Test me on this
You read about something and feel like you got it.
Ask me five questions on this, one at a time. After each, tell me what my answer reveals about my model.
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Checking your understanding. Quizzes, teach-backs and gap hunts that find what you only think you know.
