outlines
Generates guaranteed-valid structured output from LLMs with Outlines (dottxt.ai), constraining token sampling via finite state machines for JSON schemas, Pydantic models, regex, choice lists, and integer/float types, on Transformers, llama.cpp, vLLM, and limited OpenAI backends. Use when you need output that always parses as valid JSON or matches a regex. Use when extracting typed data into Pydantic models from a local model. Use when classifying text into a fixed set of categories. Use when running batch structured generation on vLLM or Transformers. Use when controlling token sampling at the grammar level. Not for API models needing automatic retries (use Instructor).

# Outlines: Structured Text Generation
## When to Use This Skill
Use Outlines when you need to:
- **Guarantee valid JSON/XML/code** structure during generation
- **Use Pydantic models** for type-safe outputs
- **Support local models** (Transformers, llama.cpp, vLLM)
- **Maximize inference speed** with zero-overhead structured generation
- **Generate against JSON schemas** automatically
- **Control token sampling** at the grammar level
## Installation
