Output Formatting Secrets

Schema enforcement, prefilling, XML tags — the production tricks vendors don't teach.

WHAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO

• Specify formats the model actually obeys 99% of the time (vs. 70% naive)
• Use prefilling + delimiter tricks to kill markdown wrappers and hallucinated preambles
• Pick JSON vs. XML vs. plain markdown based on the consumer of the output
• Add null-honesty + enum constraints + first-character prefilling to any schema
• Walk away with a 6-node schema-first canvas template you can drop on any structured-output task
