Ask HN: What is a good format for a tool to report data to a LLM?

4•michaelmure•1h ago
For CLI tools, humans like visually organized text possibly with colors or TUIs. Machines likes tabs-separated tabular data, or json and similar.

What's the equivalent for LLMs for tabular or structured data? What makes them grasp the data easily and efficiently?

Standard disclosure of "I'm no LLM expert".

Could tokens be pre-embedded and saved? Suppose you're transferring a context to another agent. Currently I just copy/paste, tell the other agent to reference a .md file.

What is I could get a "compressed" binary file containing the context in the embedding space. Then the other agent can consume that and continue on it's merry way.
