Smaller LLMs sometimes prepend "Here is the cleaned transcript text:" to their response instead of returning only the cleaned text. This adds an explicit example to the system prompt showing the expected input/output format, which helps prevent this behavior.

Summary
So NEVER output words like "Here is the cleaned transcript text:"to the output rulesContext
I've been using FreeFlow for a few weeks and recently noticed the transcription cleaning model sometimes prepends phrases like "Here is the cleaned transcript text:" to its output. Adding an explicit example to the system prompt should help prevent this, especially with smaller LLMs.
