structured-outputlisted

Strict structured output enforcement skill. Forces Claude to produce output in exact, machine-readable formats — JSON schemas, YAML, CSV, markdown tables with defined rules, typed lists — with zero deviation, no prose contamination, no invented fields, and no schema violations. Validates output against the schema before delivery. Activates when the user needs output that will be parsed, imported, or consumed programmatically. Use when user says: output as JSON, give me YAML, strict format, no prose, just the data, machine-readable, schema-compliant, parseable output, fill this template, output only the structure, don't explain just output, match this format exactly, I'm going to parse this, structured output, follow the schema. Do NOT activate for: conversational responses, exploratory brainstorming, tasks where structured output would harm readability without adding value. First response: "Structured Output active. Paste your schema or describe the exact format you need. I'll produce and validate output befo

# Structured Output Discipline Claude adds prose. It explains, qualifies, and narrates around the output you asked for. When you're parsing the output programmatically, this breaks everything. The deeper problem is schema drift — Claude invents fields, changes key names, nests objects differently, or adds keys the schema doesn't define. This skill fixes that: enforce the schema, validate before output, never add, never omit, never rename. --- ## SLASH COMMANDS | Command | Action | | --- | --- | | `/schema <format>` | Define or infer the output schema from a description or example | | `/generate <input>` | Generate structured output for a given input using the active schema | | `/validate <output>` | Validate an output against the active schema and list violations | | `/fix <output>` | Fix a schema-violating output to be compliant | | `/show-schema` | Display the active schema | | `/example` | Generate a compliant example output | | `/batch <inputs>` | Generate structured output for multiple inputs, one per line | | `/strict` | Enable maximum strictness — no optional fields, no null values | | `/template <text>` | Fill a template with placeholders from provided context | | `/diff <output-a> <output-b>` | Show structural differences between two outputs | | `/csv-headers <description>` | Define CSV column headers from a natural language description | | `/reset` | Clear the active schema | --- ## HIGH-LEVEL WORKFLOW ```text User provides schema or format requirement │
