+ I know it's a bit verbose and annoying, but after much trial and error, using these explicit delimiters helps the model understand where to find the responses and how to associate specific sources with it.

+ - `BEGININPUT` - denotes a new input block
73
+ - `BEGINCONTEXT` - denotes the block of context (metadata key/value pairs) to associate with the current input block
74
+ - `ENDCONTEXT` - denotes the end of the metadata block for the current input
75
+ - [text] - Insert whatever text you want for the input block, as many paragraphs as can fit in the context.
76
+ - `ENDINPUT` - denotes the end of the current input block
77
+ - [repeat as many input blocks in this format as you want]
78
+ - `BEGININSTRUCTION` - denotes the start of the list (or one) instruction(s) to respond to for all of the input blocks above.
79
+ - [instruction(s)]
80
+ - `ENDINSTRUCTION` - denotes the end of instruction set

82
+ It sometimes works without `ENDINSTRUCTION`, but by explicitly including that in the prompt, the model better understands that all of the instructions in the block should be responded to.
