+Ahora mismo el flujo es backend/API, sin frontend:
+
+1.- El profesor crea una plantilla con POST /exam/templates Define título, materia, nivel educativo, 
+tipos de preguntas, número de preguntas, puntuación, penalización y dificultad.
+
+2.- Genera un prompt con POST /exam/prompts/{template_id} La API devuelve un prompt estructurado para 
+pedirle al LLM preguntas en JSON válido.
+
+3.- Hay dos caminos posibles:
+
+    3.1.- Generación automática: POST /exam/generate La API llama al LLM configurado, parsea la respuesta y guarda las preguntas.
+    3.2.- Carga manual: POST /exam/parse El profesor pega una salida de IA en json o txt, y la API la valida y guarda.
+
+4.- El profesor exporta el examen:
+
+GET /exam/export/xml/{template_id} para Moodle XML.
+GET /exam/export/txt/{template_id} para texto plano.
+GET /exam/export/json/{template_id} para JSON.
+
+(El XML generado se importa manualmente en Moodle.)
+
+En resumen: configurar plantilla → generar prompt o llamar al LLM → guardar preguntas → exportar Moodle XML.
