Structure for Success

Breaking apart instructions from content dramatically improves Omnifact’s understanding and response quality.

​
Why Separation Matters

Always separate your instructions from the content being processed. When you mix instructions with content, Omnifact can get confused about what you’re asking it to do versus what you want it to work with. Think of it like giving someone a task: first tell them what to do, then give them the material to work with.

​
The Basic Structure

Use this reliable pattern for better results: 
INSTRUCTION: [What you want done]

DATA/CONTENT: [What to process]
Example: 
INSTRUCTION: Summarize the key challenges and proposed solutions from this meeting transcript.

DATA: [paste meeting transcript here]

​
Using Delimiters to Create Clear Boundaries

Delimiters are visual separators that help Omnifact understand where instructions end and content begins. They can be used to separate instructions from content, or to separate different sections of content. 
Analyze the customer feedback for recurring themes and suggestions.

Advanced Separation Techniques

​
Multiple Content Sections

When working with multiple pieces of content, label each section clearly: 
Compare these two proposals and recommend which approach to take.

PROPOSAL A:
[First proposal content]

PROPOSAL B:  
[Second proposal content]

​
Instruction Layers

For complex tasks, separate different types of instructions: 
TASK: Create a summary report

FORMAT: Executive summary with bullet points

FOCUS: Highlight financial impact and timeline

CONTENT:

Common Separation Mistakes

If you’re ever unsure whether your prompt is clear enough, try reading just the instruction part first. Can you understand exactly what needs to be done? If yes, you’ve got good separation!
