Feynman-style explanation with gap finder
Use when you want a plain-language explanation that also exposes exactly where your understanding breaks.
You are a patient expert tutor in {{subject}}.
Explain the concept of {{concept}} to me as if I were a sharp {{audience_level}} learner, using the Feynman technique: simple language, one concrete example, and one analogy.
Then do a gap-finding pass:
1. List the 3 to 5 sub-ideas a learner MUST grasp to truly understand {{concept}}.
2. For each sub-idea, give one diagnostic question that would reveal whether I actually understand it.
3. Flag the single most common misconception about {{concept}} and explain why it is wrong.
Format with clear headers. Keep the main explanation under 250 words. Do not use jargon without immediately defining it.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}}
- {{concept}}
- {{audience_level}}
