Set expected output

Set expected output builder step

The expected output tells CLEA what to return.

This is where many workflows become weak. If the output is unclear, CLEA may return a long explanation instead of something useful.

Files and prompts

Write the output in the workflow file.

Be direct:

  • "Return a compact table."
  • "Send one suggestion card."
  • "Write one page brief."
  • "Create no card if the evidence is weak."
  • "List the missing data before making a recommendation."

Expected output

Different routines need different outputs.

RoutineBetter output
Weekly analytics reviewShort report and one next action
Source gap reviewTable of sources and one suggestion
Competitor reviewPrompt gap, source support, page idea
Sitemap reviewPage brief or internal-link task
Launch reviewBefore-and-after note
1

Pick output type

Choose report, card, table, brief, edit, or no action.

2

Set the size

Keep the result short enough to review.

3

Require evidence

Ask CLEA to show why the output exists.

4

Reject noise

Fix outputs that create too many tasks.

Review step

Check whether the output is easy to act on.

If the output is too long, ask for a table. If it is too short, ask for evidence. If it creates too many tasks, ask for one action only.
