+# Structured Outputs Advisor
+
+Expert advisor skill for choosing between JSON outputs and strict tool use modes in Anthropic's structured outputs feature.
+
+## Purpose
+
+This skill serves as the **entry point** for implementing structured outputs. It analyzes your requirements and recommends the right mode:
+
+- **JSON Outputs** (`output_format`) - For data extraction, classification, API formatting
+- **Strict Tool Use** (`strict: true`) - For agentic workflows, validated tool parameters
+
+Then delegates to specialized implementation skills.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Invoke this skill when you need:
+- Guaranteed JSON schema compliance
+- Validated tool input parameters
+- Structured data extraction
+- Type-safe API responses
+- Reliable agentic workflows
+
+## Quick Start
+
+**Trigger phrases:**
+- "implement structured outputs"
+- "need guaranteed JSON schema"
+- "extract structured data from..."
+- "build reliable agent with validated tools"
+
+The advisor will ask questions to understand your use case and recommend the appropriate mode.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Requirements gathering** - Understand what you're building
+2. **Mode selection** - JSON outputs vs strict tool use
+3. **Delegation** - Hand off to specialized skill for implementation
