About the ChatGPT Custom Instructions Generator

Custom instructions are the two boxes in ChatGPT settings that apply to every new chat: what ChatGPT should know about you, and how you want it to respond. Filled in well, they remove the preamble, the over-explaining and the constant reformatting. Left empty, every chat starts from a generic reader.

This generator writes both boxes from a few choices — your role, the tools you work with, what you are working on and how much to assume you know, then length, tone, formatting, code style and the habits you want gone. The wording is written to be enforceable: instructions about form rather than virtues, which is what a model can actually follow.

Each box has a live counter against the 1,500 character limit ChatGPT enforces, so nothing is cut off when you save. Presets for developers, marketers, students and founders give you a strong draft in one click. The same text works in the personal preferences setting in Claude.
