Problem

Scenario

You are building a workflow where a language model returns structured fields that downstream code must parse without manual cleanup. The model may answer in free text, add extra commentary, or omit required keys when the prompt is vague or the input is messy.

Question

How do you handle prompt engineering and parsing outputs reliably?
