What it does

Dspy Adapters Multimodal is an agent skill from OmidZamani/dspy-skills. Use for DSPy adapter selection, JSONAdapter, XMLAdapter, ChatAdapter, native function calling, structured outputs, and multimodal inputs like dspy.Image or dspy.Audio.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `example.py`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Structured output and tool calling. The repository describes itself as: Collection of Claude Skills for DSPy framework - program language models, optimize prompts, and build RAG pipelines systematically. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

DSPy adapter selection
Native function calling
Structured outputs
Multimodal inputs like dspy.Image

Example prompts

“/dspy-adapters-multimodal”

Requirements

Python 3
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Glob, Grep

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Start with ChatAdapter; switch only for a measured reason.
Use typed signatures for structured output.
Test adapter behavior against the exact production model.
Avoid deprecated Image.from_file() and Image.from_url() helpers; call dspy.Image(...).
Keep local file handling and uploaded file IDs within provider policy.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f5db3b7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Read
- Write
- Glob
- Grep
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- dspy.ai
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

Dspy Adapters Multimodal loads about 864 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~864

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.

DSPy Adapters and Multimodal I/O

Goal

Choose an adapter deliberately and model image, audio, and file inputs with DSPy's typed primitives.

Adapter Selection

Adapter	Use it for
`dspy.ChatAdapter()`	Default, human-readable field markers, broad model compatibility
`dspy.JSONAdapter()`	Structured JSON output and native function calling where supported
`dspy.XMLAdapter()`	XML-tagged fields when XML is easier for the target LM to follow
`dspy.TwoStepAdapter()`	A separate extraction pass when parsing needs extra help

Configure globally or for a limited scope:

python

import dspy

dspy.configure(
    lm=dspy.LM("openai/gpt-4o-mini"),
    adapter=dspy.JSONAdapter(),
)

with dspy.context(adapter=dspy.XMLAdapter()):
    result = dspy.Predict("question -> answer")(question="What is DSPy?")

Native Function Calling

JSONAdapter enables native function calling by default. ChatAdapter keeps text parsing by default. Override either behavior explicitly:

python

chat_native = dspy.ChatAdapter(use_native_function_calling=True)
json_manual = dspy.JSONAdapter(use_native_function_calling=False)

DSPy falls back to manual parsing when the configured LM does not support native function calling.

Image Inputs

python

class DescribeImage(dspy.Signature):
    image: dspy.Image = dspy.InputField()
    description: str = dspy.OutputField()

describe = dspy.Predict(DescribeImage)
result = describe(image=dspy.Image("./diagram.png"))

Pass a local path, HTTP URL, bytes, PIL image, or existing data URI directly to dspy.Image(...).

Audio and File Inputs

python

class SummarizeAudio(dspy.Signature):
    audio: dspy.Audio = dspy.InputField()
    summary: str = dspy.OutputField()

audio = dspy.Audio.from_file("./meeting.wav")
summary = dspy.Predict(SummarizeAudio)(audio=audio)

python

class SummarizeFile(dspy.Signature):
    file: dspy.File = dspy.InputField()
    summary: str = dspy.OutputField()

document = dspy.File.from_path("./research.pdf")
summary = dspy.Predict(SummarizeFile)(file=document)

Provider capabilities vary. Verify that the selected model accepts the media type before deployment.

Best Practices

Start with ChatAdapter; switch only for a measured reason.
Use typed signatures for structured output.
Test adapter behavior against the exact production model.
Avoid deprecated Image.from_file() and Image.from_url() helpers; call dspy.Image(...).
Keep local file handling and uploaded file IDs within provider policy.
