Answer format

The shape of answer you find easiest to work with.

This is a two-poled spectrum — neither end is better. It describes how you'd like an AI to work with you, never who you are. Here are the two poles:

A few good sentences

You'd rather get answers as a few well-written sentences than as bullet lists.

You likely lean this way if: you ask for it as a few flowing sentences, or rewrite a bulleted answer into paragraphs.

Bullet points

You'd rather get answers as bullet points you can scan than as paragraphs.

You likely lean this way if: you ask for bullets, or break a prose answer into a list.

Where they meet: Lead with the shape one prefers, then offer the other as a quick fallback.

How Hunchful asks about it

Do you prefer answers as a few good sentences, or as bullet points you can scan?

Put it in a model your AI can read

In a Cognitive Model Protocol model, your position on this axis becomes a revisable hunch — with a confidence, an uncertainty, and a falsifier — that any AI can read and adapt to. Nothing is a fixed label.
