VerifiedPrompt and Context Engineering

A Claude application produces outputs that progressively drift from the expected JSON format after several conversation turns. The initial few turns generate correctly formatted output, but later turns gradually lose structure. How would you address this drift?

Explanation

Format drift in a multi-turn application is addressed by examining how accumulated conversation context affects instruction adherence, managing that context, and validating outputs against the required JSON structure. Explicit output-format constraints and structured prompting help maintain consistent formatting, while validation detects outputs that fail the required schema.
