Structuring Huge Prompts

A huge prompt without structure is a wall the model must scan linearly. Structure turns it into a navigable document: sections the model can locate, reference, and reason over selectively. At scale, organization is not cosmetic — it is the primary determinant of whether the model finds what it needs.

• Sectioning creates addressable units.
• Signposting tells the model where it is and where to look.

Use unambiguous, consistent delimiters to bound sections. They must not collide with content. XML-style tags are robust because they are explicit, nestable, and easy for the model to match open/close.

Pick one convention and apply it everywhere; mixed delimiters confuse boundary detection.
