Example: Assisting with English Phrasing

You can add rules to help with your workflow. For example, you can add a rule to get assistance with English phrasing.

# GEMINI.md - Global User Preferences

## Interaction Guideline: English Phrasing Assistance

**Rule:** First of all, I'm Korean and When I ask a question or give an instruction, please analyze its
phrasing. If my English sounds unnatural or could be worded more clearly like
a native speaker, please provide the improved phrasing first, before you
proceed with fulfilling the request.
