vLLM reasoning-parser operator + developer reference. `--reasoning-parser` CLI wiring, `ReasoningParser` contract (non-streaming `extract_reasoning` + per-delta `extract_reasoning_streaming`), `is_reasoning_end` xgrammar gating, `--structured-outputs-config.enable_in_reasoning` bypass, 38 built-in parsers (v0.32.0) with per-model quirks, 15 production pitfalls, authoring custom parsers via `@ReasoningParserManager.register_module` or plugin.

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

# vLLM reasoning parsers

Target: operators wiring up `--reasoning-parser NAME` on a chat-completion endpoint, or developers authoring a parser for a new thinking model. Source of truth: `vllm/reasoning/` on `main`.

## What a reasoning parser actually does

When a reasoning-trained model emits a single token stream like

```
<think>user asked X, let me check Y...</think>The answer is 42.
```

vLLM splits this into two fields on the chat-completion response: `reasoning` (the CoT) and `content` (the final answer). `--reasoning-parser NAME` selects the class that does the split. Without it, the whole stream lands in `content`.

> **Field-name note.** The response field is `reasoning` (`ChatMessage.reasoning` in `vllm/entrypoints/openai/chat_completion/protocol.py`, `DeltaMessage.reasoning` in `vllm/entrypoints/generate/base/protocol.py`). `reasoning_content` was **removed from the output in v0.16.0** ([#33402](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/33402), merge `c5113f60`), and v0.28.0 documents the result as a breaking client change ([#50624](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/50624)). Many third-party docs and clients still call it `reasoning_content`. **The asymmetry…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add air-gapped/skills/vllm-reasoning-parsers@sha256:6531b3102bb0921e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.76fe4c5, 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.
