Continuing the discussion from Best practices/Suggestions for "Knowledge" instructions:

Ahem!, been a while since I last posted and thought I'll update the handbook for one of my older posts as the interface for adding instructions have also changed.

tl;dr: Check the tl;dr: of the first post

So... without further ado, here's where you can find the new placement to add instructions:

The v0 team has also added an option that allows the agent to automatically create images, in places when needed or instructed, by simply toggling the "Generate Images" button at the top. They have also added support for MCP integration, you can find this in another blog or I may create one in the future.

Once you click on this "Instructions" menu item, it'll open a sub-menu listing all your instructions with an option to filter using search input and another to add new instruction:

By default, you get the "Be Concise" and "Plan Mode" instructions which are both very great throughout project development. To add a new instruction, simply click on the "New instruction" item and it'll open a dialog as follows:

In the title, you can add something that helps you identify your new instruction and in the rule, you should mention what you want the agent to do in which scenario. Try to keep it short and clear, maybe use some other AI model and have it generate the rule for you. Let the model know what you want the rule to be for and ask it to keep it short but properly define the expected output. For instance, one of the rules I've set when developing mobile focused apps:

Now humans are known to make mistakes, so the developers at Vercel have added an option to edit your rules that can be accessed from the Instructions sub-menu, by clicking on the filter icon that appears next to the title of your created instruction:

They also support the deletion of instructions through the dialog that pops up when creating or editing your instructions.

That's all for this discussion, let me know your thoughts and some instructions that have helped you the most with guiding the v0 agent to provide better outputs. Peace!

Happy Holidays!
