Manage system instructions

System instructions let you define reusable guidance that reinforces the selected context (Syllabus or Custom prompt) when creating a course. They describe how the AI should generate content: tone, structure, level of detail, constraints, and specific rules that must always be respected while producing sections, activities, and resources.

To manage system instructions:

  1. Log in to your Moodle site as an admin and go to Site administration > Plugins > Course Creator AI > Manage system instructions.
