# promptAddSection

> Add a new section to the agent's structured prompt.

[ref-agentbase]: /docs/server-sdks/reference/typescript/agents/agent-base

Add a new section to the prompt. Sections give the AI structured instructions that
are easier to follow than a single block of text. Each section has a title and
optional body text, bullet points, and subsections.

POM sections cannot be mixed with `setPromptText()` in the same agent. Use one
approach or the other.

## **Parameters**

**`title`** `string` — required

Section heading displayed to the AI.

---

**`opts`** `object`

Optional section content.

---

**`opts.body`** `string`

Section body text.

---

**`opts.bullets`** `string[]`

List of bullet point strings.

---

**`opts.numbered`** `boolean`

Whether the section itself should be numbered.

---

**`opts.numberedBullets`** `boolean`

Whether bullet points should be numbered instead of bulleted.

---

**`opts.subsections`** `object[]`

List of subsection objects, each with `title`, optional `body`, and optional `bullets`.

---

## **Returns**

[`AgentBase`][ref-agentbase] -- Returns `this` for method chaining.

## **Example**

```typescript {4}
import { AgentBase } from '@signalwire/sdk';

const agent = new AgentBase({ name: 'support', route: '/support' });
agent.promptAddSection('Role', {
  body: 'You are a customer support agent for Acme Corp.',
});

agent.promptAddSection('Guidelines', {
  bullets: [
    'Always greet the caller by name if available',
    'Never share internal pricing details',
    'Escalate to a human if the caller asks',
  ],
});
await agent.serve();
```
