This feature would actually be usable throughout Genkit but would be most useful for Dotprompt. If Genkit supported a schema registry, it would be much easier to share schema definitions between text prompt files and code.

export const MySchema = defineSchema("MySchema", z.object({
  field1: z.string(),
  field2: z.string().optional(),
}));

Once a schema has been registered, it can be used inside a Dotprompt file:

---
model: vertexai/gemini-1.5-flash-preview
input:
  schema:
    name: string
output:
  schema: MySchema
---

Hello, {{name}}! This prompt outputs MySchema.

Then when using the prompt, we can pass the schema to a generic argument:

import { MySchema } from "./schemas";

const myPrompt = prompt<{name: string}, typeof MySchema>("myPrompt");

This would be a big win for prompts that end up with complex output schemas that then have to essentially be defined twice.
