Summarization

Specifying content type, length, and audience gives the model three clear constraints to shape the summary. Zero-shot works well here because summarization is a core LLM capability.

Sentiment Analysis

Requesting confidence and key phrases forces the model to justify its classification rather than guessing. The structured output format works zero-shot because sentiment analysis is well-understood by LLMs.

Key Information Extraction

Listing the exact fields to extract removes guesswork. The 'Not specified' instruction prevents hallucination when information is missing -- a common failure mode without this guardrail.

Question Answering with Source

Grounding the answer in source material and instructing the model to refuse when information is missing dramatically reduces hallucination -- the biggest risk in zero-shot Q&A.

Math Word Problem Reasoning

Explicit numbered steps force the model to decompose the problem rather than guessing. The verification step catches arithmetic errors before the final answer.
