# Structured Outputs & Type-Safe Extraction

## Overview
The `structured-outputs` skill provides a framework for ensuring that language models produce data in deterministic, valid, and type-safe formats. This is essential for building robust AI-driven systems where LLM outputs must be consumed by downstream services, databases, or UI components.

## When To Use
- When extracting structured data from unstructured text (e.g., invoices, logs, emails).
- When controlling tool call arguments to guarantee they meet internal API specifications.
- When you need to bridge the gap between non-deterministic LLM generation and deterministic software logic.
- Whenever you see developers relying on regex parsing of unstructured model text.

## Core Concepts
1. **Schema Definition**: Defining the expected structure using JSON Schema, Pydantic (Python), or Zod (TypeScript).
2. **Validation**: Enforcing schema constraints at generation time or post-generation.
