# FLAN Instruction Prompt Formatter
Use this skill after mixture construction to format examples for instruction finetuning or held-out evaluation.
## Inputs
- Examples with `instruction`, `input`, `answer`, and optional `rationale`.
- Mode `direct`, `few_shot`, or `cot`.
## Outputs
- Prompt/completion records and metadata.
## Workflow
1. Build prompts from instruction and input fields.
2. Put target answers only in completions for query examples.
3. Put rationale plus final answer in CoT completions.
4. Record metadata for mechanism checks.
## Validation
Run `python tests/test_prompt_formatter.py`.
## Limitations
Uses compact deterministic templates rather than every original FLAN template.
