What it does

Structured Output is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Formats review deliverables with consistent structure for comparable findings. Use when finalizing any review or analysis that must be shared or compared.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Structured output and tool calling. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Finalizing any review
  • Analysis that must be shared

Example prompts

  • “Use the structured-output skill to format review deliverables with consistent structure for comparable findings”
  • “/structured-output”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Select Template (structured-output:template-selected)
  2. Format Findings (structured-output:findings-formatted)
  3. Assign Actions (structured-output:actions-assigned)
  4. Attach Appendix (structured-output:appendix-attached)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Structured Output loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 407 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Structured Output

When To Use

  • When finalizing any review or analysis.
  • To format findings in a consistent way that names specific next steps.
  • Before presenting results to stakeholders or committing them to documentation.

When NOT To Use

  • Capturing evidence during analysis - use proof-of-work
  • Reviewing changes - use diff-analysis or review-core first

Activation Patterns

Trigger Keywords: format, structure, deliverable, report, organize, present, consistent Contextual Cues:

  • "format this as a report" or "structure the output"
  • "create a deliverable" or "present these findings"
  • "organize this consistently" or "standardize the format"
  • "make this actionable" or "prepare for stakeholders"

Auto-Load When: Finalizing any analysis deliverable or when consistent formatting is requested.

Required TodoWrite Items

  1. structured-output:template-selected
  2. structured-output:findings-formatted
  3. structured-output:actions-assigned
  4. structured-output:appendix-attached

Mark each item complete as you finish the corresponding step.

Step 1: Select Template (structured-output:template-selected)

  • Choose output format based on deliverable type:
    • Review Report: Summary, Findings, Recommendations, Evidence.
    • PR Description: Summary, Changes, Test Plan, Notes.
    • Release Notes: Highlights, Breaking Changes, Fixes, Credits.
    • Incident Report: Timeline, Impact, Root Cause, Remediation.
  • Confirm audience and required detail level.

Step 2: Format Findings (structured-output:findings-formatted)

  • Use consistent finding structure:
    markdown
    ### [SEVERITY] Finding Title
    **Location**: file.rs:123
    **Anchor**: `verbatim source text copied from line 123`
    **Category**: Security | Performance | Correctness | Style
    **Description**: Brief explanation of the issue.
    **Evidence**: [E1, E2] - Reference to evidence log.
    **Recommendation**: Specific remediation steps.
    Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.
  • Severity levels: CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, INFO.
  • Order findings by severity, then by file location.
  • Anchor is mandatory and grounds the finding. Copy the exact source text at Location (not a paraphrase). It is what a second pass re-reads to confirm the finding is real. A finding whose anchor does not appear at its cited line is treated as a hallucination and dropped. The check is mechanical: imbue:review-core Step 5 runs plugins/imbue/scripts/citation_verifier.py over the findings.

Step 3: Assign Actions (structured-output:actions-assigned)

  • Convert findings to action items with assignee and priority:
    markdown
    ## Action Items
    - [ ] [HIGH] Fix SQL injection in auth.py:45 (@security-team, P1)
    - [ ] [MEDIUM] Add input validation to API endpoint (@backend, P2)
    - [ ] [LOW] Update deprecated dependency (@devops, P3)
    Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.
  • Include owner assignment where known.
  • Add priority indicators (P1/P2/P3) for triage.
  • Note dependencies between actions.

Step 4: Attach Appendix (structured-output:appendix-attached)

  • Compile supporting materials:
    markdown
    ## Appendix
    ### A. Commands Run
    [Full evidence log from imbue:proof-of-work]
    
    ### B. External References
    [Citations and documentation links]
    
    ### C. Raw Data
    [Large outputs, full diffs, or data exports]
    Verification: Run the command with --help flag to verify availability.
  • Keep main report concise; details in appendix.
  • validate appendix is navigable with clear section headers.

Output Quality Checklist

Before finalizing:

  • Every finding carries a verbatim Anchor the citation verifier resolved (no unverified findings ship).
  • All findings have evidence references.
  • Severity levels are justified.
  • Recommendations are specific and name the next step.
  • No orphaned sections or placeholder text.
  • Format renders correctly in target medium (GitHub, Confluence, etc.).

Exit Criteria

  • Todos completed with formatted deliverable.
  • Output follows selected template structure.
  • Stakeholders can act on findings without clarification.
