Constraining LLM Output with a Direct Command
A direct, imperative command is a technique used in prompting to strictly limit a Large Language Model's output to a predefined set of options. For instance, the instruction 'Just answer: positive, negative, or neutral' forces the model to choose its response from only those three words, ensuring the output is structured and easily parsable for classification tasks.

A developer is building an automated system to sort customer support tickets. The system requires a language model to categorize each ticket's sentiment so it can be routed correctly. For the system to work, the model's output must be exactly one of the following words: 'Positive', 'Negative', or 'Neutral'. Which prompt most effectively uses a direct, imperative command to achieve this specific, constrained output?
