The three pages
Bridge — your chapter pool, arrangements ("orders"), and the transitions/intros
between chapters within an arrangement.
Write — where each chapter's actual content gets drafted, refined, and (optionally)
adapted into an arrangement's style.
Settings — everything global: project selection, the two framing fields, the system
instruction, and the structure/example template + example chapters.
Four kinds of instruction, four different jobs
Every setting feeds a specific generation step — nothing is shared automatically between all of them. Put an instruction in the wrong field and it simply never reaches the model call it was meant for.
| Field | Feeds | What belongs here |
|---|---|---|
| System instruction | Everything — Draft, Refine, transitions, adaptation | Rules with zero exceptions: fixed output language, units, formatting bans. |
| General content framing | Draft & Refine (Write page) only | Factual context: audience, goal, what the tutorial covers. No tone. |
| Structure / example template | Draft & Refine (Write page) only | What every chapter must structurally contain — required sections, a recurring exercise, a running narrative element. |
| Arrangement framing | Transitions & "Adapt to arrangement" (Bridge page) only | Voice/tone for how a specific arrangement is delivered. |
One important asymmetry: adaptation is explicitly told to preserve structure and facts exactly, changing only wording and tone. So even a well-placed structural instruction in Arrangement framing would be ignored during adaptation — structure only ever comes from the Structure/example template, because that's what Draft and Refine actually read.
Worked example
A real prompt that mixed all three concerns, and how it splits up:
"Schreibe für Kinder in der 5. Klasse in einem lockeren, motivierenden und interessanten Ton [...]. Denke dir auch Experimente aus, die man auf einem Breadboard bauen und ausprobieren kann [...]. Nimm Bezug auf RobertOne, sodass die Kinder immer einen praktischen Bezug haben [...]. Schreibe keine Einleitung und keine Überleitung zum nächsten Kapitel [...]. A tutorial for learning electronics based on a robot called RobertOne. The kit consists of: wooden base, 2 TT motors with wheels, ESP32-S3 microcontroller, DRV8833 motor driver, L7805 voltage regulator, ultrasonic sensor, breadboard, assorted components."
This single block mixes three different jobs. Split apart:
| Piece | Goes in | Why |
|---|---|---|
| "lockerer, motivierender Ton für 5. Klasse" | Arrangement framing | Pure tone — varies if you ever deliver this tutorial with a different voice. |
| "Denke dir Experimente aus", "Bezug auf RobertOne", "keine Einleitung/Überleitung" | Structure / example template | Structural requirements — must reach Draft/Refine directly, or they never appear in the content at all. |
| The kit parts list, "tutorial for 5th graders on electronics" | General content framing | Factual context the content itself needs, independent of tone. |
With the original version, Refine on the Write page would never add an experiment section — that instruction lived in Arrangement framing, a field Draft/Refine never reads.
Quick troubleshooting
"Refine isn't applying my structural instruction." — it's probably in Arrangement
framing or a per-arrangement Style/Instructions field. Move it to Structure/example template.
"Adapting to an arrangement changed the content's structure/facts." — that shouldn't
happen; adaptation is instructed to preserve structure exactly. If you're seeing this, try regenerating —
it may be a one-off model deviation rather than expected behavior.
"I want a rule to apply absolutely everywhere, no matter what." — put it in System
instruction on the Settings page, not either framing field.
