arXiv:2605.29076v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLMs have advanced text classification, yet existing paradigms face a trade-off: supervised (label only) fine-tuning is scalable but offers limited reasoning on complex text and lacks broader model transparency, while discrete prompt optimization offers human-readable instructions but struggles with performance and scalability. We introduce eXTC (eXplainable Text Classifier) with three progressive stages: (1) learning a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP, or rulebook) in natural language via a new Structured Prompt Optimization algorithm; (2) SO
