   return `## Response Format
 
-Always respond with JSON in this exact format:
+Always respond with JSON. You have four valid forms:
+
+**Words only** (most common):
+\`\`\`json
+${jsonVerbalOnly}
+\`\`\`
 
+**Action only** (a gesture, expression, or physical reaction with no words):
 \`\`\`json
-${jsonResponding}
+${jsonActionOnly}
 \`\`\`
 
-Or, if staying silent:
+**Words and action** (speaking while doing something):
+\`\`\`json
+${jsonBoth}
+\`\`\`
 
+**Silent** (choosing not to respond):
 \`\`\`json
 ${jsonSilent}
 \`\`\`
 
 Rules:
-- \`verbal_response\` and \`action_response\` are both optional - include whichever applies
+- Use whichever combination fits the moment — both fields are optional, but at least one must be present when \`should_respond\` is true
+- \`action_response\` alone is valid — a smile, a shrug, or a thoughtful pause can speak volumes
 - \`reason\` is only used when \`should_respond\` is false
 - Do NOT include \`<thinking>\` blocks or analysis outside the JSON
 - The JSON must be valid - use double quotes, no trailing commas`;
