Practical Tip
1. Identify conversational filler and generic transitions in your current LLM outputs. 2. Create an explicit list of banned phrases, such as meta-intros like 'Sure! Here is...' or generic transitions. 3. Incorporate these negative constraints directly into your prompt templates to restrict the model's output behavior.
