Dynamic Instructions Based on Session State

This example demonstrates how to create dynamic instructions that change based on session state, allowing personalized agent behavior for different users.

Code

dynamic_instructions.py

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.run import RunContext

def get_instructions(run_context: RunContext):
    if not run_context.session_state:
        run_context.session_state = {}

    if run_context.session_state.get("current_user_id"):
        return f"Make the story about {run_context.session_state.get('current_user_id')}."

    return "Make the story about the user."


agent = Agent(instructions=get_instructions)
agent.print_response("Write a 2 sentence story", user_id="john.doe")
