+    The ChatAdapter formats DSPy signatures into a format compatible with most language models.
+    It uses delimiter patterns like `[[ ## field_name ## ]]` to clearly separate input and output fields in

+
+    Key features:
+        - Structures inputs and outputs using field header markers for clear field delineation.
