Individual skill
instructor
Extracts structured, validated data from LLM responses using the Instructor Python library with Pydantic response models, including nested models, enums, custom validators, automatic retries with validation error feedback, and streaming of partial objects or iterables. Works with Anthropic, OpenAI, and local Ollama models. Use when pulling typed fields or entities out of free text, when classifying text into fixed categories, when an LLM must return JSON that passes schema validation, when failed extractions need automatic retry, or when streaming partial structured results. Not for prompt optimization (use DSPy) or building multi-step chains (use LangChain).

# Instructor: Structured LLM Outputs
## When to Use This Skill
Use Instructor when you need to:
- **Extract structured data** from LLM responses reliably
- **Validate outputs** against Pydantic schemas automatically
- **Retry failed extractions** with automatic error handling
- **Parse complex JSON** with type safety and validation
- **Stream partial results** for real-time processing
- **Support multiple LLM providers** with consistent API
## Installation
