Communication instructions shape how your agent delivers information. Clear formatting and tone guidelines ensure consistent, user-friendly responses.

Key Principles

• ✓Specify response length preferences (concise vs. detailed)
• ✓Include formatting instructions (use headers, bullet points, code blocks)
• ✓Set language and jargon expectations for the target audience
• ✓Define how to handle ambiguity (ask for clarification vs. assume)
