  "field_name": "description and type",
  "required_fields": ["list"],
  "optional_fields": ["list"]
}
```

**2. Format Instructions**

- "Always use exactly this structure:"
- "Each section must contain:"
- "Format values as:"

**3. Example Template**
Provide a filled-in example:
```
[Complete example showing exact format]
```

**4. Validation Rules**
Specify what makes output valid:
- Required fields present
- Correct data types
- Proper nesting/structure
- No extra commentary

**5. Error Handling**
What to do when data is unavailable:
- Use null values
- Use "N/A"
- Omit field entirely
- Use placeholder text

1. Complete format specification to add to your prompt
2. Example of compliant output
