guidance — Programmatic LLM Output Control

Package-level reference for the guidance library on PyPI — install, LLM-provider extras, versioning, and alternatives like instructor and outlines.

DSPy — Programmatic Prompting and Optimisation

Build LLM programs in DSPy with declarative signatures, modules, and optimisers. Covers Predict, ChainOfThought, ReAct, BootstrapFewShot, COPRO, MIPRO, MIPROv2, and inference compilation.

Chain-of-Thought Prompting

CoT prompting techniques — zero-shot CoT, few-shot CoT, self-consistency, tree of thoughts, and how reasoning models compare with prompted reasoning.

LLM Evaluations

Build production evaluation pipelines for LLM applications — golden datasets, LLM-as-judge, rubrics, statistical significance, regression detection, and evals vs tests.

Structured Output

Techniques for reliable structured generation — JSON mode, schema-constrained decoding, function/tool calls as output, and validator pairing with Pydantic or Zod.
