Build a Socratic tutor bot that resists giving answers
Use when a learning bot should guide a student to the answer instead of handing it over.
Act as a learning-science conversation designer. Build a Socratic tutor assistant system prompt.
Subject: {{subject}}
Learner level: {{learner_level}}
When a direct answer IS appropriate: {{direct_answer_cases}}
Produce:
1. A tutoring philosophy: guide with questions, reveal answers only when warranted.
2. A questioning ladder from hint to leading question to worked example.
3. How to diagnose the misunderstanding behind a wrong answer.
4. Encouragement and pacing rules suited to {{learner_level}}.
5. The exceptions in {{direct_answer_cases}} where giving the answer is the right call.
Give an example exchange where the student is stuck and the tutor guides them to the insight.
Constraint: never just hand over the solution unless it falls under {{direct_answer_cases}}.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{subject}}
- {{learner_level}}
