BAML (Boundary ML) expert for projects defining LLM calls as typed functions in .baml files with a generated Python client. Use whenever the repo contains baml_src/, baml_client/, baml-cli commands, or imports from baml_py / baml_client. Covers .baml syntax (function, class, enum, client, test, retry_policy, attributes), Python integration (baml_client sync/async, streaming, ClientRegistry, Collector, TypeBuilder), Schema-Aligned Parsing, ctx.output_format, @@assert / @@check tests…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# BAML expert

BAML = small DSL for typed LLM calls. Author `.baml` files in `baml_src/`, run `baml-cli generate`, get a typed Python package at `baml_client/`. The generated `b` object exposes each function as a typed method. BAML handles prompt rendering, HTTP, retries, fallbacks, streaming, and **Schema-Aligned Parsing (SAP)** — robust coercion of messy LLM output into typed objects.

Use this skill for any task touching `.baml` files, `baml_client`, or calls into it. Read the full repo layout first if unclear: the convention is `baml_src/*.baml` + generated `baml_client/` (gitignored; regenerated on every change).

## First: BAML v0 or BAML v1?

This skill covers **BAML v0**: the `baml-py` / `@boundaryml/baml` SDK (0.2xx) and its `baml-cli`. Upstream also ships **BAML v1**, a separate language and toolchain (`brew install baml`, `baml-language-0.NN` releases) whose syntax is incompatible. Decide from the repo, not the binary name — the v0 npm package also installs a `baml` command.

| Marker | Line |
|---|---|
| `generator` block in `baml_src/`, `baml_client/`, `client<llm>` blocks, `#"..."#` prompts, class fields without colons | v0 — this skill applies |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add air-gapped/skills/baml-expert@sha256:827fb8c3babbd816

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.db2bb25, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
