Developer builds CI-safe harness for reliable structured LLM output

A developer has created an evaluation harness called `llm-contract` to ensure the reliability of structured LLM outputs within CI pipelines. This system enforces schema adherence for all LLM responses, providing feedback and retries for violations before flagging them for human review. The harness operates in a CI-safe manner by replaying recorded test cases, preventing live API calls during evaluation and ensuring that changes to prompts or models are rigorously tested. AI

IMPACT Enhances reliability of LLM integrations by ensuring structured output consistency.

    <p>Most teams evaluate LLMs by reading a few outputs and nodding. That works until it doesn't.</p> <p>I built <code>llm-contract</code> because I needed my own pipeline to be honest about whether a change actually made things better.</p> <p>The contract has three parts:</p> <ol> …
