agentsop-structured-output-picker
From the author
Decide where to enforce structured LM output (constrain at decode time with Outlines vs validate-and-retry with Instructor vs grammar with Guidance) and which failure stance to take (Assert/hard-fail vs Suggest/soft-retry). Use when an LM's output is parsed or typed by downstream code and you must pick one enforcement library plus its failure handling, when malformed output is burning tokens on retries, or when choosing between decode-time vs validation-time constraints for local vs API models.

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- agentsop-output-format-by-modelagentsope/SkillAlchemyPick an LM output format per (task x consumer x model) rather than by reflex: different formats carry different cognitive load (e.g. code-in-JSON makes the same model write worse code than plain-text+diff, while asking for prose when you need a typed object fails the other way). Use when designing or debugging an LM's output schema, choosing between plain text / diff / JSON / tool-call / grammar-constrained output, or when a model's quality drops after wrapping its output in a structured format.Writing★ 445
- agentsop-code-execution-decisionagentsope/SkillAlchemyDecision rubric for when an LM agent should write-and-run code (Program-of-Thought / code interpreter) versus reason in natural language: classify each step as deterministic- computable (emit + execute code, feed the result back) vs judgment (stay in prose). Use when designing or debugging an agent step that does arithmetic/parsing/data transforms, when prose reasoning hallucinates a computation (under-coding), or when a sandbox round- trip is wasted on a judgment task (over-coding). Search keywords: code interpreter, agent does math wrong, calculator hallucination, when to run code vs reason, program of thought, PoT, tool vs reasoning.Engineering★ 445
- agentsop-streaming-outputagentsope/SkillAlchemyEnhancement-overlay decision protocol for STREAMING the output of long-running LLM / agent runs from the *backend*, not just wiring a typing animation in the UI. Activates when a coder agent must stream final tokens to a chat client, surface intermediate agent steps (which tool, which node, partial reasoning), emit custom tool-progress events, choose a transport (SSE vs WebSocket), or decide what to do when the client disconnects mid-stream. The langchain / langgraph skills mention stream modes but stop at "you can stream"; this skill encodes *what to stream, over what transport, and how to fail safely*.Design★ 445

- agentsop-test-fix-loopagentsope/SkillAlchemyDecision protocol for wiring a verify-then-fix loop around a code-editing LLM agent. The agent edits → runs lint/test → reads the output → fixes → re-runs, bounded by an iteration cap and an escalation rule. Activates whenever a coder agent has a verifiable success criterion (exit code, type-checker output, failing assertion) and the user wants the agent to converge to "green" on its own. Framework-agnostic — wraps Aider's `--auto-lint`/`--auto-test`, an OpenHands SWE-Bench loop, a manual LangGraph cycle, or Claude Code's bash tool just the same.Testing★ 445
- loop-libraryalirezarezvani/claude-skillsDiscover, find, compare, audit, repair, adapt, and design repeatable AI-agent loops with explicit triggers, actions, verification, stopping conditions, guardrails, and handoffs. Use when a user asks to analyze a codebase for potential loops, mine coding-thread history for work done more than once, turn repeated engineering work into a loop, find or recommend a published loop, create a recurring agent workflow or automation cadence, turn an outcome into a bounded copy-ready loop, or review an existing loop for weak checks, unsafe authority, unbounded repetition, stale state, or unclear stopping behavior.Design★ 28.6K
