.md vs json vs xml

Hi everyone 👋

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 it’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.
