SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

LLM chat responses need deterministic, type-safe payloads but providers expose different knobs, so this skill forces chat() to emit validated JSON objects without dealing with provider-specific response formats.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Provider-agnostic schema handling: the adapter translates outputSchema declarations into each provider's response format, keeping structured output configuration centralized.
  • Multi-library schema support: Zod, ArkType, and Valibot schemas work out of the box, with convertSchemaToJsonSchema() available for manual conversions when needed.
  • Use case: extract person or company data from conversation transcripts and immediately consume the typed result for reporting or downstream logic.

Quick Start

Ask the ai-core/structured-outputs skill to parse a chat message with a Zod schema and return the validated object.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get typed JSON from LLM chat responses using Zod schemas?

To get typed JSON from LLM chat responses, this skill applies Zod schemas to chat sessions, converting outputs into strongly typed JSON objects via schema validation. It translates outputSchema declarations into provider-specific response formats automatically.

Can I use ArkType or Valibot schemas for structured LLM output validation?

Yes, structured LLM output validation supports ArkType and Valibot schemas alongside Zod. The adapter translates these schemas into each provider's response format, ensuring typed inference without manual provider-specific settings.

How does provider-agnostic schema handling work for LLM chat structured outputs?

Provider-agnostic schema handling for LLM structured outputs works by translating outputSchema declarations into each provider's response format. This centralizes configuration, forcing chat sessions to emit validated JSON objects without provider-specific setup.

What is the best way to extract structured company data from conversation transcripts?

The best way to extract structured company data from transcripts is using schema enforcement during chat LLM calls. This skill parses conversation transcripts with schemas and returns validated, typed JSON objects for immediate downstream logic.

Do I need to manually configure response formats for different LLM providers?

No, you do not need to manually configure response formats for different LLM providers. The adapter handles provider-specific response format translation automatically based on your declared outputSchema, keeping structured output configuration centralized.

How do I convert schema definitions to JSON schema for LLM chat outputs?

To convert schema definitions to JSON schema for LLM chat outputs, use the provided convertSchemaToJsonSchema() utility. This allows manual schema conversions when multi-library support via Zod, ArkType, or Valibot requires explicit JSON schema formatting.
