Communication Style

Communication Style defines how an agent communicates with users. It controls tone, verbosity, technical level, and output format preferences.

Structure

type Style struct {
    Tone            string  // e.g., "professional", "friendly", "casual"
    Formality       float64 // 0.0 = casual, 1.0 = formal
    Verbosity       float64 // 0.0 = terse, 1.0 = verbose
    TechnicalLevel  float64 // 0.0 = layperson, 1.0 = expert
    EmojiUsage      bool    // whether to use emojis
    PreferredFormat string  // e.g., "markdown", "plain", "structured"
    AdaptToUser     bool    // adjust style based on user's language

        Formality: 0.7,
    },
}
