## Discussion

Discussion The bounds are inclusive. A maximumCount generation guide may be used when you want to ensure the model produces a number of array elements less than or equal to to some maximum value, such as the number of items in a game’s shop. @Generable struct Shop {     @Guide(description: "A creative name for a shop in a fantasy RPG")     var name: String

@Guide(description: "A list of items for sale", .maximumCount(10))     var inventory: [ShopItem] }
