Question

A developer is building a contract-review assistant. The prompt bundles together the reviewer instructions, the full text of a legal contract, and three reference clauses that Claude should compare against. In early tests, Claude sometimes treats sentences from the contract as if they were instructions, and occasionally confuses the reference clauses with the contract body. Which change to the prompt structure is most likely to fix these problems?

Accepted Answer

Wrap each part in clearly named XML tags (e.g., , , ) so Claude can distinguish the roles of each section.

Answer

Raise the temperature so Claude generates more varied interpretations of the contract text.

Answer

Move all of the content into the system prompt so it is processed with higher priority.

Answer

Set a stop sequence after the instructions so Claude cannot read past them into the contract.
