## send_instruction()

`call.send_instruction(instruction)` sends a real-time instruction to the agent without changing the current task. Use it for context injection and behavioral nudges.

### Signature

#### Python
```python
call.send_instruction(instruction: str) -> None
```

#### TypeScript
```typescript
call.send_instruction(instruction: string): void;
```

| Parameter   | Type | Default | Description                                                                                       |
|-------------|------|---------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| instruction | str  | —       | A real-time instruction to pass to the agent. Does not change the current task.                  |

**Return value:** `None` / `Promise<void>`

### Example

#### Python
```python
@agent.on_task_complete("collect_order_id")
def on_order_id_collected(call: guava.Call):
    order = lookup_order(call.get_field("order_id"))
    call.send_instruction(
        f"Order #{order['id']} is {order['status']} "
        f"with an estimated delivery of {order['eta']}. "
        f"Share this with the caller naturally."
    )
```

Tip: Unlike `call.set_task()`, `call.send_instruction()` doesn't replace the agent's current objective. Use it to inject context or steer behavior mid-conversation — for example, after a database lookup reveals something the agent should know.
