Output Format

Definitions

1. The required structure or presentation style of an AI system's output, such as plain text, markdown, JSON, XML, or a fixed template. Output format matters because downstream systems often depend on predictable structure.

   In plain English: The structure or presentation style required for the AI's output.

   Example: "They tightened the prompt and parser together so the output format remained valid JSON even when the answer included uncertainty notes."
