Feed validation errors back into LLM retries for better structured output

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer shares a technique to improve LLM structured output: when validation fails, include the error message and the model's bad output in the next prompt. This turns a blind retry into a targeted fix, boosting success rates without extra cost. The approach is demonstrated with a Python loop that appends error context to the message list.

The method is simple and practical, but its effectiveness depends on the model's ability to follow correction instructions, which may vary.
