Agent Instructions (aka System Prompt)

any-agent allows you to specify the instruction for the agent (often also referred to as a "system_prompt").

Warning

Some frameworks use complex default instructions for specific agent implementations. Completely replacing those instructions might result in unexpected behavior.

In those cases, you might want to instead copy-paste and extend the default instructions. For example, check the CodeAgent default instructions in smolagents.

from agents.extensions.handoff_prompt import RECOMMENDED_PROMPT_PREFIX
from any_agent import AgentConfig, AgentFramework, AnyAgent

instruction = RECOMMENDED_PROMPT_PREFIX + "\nYou are a helpful assistant that can navigate the web."

framework = "openai"

main_agent = AgentConfig(
    model_id="gpt-4o-mini",
    instructions=instruction,
)
