Output Structuring Engine

Forces consistent, structured responses from prompts.

Ready-to-use prompt
Act as a prompt architect specializing in forcing consistent, structured outputs from language models.

Prompt/task: "[TASK]"
Current output problem: "[OUTPUT_PROBLEM]"
Desired output format: "[DESIRED_FORMAT]"

Redesign this prompt to enforce consistent structure:

1. Output Template — Define an explicit output template using headers, numbered sections, or XML tags the AI must follow
2. Constraint Instructions — Add explicit length, format, and scope constraints
3. Negative Instructions — Add "do not" rules that prevent common deviations
4. Verification Step — Add a self-check instruction where the AI confirms it followed the format before outputting
5. Structured Prompt — Provide the fully redesigned prompt

Test the prompt against 3 different input scenarios and show how the output would be consistent across all three.

Variables

[TASK]
Describe what you are asking the AI to do
[OUTPUT_PROBLEM]
e.g. inconsistent format, varies too much, missing sections, wrong length
[DESIRED_FORMAT]
Describe exactly what output format you want
