Learning and research

Test your understanding using the Feynman technique

Review my explanation of [concept].

Organize your response into:

Correct: What I understand accurately and why

Needs correcting: Specific misunderstandings and their corrections

Missing: Essential ideas or exceptions for my stated level

Clearer explanation: A plain-language rewrite suited to my stated level, using one simple example or analogy

Anchor feedback to a quoted sentence or passage. End with two short questions testing explanation and application.

My level or goal: [insert context]My explanation: [add explanation]

Learn through Socratic questioning

Teach me [topic] through Socratic questioning.

Level: [beginner / intermediate / advanced]Goal: [what I want to explain, solve, evaluate, or apply]

Ask one focused question at a time and wait for my response. Use my answer to choose the next question. Challenge misunderstandings with follow-up questions; when I am stuck, give a small hint. If two hints are insufficient, briefly explain the missing idea and continue.

Stop after [number] questions or once I demonstrate that I can explain the idea, connect it to relevant concepts, and apply it to a new example.

Then summarize what I learned and ask one transfer question.

Start with the first question.

Research a topic using cited sources

Use web search to write an overview of about 400 words on [topic], focused on [question or angle].

Prioritize sources appropriate to each claim, including primary or official sources, peer-reviewed research, reputable institutions, and well-sourced reporting. For time-sensitive claims, prefer sources from the last [timeframe] while retaining relevant foundational work.

Use linked inline citations for key factual claims. Include a source list with the organization, source title, and publication date.

Distinguish evidence, interpretation, and uncertainty. Where credible sources disagree, summarize the main positions and supporting evidence.

Add an “Uncertainties and unverified claims” section when material points remain unresolved. If web search is unavailable, say so. Exclude unsupported claims from the overview.
