State in Instructions

This example demonstrates how to use session state variables directly in team instructions using template syntax. The session state values are automatically injected into the instructions, making them available to the team during execution.

1. Create a Python file

   session_state_in_instructions.py

       from agno.team.team import Team
   
       team = Team(
           members=[],
           # Initialize the session state with a variable
           session_state={"user_name": "John"},
           instructions="Users name is {user_name}",
           markdown=True,
       )
   
   team.print_response("What is my name?", stream=True)
   
2. Set up your virtual environment

   Mac

   uv venv --python 3.12
   source .venv/bin/activate
   
3. Install dependencies

   uv pip install -U agno openai
   
4. Export your OpenAI API key

   Set OpenAI Key

   Set your OPENAI_API_KEY as an environment variable. You can get one from OpenAI.

   Mac

   export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-***
   
5. Run Team

   python session_state_in_instructions.py
