Hate it all you want, but XML is genuinely a good fit there, and Claude is apparently insanely good at working with XML prompts.

I don’t know why, but I get this feeling whenever someone uses “insanely” or “shockingly” along with AI, I think they’re bot or are writing based on a guideline! No offense, btw, I’m not saying you’re a bot.

Is Claude good at working with XML prompts, or is XML good at convincing users to write more Claude-able specs? I am intensely skeptical that you could write an XML document describing a nontrivial web application in full detail, but I could easily imagine someone who thinks they have to stripping out important details because they don't really map to XML.
