@molecule/api-ai-classification-llm

Auto-generated, AI-first package reference for the molecule.dev ecosystem. It is written to be read by coding agents as much as by people, and is generated from this package's source — edit src/index.ts JSDoc, not this file.

LLM-backed zero-shot text classifier for molecule.dev — composes the swappable ai chat bond to score candidate labels.

Prompts the bonded LLM to score the candidate labels as strict JSON, then normalizes the result into a sorted, candidate-restricted ClassifyResult. Because it resolves the ai provider lazily at call time, swapping the AI provider automatically swaps the classifier's backing model.

Quick Start

import { bond } from '@molecule/api-bond'
import { provider as anthropic } from '@molecule/api-ai-anthropic'
import { provider as classification } from '@molecule/api-ai-classification-llm'
import { requireProvider } from '@molecule/api-ai-classification'

// Wire an AI provider + the classifier at startup.
bond('ai', anthropic)
bond('ai-classification', classification)

// Use it anywhere.
const result = await requireProvider().classify({
  text: 'Win a FREE $1000 gift card now!!!',
  labels: ['spam', 'ham'],
})
console.log(result.top) // 'spam'
console.log(result.labels) // [{ label: 'spam', score: 0.98 }, ...]

Installation

npm install @molecule/api-ai-classification-llm @molecule/api-ai @molecule/api-ai-classification @molecule/api-i18n

API

Constants

provider

LLM-backed AI classification provider (name: 'llm').

Zero-shot classifier composed over the swappable ai chat bond. Bond it via bond('ai-classification', provider) and it will resolve the bonded ai provider lazily at call time, so swapping the AI provider automatically swaps the classifier's backing model.

const provider: AIClassificationProvider

Core Interface

Implements @molecule/api-ai-classification interface.

Bond Wiring

Setup function to register this provider with the core interface:

import { setProvider } from '@molecule/api-ai-classification'
import { provider } from '@molecule/api-ai-classification-llm'

export function setupAiClassificationLlm(): void {
  setProvider(provider)
}

Injection Notes

Requirements

Peer dependencies:

• @molecule/api-ai ^1.0.1
• @molecule/api-ai-classification ^1.0.1
• @molecule/api-i18n ^1.0.1

Runtime Dependencies

• @molecule/api-ai

• @molecule/api-ai-classification

• @molecule/api-i18n

• Requires a bonded ai provider. classify() resolves the AI provider from the bond registry at call time — bond one (bond('ai', anthropic)) before classifying, or pass provider: '<name>' to target a specific named AI provider. It throws if none is bonded.

• Swappable. Both the classifier (bond('ai-classification', ...)) and the underlying model (bond('ai', ...)) are swappable at runtime.

• Pass multiLabel: true when several labels can apply at once, and instructions to give the model label definitions or extra guidance.

• result.labels is restricted to the candidate set, sorted descending by score; missing labels default to 0 and out-of-range scores are clamped to 0..1. Unparseable model output THROWS (with an output snippet) rather than returning silent garbage. Fenced json blocks and surrounding prose are tolerated.

E2E Tests

Integration checklist — drive the real UI (live preview, no mocks), adapt each item to this app's actual screens/flows, and check every box off one by one. A box you can't check is an integration bug to fix — not a skip:

• Each flow that classifies content (tagging, routing, moderation, triage — whatever the app defines) runs it from the real UI and the returned top is one of the app's candidate labels, never free text, with a score in 0..1. The sandbox has a live AI provider, so assert on the actual result — never mock the classifier or hardcode a label.
• Assert BOTH directions with clear samples: a clearly-on-topic example lands in its expected class AND a clearly-different example lands in a different class. A classifier that returns the same label for every input is broken — one positive check alone does not prove it works.
• Ambiguity is treated as uncertain, not force-fit: when the app gates on a minimum confidence, a genuinely-ambiguous input yields a low winning score and is routed to the app's "unsure"/unlabeled path rather than silently assigned the top label.
• The label actually DRIVES app behavior (routes/filters/tags/badges the item), not just renders as text — verify the downstream effect in the UI, not only that a label appeared on screen.
• Empty or ambiguous input is handled without a crash or a blank screen (a visible "couldn't classify"/unlabeled state, not an unhandled error).
• The classify call runs SERVER-SIDE: it goes through the app's API and the AI provider key never reaches the browser — the Network tab shows no provider request or key issued from client code.
