LLM output reliability boosted with schema, validation, and retries

To ensure reliable output from large language models (LLMs) in production agents, a multi-layered approach is necessary beyond just refining prompts. The core issue is LLMs' inherent non-deterministic nature, which can lead to inconsistent output formats like JSON, causing downstream integration failures. A robust solution involves defining an explicit JSON schema in the system prompt, implementing structural validation of the LLM's output before processing, and employing a retry mechanism that feeds specific error context back into the prompt for correction.
