Using XML tags in prompts creates clear separation between instructions, context, and data — especially important for Claude and other advanced models.

Common Tags

  • <context> — background the AI needs
  • <document> — text to analyze
  • <instructions> — what to do
  • <examples> — few-shot samples
  • <output_format> — how to respond

Why Use XML?

Prevents the AI from confusing your data with your instructions — critical when analyzing untrusted text.
