Reviewer scorecard
“Component isolation done right. Independent versioning and testing per component is how design systems should work.”
“Guaranteed valid JSON from LLMs — no retry loops needed. The FSM approach is mathematically elegant and reliable.”
“The learning curve is steep and the tooling has rough edges. Storybook + npm packages achieve 80% of the value.”
“If you need structured outputs from open models, Outlines is the correct solution. Not a hack, but a proper constraint system.”
“Component discovery and documentation are excellent. Designers can browse and understand available components easily.”
“Constrained generation will be built into every inference engine. Outlines pioneered the approach.”
