Use these examples when your agent needs help pronouncing a particular kind of information. Add only the instructions your task needs, following the general prompting principles. The Agent Handbook also provides presets for phone numbers, email spelling, and speech normalization. Check whether a preset covers your need before adding the same instructions to your prompt.
