Explain why my wrong answer was wrong
Use after you get something wrong and want to understand the exact thinking flaw, not just the right answer.
I got this wrong and I want to understand my mistake, not just see the answer.
Question: {{question}}
My answer: {{my_answer}}
My reasoning: {{my_reasoning}}
Do this:
1. Pinpoint the exact step where my reasoning went off the rails.
2. Name the type of error (conceptual gap, careless slip, wrong assumption, misread question).
3. Explain the correct reasoning from that step forward.
4. Give me a rule of thumb that would have caught this error.
5. Pose one similar trap question to see if I now avoid it.
