.md vs json vs xml
Hi everyone ๐Ÿ‘‹ The .md format is great for human readability but for LLM it is well known json or xml works better because they are more structured. Claude is trained on XML data. So my thoughts and questions for you is if we replace context, example and reference md files with .xml format, would the ICM perform better? I would leave CLAUDE.md since the name is embedded in the Claude itself. My guess is it would improve but itโ€™s been only a few days since I adopted the system and did not test yet. And if so, would that be meaningful improvement? I will update what I find out in the next weeks.

@Donald Roy I was thinking one way to handle this is to have an interpreter/translator between .XML and .md files. If using XML gives real performance gain, we can have a Python script or LLM layer that converts XML for humans to read and comment. Right now this is just an idea and I need to have a working ICM with .md first then test XML-based ICM for the same task to compare.
HTML OVER .md Files
A Claude code Eng just dropped this. Anyone been doing this switch yet or will try? Curious to see what @Jake Van Clief has to say. Itโ€™s a file still just a different format. Same thing rightโ€ฆ thoughts? Pros and cons? Here to learn and discover https://x.com/trq212/status/2052809885763747935?s=46&t=Ayzo8Ebbgb8PZhLNm057bg

HTML melts token allowance like crazy. .md is better for human readability. For LLM json and xml are actually better. Claude was trained on XML so I try to use XML more often than md.

Done
Who's here? Drop your intro.
Tell us three things: 1. What you do (job, industry, student, career-changer, whatever) 2. What brought you to Clief Notes 3. One thing you're trying to figure out right now related to computing or AI I'll respond to every single one. And read each other's intros too because the person who's stuck on the same problem as you might already be in this thread. I'll go first I am Jake, I have been working in tech for 15 Years, building with Generative AI for 3 Years straight now! Excited to teach and learn! That's it. Simple, scannable, gives you data on who's joining and what they need, and keeps the feed clear for content that retains people past week one.

Hi, I'm Moon, and I've worked for the pharmaceutical companies for the past 10 years. I saw a YouTube short that really resonated with me, which led me to here. I'm here to learn how to use the AI tools effectively.
