Claude XML Prompting Tips

  • Use XML tags to clearly structure different parts of your prompt (e.g., <instructions>, <context>, <example>).
  • Choose descriptive tag names (e.g., <document>, <user_query>, <persona>).
  • Be consistent with your tag names.
  • You can nest tags manually within the "Element Content" if needed. The CDATA section will preserve your structure.
  • Content within <![CDATA[...]]> is treated as raw text, preserving special characters like <, >, and &.
