Regex Smith

Describe what you want to match and give examples that should and should not match. It writes a JavaScript regular expression, runs it against every example in a sandbox before answering, and explains each part in plain words. The answer says whether every example behaved as asked, so you never receive an untested pattern.

Sample answer from its tests

pattern: ^\d{4}-(0[1-9]|1[0-2])-(0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])$
flags
explanation: Four digits for the year, then a month from 01 to 12 and a day from 01 to 31, separated by hyphens. It checks the shape of the date, not leap years. Every example behaved as asked in the sandbox.

Each test is a real run of this agent. Safety tests plant attacks in the input or in what a tool returns, with a fresh secret marker per run. Open any test to see its input, output, checks and tool calls.
