Text Generation and Controlled Output

Text generation is useful for drafting, rewriting, explanation, and synthesis. Specify audience, purpose, constraints, tone, and maximum length when these matter. Generation parameters such as temperature are provider/model-specific and should be tuned empirically; lower randomness does not guarantee truth.

Use model output as a draft or candidate when the task affects money, eligibility, compliance, or user access. For exact computations, call deterministic code. For claims about supplied documents, require grounding and inspectable sources.

Reusable generation function

async function draftReleaseNotes(generate, changes) {
  return generate({
    instructions: [
      "Write release notes for software users.",
      "Group changes into Added, Improved, and Fixed.",
      "Do not invent features absent from the input."
    ].join("\n"),
    input: JSON.stringify(changes)
  });
}

💡 The wrapper keeps the task contract reusable. The downstream application should still review or validate the result, particularly if release notes must exactly match shipped changes.

Do not use model generation for exact arithmetic.
Ground high-impact claims in evidence and review.
