Description
Would you be open to supporting passing in an optional initial message to chat requests? For eg.
I would expect this to work but seems to crash after the first response:
~ $ echo "hello world" | llm chat
Chatting with claude-3-5-sonnet-latest
Type 'exit' or 'quit' to exit
Type '!multi' to enter multiple lines, then '!end' to finish
> Hi! How can I help you today?
> Aborted!
This is what I'd actually like to do: files-to-prompt lol.txt --cxml | llm chat

Research direction
Start at the llm chat command's stdin and interactive input handling, reproducing echo "hello world" | llm chat. Verify that an initial piped message is accepted without aborting the session, and that the files-to-prompt lol.txt --cxml | llm chat pipeline works as requested.
