Output format covers the design decisions about how a model's response is structured — plain text, Markdown, JSON, XML, tables, or a specific schema. The choice between "give the answer as a JSON list" and "explain step by step" directly affects both quality and whether downstream systems can consume it. A large fraction of Prompt Engineering guidance is essentially advice to make output format unambiguous. Combined with JSON Mode and Structured Output, format becomes both intent and guarantee.
