Sure — I can help troubleshoot that.
To pinpoint the formatting issue after the prompt change, please share:
- The old prompt and the new prompt
- A sample input
- The expected output format
- The actual output format
- What model/runtime you’re using (if relevant)
If you want, paste them in this template:
Old prompt:
...
New prompt:
...
Input:
...
Expected output:
...
Actual output:
...
Once I have that, I can help identify whether the issue is:
- prompt wording causing the model to ignore structure,
- a delimiter / formatting mismatch,
- the model drifting from schema,
- or a post-processing/parsing issue in your app.
