Input Curation: De-duplicate, Label, and Prune

Organize and curate information and select appropriate output formats (artifacts, inline, structured data)

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
Input curation applies three input-side techniques to produce cleaner, more organized output: de-duplicating removes near-identical copies so Claude is not reconciling redundant versions; labeling states each input role explicitly, such as marking one document the approved policy and another a draft; and pruning removes material irrelevant to the question. Organized, well-labeled, minimal inputs produce a more organized output than a large undifferentiated pile.
