Copilot Chat, you must set up the following environment variables:
-
-#### Required Variables:
-
-```bash
-# Windows (PowerShell)
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT = "https://your-endpoint.azure.com"
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here"
-
-# Windows (Command Prompt)
-set AZURE_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT=https://your-endpoint.azure.com
-set AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
-
-# Linux/macOS
-export AZURE_FOUNDRY_ENDPOINT="https://your-endpoint.azure.com"
-export AZURE_FOUNDRY_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
-```
-
-#### Optional Variables:
-
-```bash
-# Specify the model name (defaults to "gpt-4")
-$env:AZURE_FOUNDRY_MODEL_NAME = "gpt-4"
-```
-
-### 2. Restart the Application
-
-After setting the environment variables, restart the MSBuild Structured Log Viewer for the changes to take effect.
-
-## Usage
-
-### Opening the Chat Panel
-
-1. Load a binlog file in the viewer
-2. Click the **✨ Copilot** button in the top-right corner of the window
-3. The chat panel will appear on the right side of the interface
-
-### Asking Questions
-
-Type your question in the input box at the bottom of the chat panel and press Enter or click Send.
-
-#### Example Questions:
-
-- "What errors occurred in this build?"
-- "Show me a summary of the build"
-- "How long did the build take?"
-- "What projects were built?"
-- "Search for 'compilation failed'"
-- "What warnings are in the CoreLib project?"
-- "Show me the targets in MyProject.csproj"
-
-### Using Context
-
-When you select a node in the build tree (left side), that node's context is automatically included in your chat. This helps the AI provide more relevant answers.
-
-For example:
-1. Select an error node in the tree
-2. Ask "Tell me more about this error"
-3. The AI will have context about which error you selected
-
-### Managing the Conversation
-
-- **Send Message**: Press Enter or click the Send button
-- **New Line**: Press Shift+Enter to add a line break without sending
-- **Clear Chat**: Click the "Clear" button to start a fresh conversation
-
-## Obtaining Azure AI Credentials
-
-### Option 1: Azure AI Foundry
-
-1. Go to [Azure AI Foundry](https://ai.azure.com/)
-2. Create a new project or use an existing one
-3. Deploy a model (e.g., GPT-4)
-4. Get your endpoint URL and API key from the deployment settings
-
-### Option 2: Azure OpenAI Service
-
-1. Create an Azure OpenAI resource in the [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/)
-2. Deploy a model
-3. Get the endpoint and key from "Keys and Endpoint" section
-
-### Option 3: Compatible Endpoints
-
-The feature uses the Azure AI Inference SDK, which is compatible with:
-- Azure AI Foundry
-- Azure OpenAI Service
-- GitHub Models (future support planned)
-- Other OpenAI-compatible endpoints
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "Copilot is not configured" Error
-
-**Cause**: Environment variables are not set or application hasn't been restarted.
-
-**Solution**:
-1. Verify environment variables are set correctly
-2. Restart the application
-3. Check that the endpoint URL is valid and accessible
-
-### Connection Errors
-
-**Cause**: Network issues, invalid credentials, or endpoint unavailable.
-
-**Solution**:
-1. Verify your API key is correct
-2. Check that the endpoint URL is accessible from your network
-3. Ensure you have an active subscription/credits
-
-### Copilot Button Disabled
-
-**Cause**: No build is currently loaded.
-
-**Solution**: Load a binlog file first, then click the Copilot button.
-
-## Privacy and Security
-
-⚠️ **Important**: When using Copilot Chat, build data is sent to the configured AI service endpoint. Be aware that:
-
-1. Build logs may contain sensitive information (paths, environment variables, etc.)
-2. Data is sent to your configured Azure endpoint
-3. Consider using the "Redact Secrets" feature before analyzing sensitive builds
-4. Review your organization's policies regarding AI service usage
-
-## Technical Details
-
-### Architecture
-
-- **Frontend**: WPF control (CopilotChatControl)
-- **Backend**: CopilotChatService orchestrates the chat
-- **AI Integration**: Microsoft.Extensions.AI with Azure AI Inference client
-- **Tool Execution**: BinlogToolExecutor provides functions for the AI to call

+# BinlogTool Prompt - AI-Powered Build Log Analysis
+
+Use natural language to analyze your MSBuild binlog files powered by AI.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variables (one-time setup)
+export LLM_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.azure.com/..."
+export LLM_MODEL="claude-sonnet-4-5-2"  # or "gpt-4", etc.
+export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+
+# Analyze your build
+binlogtool prompt why is this build slow
+
+# Quick answer mode
+binlogtool prompt -mode:singleshot count the projects
+
+# Interactive conversation
+binlogtool prompt -interactive
+```
+
+## Command Syntax
+
+```
+binlogtool prompt [options] <prompt-text>
+binlogtool prompt -interactive [options]
+```
+
+## Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `-binlog:<path>` | Path to binlog file(s), comma-separated for multiple |
+| `--recurse` | Search subdirectories for binlog files |
+| `-llm-endpoint:<url>` | Override LLM endpoint (overrides env var) |
+| `-llm-model:<model>` | Override model name (overrides env var) |
+| `-llm-api-key:<key>` | Override API key (overrides env var) |
+| `-mode:<agent\|singleshot>` | Execution mode (default: agent) |
+| `-interactive` | Enter interactive REPL mode |
+| `-verbose` | Show detailed progress and tool results |
+| `-quiet` | Show only final output and errors |
+| `-help` | Show help message |
+
+## Modes
+
+### Agent Mode (Default)
+Multi-step reasoning with automatic planning, research, and summarization.
+
+**Best for**: Complex questions requiring thorough analysis
+
+**Example**:
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt why is this build taking so long
+```
+
+The agent will:
+1. Create a research plan (3-5 tasks)
+2. Execute each task using available tools
+3. Synthesize findings into comprehensive answer
+
+### Single-Shot Mode
+Direct question answering without planning overhead.
+
+**Best for**: Simple, straightforward questions
+
+**Example**:
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt -mode:singleshot how many projects
+binlogtool prompt -mode:singleshot what errors occurred
+```
+
+### Interactive Mode
+REPL-style conversation with history.
+
+**Best for**: Exploratory analysis, multiple questions
+
+**Example**:
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt -interactive
+> what errors occurred
+> why did project X take so long
+> /mode singleshot
+> count the warnings
+> clear
+> exit
+```
+
+**Interactive Commands**:
+- `exit` or `quit` - Leave interactive mode
+- `clear` - Clear conversation history
+- `/mode agent` - Switch to agent mode
+- `/mode singleshot` - Switch to single-shot mode
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+The same variables used by the GUI StructuredLogViewer:
+
+```bash
+# Required
+export LLM_ENDPOINT="https://your-resource.services.ai.azure.com/..."
+export LLM_MODEL="claude-sonnet-4-5-2"
+export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+```
+
+### Provider Detection
+
+The tool automatically detects the LLM provider based on endpoint and model:
+
+- **Azure OpenAI**: Endpoints containing `cognitiveservices.azure.com` or `openai.azure.com`
+- **Anthropic**: Endpoints containing `/anthropic/` or models starting with `claude`
+- **Azure AI Inference**: Other Azure endpoints
+
+### Command-Line Overrides
+
+CLI arguments take precedence over environment variables:
+
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt -llm-api-key:temp-key what failed
+```
+
+## Binlog Discovery
+
+### Auto-Discovery
+
+If no `-binlog` specified, searches for `*.binlog` in current directory:
+
+```bash
+cd path/to/build/output
+binlogtool prompt what failed
+```
+
+Use `--recurse` to search subdirectories:
+
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt --recurse find all errors
+```
+
+### Explicit Paths
+
+Specify one or more binlog files:
+
+```bash
+# Single file
+binlogtool prompt -binlog:mybuild.binlog what failed
+
+# Multiple files (CSV)
+binlogtool prompt -binlog:build1.binlog,build2.binlog compare these
+
+# Path with spaces (use quotes)
+binlogtool prompt -binlog:"C:\My Build\output.binlog" analyze this
+```
+
+## Output Verbosity
+
+### Normal (Default)
+Shows progress, tool calls, and results:
+
+```
+[SYSTEM] Loading binlog: msbuild.binlog
+[SYSTEM] LLM configured: claude-sonnet-4-5-2 (Anthropic)
+[TOOL] 🔧 Executing: GetBuildSummary
+[TOOL] ✓ GetBuildSummary (0.1s)
+The build completed in 11.011 seconds...
+```
+
+### Verbose (-verbose)
+Includes tool arguments and result previews:
+
+```
+[VERBOSE] Found 1 binlog file(s):
+[VERBOSE]   - C:\path\to\msbuild.binlog
+[TOOL] 🔧 Executing: GetProjects
+[VERBOSE]    Arguments: maxResults: 50
+[TOOL] ✓ GetProjects (0.1s)
+[VERBOSE]    Result: Project1.csproj (8.3s)...
+```
+
+### Quiet (-quiet)
+Only final output and errors (perfect for scripts):
+
+```
+The build completed in 11.011 seconds with 0 errors and 0 warnings.
+```
+
+## Visual Output Format
+
+Color-coded console output helps distinguish message types:
+
+| Prefix | Color | Purpose |
+|--------|-------|---------|
+| `[SYSTEM]` | Gray | System/status messages |
+| `[TOOL]` | Cyan | Tool execution with timing |
+| `[AGENT]` | Yellow | Agent progress with emojis |
+| `[RETRY]` | Magenta | Retry/throttling information |
+| `[ERROR]` | Red | Error messages |
+| `[VERBOSE]` | Dark Gray | Verbose debug info |
+| (none) | White/Green | LLM responses |
+
+## Example Prompts
+
+### Build Analysis
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt why is this build slow
+binlogtool prompt what's taking the most time
+binlogtool prompt which project built the longest
+binlogtool prompt how can I make this faster
+```
+
+### Error Investigation
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt what errors occurred
+binlogtool prompt show me compilation errors
+binlogtool prompt why did project X fail
+binlogtool prompt list all warnings
+```
+
+### Build Information
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt count the projects
+binlogtool prompt list all projects
+binlogtool prompt show build summary
+binlogtool prompt how long did it take
+```
+
+### Target Analysis
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt which targets ran
+binlogtool prompt what did the Build target do
+binlogtool prompt show me the CoreCompile execution
+```
+
+### Advanced Analysis
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt compare this build to best practices
+binlogtool prompt analyze build parallelization
+binlogtool prompt find performance bottlenecks
+binlogtool prompt what's causing the rebuild
+```
+
+## Exit Codes
+
+| Code | Meaning |
+|------|---------|
+| 0 | Success |
+| -1 | No binlog file found |
+| -2 | LLM not configured (missing env vars) |
+| -3 | Invalid command-line arguments |
+| -4 | LLM execution failed |
+| -5 | Cancelled by user (Ctrl+C) |
+
+Perfect for scripting and CI/CD integration!
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### No Binlog Found
+```
+[ERROR] No binlog files found.
+[SYSTEM] Searched in: C:\current\directory
+```
+
+**Solution**: Ensure you're in the correct directory or use `-binlog:<path>`
+
+### LLM Not Configured
+```
+[ERROR] LLM is not configured.
+[SYSTEM] Please set these environment variables:
+[SYSTEM]   LLM_ENDPOINT - LLM service endpoint URL
+[SYSTEM]   LLM_MODEL - Model name
+[SYSTEM]   LLM_API_KEY - API key for authentication
+```
+
+**Solution**: Set the required environment variables or use CLI overrides
+
+### Invalid Arguments
+```
+Error: Unknown option: -badarg
+Use 'binlogtool prompt -help' for usage information.
+```
+
+**Solution**: Check the help for valid options
+
+## Tips & Best Practices
+
+### 1. Choose the Right Mode
+
+- **Agent mode**: Complex questions, thorough analysis
+- **Single-shot**: Quick facts, simple queries
+- **Interactive**: Exploring, multiple related questions
+
+### 2. Use Verbosity Appropriately
+
+- **Normal**: Day-to-day use
+- **Verbose**: Debugging, understanding tool behavior
+- **Quiet**: Scripts, automation, piping output
+
+### 3. Binlog Location
+
+Place your terminal in the build output directory for auto-discovery:
+```bash
+cd path/to/bin/Debug
+binlogtool prompt analyze this build
+```
+
+### 4. Interactive Exploration
+
+Start interactive mode to ask follow-up questions:
+```bash
+binlogtool prompt -interactive
+> what failed
+> why did that target take so long
+> show me the compilation warnings
+```
+
+### 5. Combine with Other Tools
+
+Quiet mode makes it easy to integrate with other tools:
+```bash
+# Save analysis to file
+binlogtool prompt -quiet what failed > analysis.txt
+
+# Use in CI/CD
+if binlogtool prompt -quiet "did the build succeed" | grep -q "succeeded"; then
+  echo "Build OK"
+fi
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Cold start**: 3-5 seconds (loading binlog)
+- **Single-shot**: 2-10 seconds (simple query)
+- **Agent mode**: 15-60 seconds (comprehensive analysis)
+- **Interactive**: Instant response for follow-ups
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Slow Responses
+
+LLM responses depend on model, complexity, and API latency. Agent mode performs multiple tool calls for thorough analysis.
+
+**Solution**: Use single-shot mode for faster answers
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+If you see throttling messages:
+```
+[RETRY] ⚠️ Rate limited, retrying in 2s (attempt 1/3)
+```
+
+The tool automatically retries with exponential backoff.
+
+### Cancellation
+
+Press Ctrl+C to gracefully cancel:
+```
+Cancelling...
+[SYSTEM] Operation cancelled by user.
+```
+
+All resources are properly cleaned up.
+

+  -binlog:<path>              Path to binlog file(s), comma-separated
+                              If omitted, searches for *.binlog in current directory
+  --recurse                   Search subdirectories for binlog files
+  -llm-endpoint:<url>         LLM endpoint URL (overrides LLM_ENDPOINT env var)
+  -llm-model:<model>          LLM model name (overrides LLM_MODEL env var)
+  -llm-api-key:<key>          LLM API key (overrides LLM_API_KEY env var)
+  -mode:<agent|singleshot>    Execution mode (default: agent)
+  -interactive                Enter interactive REPL mode
+  -verbose                    Show detailed progress and tool results
+  -quiet                      Show only final output and errors
+  -help                       Show this help message
+
+Environment Variables:
+  LLM_ENDPOINT                LLM service endpoint URL
+  LLM_MODEL                   Model name (e.g., claude-sonnet-4-5-2, gpt-4)
+  LLM_API_KEY                 API key for authentication
+
+Examples:
+  binlogtool prompt why is this build slow
+  binlogtool prompt -mode:singleshot count the projects
+  binlogtool prompt -binlog:custom.binlog what errors occurred
+  binlogtool prompt -interactive
+  binlogtool prompt -verbose -llm-api-key:abc analyze the build
+
+Notes:
+  - All options must come before the prompt text
+  - Prompt text can contain spaces and special characters
+  - Agent mode breaks down complex queries into research tasks
+  - SingleShot mode gives direct answers without planning

+
+BASIC SEARCH:
+  - Multiple words: space = AND operator (e.g., 'csc error' finds nodes with both terms)
+  - Exact phrase: Use double quotes (e.g., '""Copying file""' for exact match)
+  - Single word in quotes: Exact match, no substring (e.g., '""Build""' matches 'Build' but not 'PreBuild')
+
+NODE TYPE FILTERS:
+  - $project: Search for projects (e.g., '$project MyApp')
+  - $target: Search for targets (e.g., '$target Build')
+  - $task: Search for tasks (e.g., '$task Csc' or '$csc' shorthand)
+  - $error: Search for errors
+  - $warning: Search for warnings
+  - $message: Search for messages
+  - $property: Search for properties
+  - $item: Search for items
+  - $metadata: Search for metadata
+  - $copy: Search for file copy operations (e.g., '$copy MyFile.dll')
+  - $nuget: Search NuGet packages (e.g., '$nuget Newtonsoft')
+
+HIERARCHY FILTERS:
+  - under(FILTER): Include only results under nodes matching FILTER (e.g., 'error under($project MyApp)')
+  - notunder(FILTER): Exclude results under nodes matching FILTER
+  - project(NAME): Filter by parent project (e.g., 'Csc project(MyApp.csproj)')
+  - not(FILTER): Exclude results matching FILTER
+
+PROPERTY/ITEM FILTERS:
+  - name=VALUE: Match by name (e.g., '$property name=Configuration')
+  - value=VALUE: Match by value (e.g., '$property value=Debug')
+  - skipped=true/false: Filter targets by skipped status (e.g., '$target skipped=false')
+
+TIME-BASED FILTERS:
+  - start<""TIMESTAMP"": Events starting before timestamp
+  - start>""TIMESTAMP"": Events starting after timestamp
+  - end<""TIMESTAMP"": Events ending before timestamp
+  - end>""TIMESTAMP"": Events ending after timestamp
+  - Example: '$task start>""2023-11-23 14:30:00"" end<""2023-11-23 14:35:00""'
+
+DURATION/TIME DISPLAY:
+  - $time or $duration: Include duration in results, sort by duration descending
+  - $start: Include start time in results
+  - $end: Include end time in results
+
+EXAMPLES:
+  - 'error': Find all errors
+  - '$project MyApp': Find project named MyApp
+  - 'Csc $time': Find Csc task invocations with durations
+  - '$error under($project Core)': Find errors in Core project
+  - '$target skipped=false $duration': Find executed targets sorted by duration
+  - 'Copying file project(MyApp.csproj)': Find file copies in MyApp project
+  - '$copy bin\\Debug': Find all files copied to bin\Debug
+  - '$task start>""2023-11-23 14:30:00""': Find tasks starting after specific time

+        [Description(@"Lists build events from the binlog with detailed filtering and pagination.
+
+This tool provides access to the chronological sequence of build events (projects, targets, 
+tasks, errors, warnings, messages) with rich filtering capabilities.
+
+KEY CONCEPTS:
+- Events are chronologically ordered by start time (unless sorted differently)
+- Each event includes timestamp, duration (for timed events), and context (parent project/target)
+- Large builds may have thousands of events - use filters to narrow results
+
+EVENT TYPES:
+- Project: MSBuild project execution
+- Target: Target execution within a project
+- Task: Individual task (Csc, Copy, etc.) execution
+- Error: Build errors with code, file, line number
+- Warning: Build warnings with code, file, line number
+- Message: Build messages and output
+
+FILTERING OPTIONS:
+
+Time-based filters:
+  - startAfter/startBefore: Filter by event start time (format: 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss' or 'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss')
+  - endAfter/endBefore: Filter by event end time
+  - minDuration/maxDuration: Filter by event duration (format: 'HH:mm:ss' or seconds as number)
+
+Context-based filters:
+  - projectName: Filter by project name (partial match, case-insensitive)
+  - projectPath: Filter by exact project file path
+  - targetName: Filter by target name (partial match)
+  - taskName: Filter by task name (e.g., 'Csc', 'Copy')
+
+Content-based filters:
+  - searchText: Search in event text and properties (case-insensitive)
+  - errorCode/warningCode: Filter diagnostics by code (e.g., 'CS0103', 'MSB3644')
+
+Status filters:
+  - succeeded: true for succeeded only, false for failed only, null for all
+  - includeSkipped: Include skipped targets (default: true)
+  - includeLowRelevance: Include low-relevance messages (default: false)
+
+Pagination and sorting:
+  - maxResults: Limit number of results (default 50, recommended max 200)
+  - skip: Skip first N results for pagination
+  - sortBy: 'startTime' (default), 'duration', 'name'
+  - descending: true for descending order (default: false)
+
+USAGE EXAMPLES:
+
+1. Find long-running tasks:
+   eventTypes: ['Task'], minDuration: '00:00:05', sortBy: 'duration', descending: true
+
+2. Errors in specific time range:
+   eventTypes: ['Error'], startAfter: '2024-01-02 10:30:00', projectName: 'MyApp'
+
+3. All compiler invocations:
+   eventTypes: ['Task'], taskName: 'Csc'
+
+4. Target and its tasks:
+   eventTypes: ['Target', 'Task'], targetName: 'CoreCompile', projectName: 'MyApp'
+
+5. Build timeline overview:
+   eventTypes: ['Project', 'Target'], sortBy: 'startTime'
+
+TIPS:
+- Start with broader filters and narrow down based on results
+- Use time filters when investigating specific build phases
+- Combine event types for related analysis (e.g., Target + Task)
+- Use pagination (skip/maxResults) for large result sets
+- Sort by duration to find performance bottlenecks

+- Use SPARINGLY and only when absolutely necessary
+- Try to infer reasonable defaults before asking
+- Provide sensible default options when possible
+- Combine multiple related questions into one if feasible
+- Avoid asking for information that can be determined from the build data
+
+WHEN TO USE:
+- Truly ambiguous requirements (e.g., user says 'analyze the issue' but multiple distinct issues exist)
+- User provides unclear references (e.g., 'that project' when multiple projects match)
+- Conflicting or contradictory instructions
+- Missing critical information that cannot be inferred
+
+WHEN NOT TO USE:
+- Information available in the build log
+- Standard interpretations (e.g., 'build time' means total duration)
+- Common defaults (e.g., 'errors' means all errors unless specified)
+
+EXAMPLES OF GOOD USE:
+- User asks about 'the slow project' but 5 projects have similar durations
+- User says 'fix the configuration' but multiple configuration issues exist
+- User requests analysis of 'the problematic target' when several targets failed
+
+EXAMPLES OF BAD USE:
+- Asking which project when user clearly stated the name
+- Asking about format preferences for standard output

+Multi-Binlog Support:
+  Multiple binlog files can be loaded for comparative analysis.
+  Use -binlog: multiple times or wildcards to load multiple files.
+  All builds are queryable via tools using the buildId parameter.
+  The first loaded build is the default (PRIMARY) build.

+Interactive Mode Commands:
+  .builds          - List all loaded builds
+  .primary <id>    - Set primary build
+  .add <path>      - Add another binlog file
+  .remove <id>     - Remove a build
