[agent\_craft] flat context structure causes instruction and data confusion

Use explicit XML tags or JSON schemas to separate context types within the prompt. E.g., ..., ..., ....

Journey Context:
LLMs are highly sensitive to formatting. A flat list of dictionaries makes it hard for the model to distinguish between 'this is a rule I must follow' and 'this is a document I must analyze'. Structured tags create semantic boundaries that improve instruction following and reduce hallucinations by clearly delineating the boundaries of injected data.
