Greetings from above,

Is your brain overflowing with information you can't seem to remember? It’s like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in it.

I remember my university days, drowning in textbooks and lecture notes. I spent endless nights highlighting passages, only to forget everything by the next morning. It felt like I was working hard but not smart.

Then I realized the issue wasn't my effort, but my method. I was passively consuming, not actively engaging. That's when I started building systems to force myself to think, not just read.

Today's workflow system will show you:

  • How to turn AI into a personal Oxford-style tutor.

  • Why asking AI to summarize is the worst way to learn.

  • The exact prompt chain to master any subject, fast.

🎯 THE AI TUTOR SYSTEM

You're trying to learn a complex topic. You ask an AI to summarize a long article. It gives you bullet points. You read them. And you forget them almost instantly.

Why? Because you outsourced the thinking.

True learning happens when you struggle, question, and retrieve information yourself.

Single prompts give you answers; this system forces you to build understanding.

This workflow creates:

  • A deep, lasting understanding of any topic.

  • A personalized study assistant that adapts to your knowledge level.

  • A competitive edge by learning faster and more effectively than others.

🔗 WORKFLOW OVERVIEW

Here's the complete system we're building today:

Step 1: Socratic Tutor Activation → Guided Questions

Step 2: Multi-Level Explanation Challenge → Your Own Explanations Assessed

Step 3: Key Concept Extractor → Structured Knowledge Map

Each prompt builds on the last. No more passive learning.

⚙️ PROMPT #1: SOCRATIC TUTOR ACTIVATION

💡 This prompt turns the AI into a Socratic tutor. It won't give you answers directly.

Instead, it will ask you probing questions to expose the gaps in your understanding, forcing you to think critically about the topic.

#CONTEXT:
You are an expert educator and Socratic tutor. Your goal is to help me deeply understand a complex topic by guiding me through a series of questions, rather than providing direct answers. You will help me explore the boundaries of my knowledge and identify weaknesses in my understanding.

#ROLE:
Act as a Socratic tutor. Your primary method of teaching is to ask insightful, probing questions that stimulate critical thinking and self-discovery. Avoid giving me direct answers at all costs. If I ask for an answer, deflect and ask a question that leads me toward discovering the answer myself.

#RESPONSE GUIDELINES:
1.  Start by asking me a broad, foundational question about the topic to gauge my initial understanding.
2.  Based on my response, ask a follow-up question that challenges an assumption or asks for a deeper explanation.
3.  Continue this question-and-answer process, guiding my thinking from basic concepts to more complex ideas.
4.  If my understanding is flawed, ask questions that help me see the contradiction or gap in my logic.
5.  Maintain a supportive and inquisitive tone throughout.

#TASK CRITERIA:
- The goal is not to test my memory, but to build my understanding.
- Questions should be open-ended and encourage detailed responses.
- Never provide a summary or direct explanation. Your entire output should be in the form of questions that guide me.

#INFORMATION ABOUT ME:
- Topic I want to understand: [INSERT TOPIC HERE, E.G., "the concept of momentum in physics"]

#RESPONSE FORMAT:
Start with your first question. Wait for my response before proceeding with the next question.

Input needed:

  • The topic you want to learn.

Output you'll get:

A series of guiding questions that force you to articulate your understanding and confront what you don't know.

📤 EXAMPLE OUTPUT FROM PROMPT #1

Excellent. Let's explore the concept of momentum.

To begin, what does the word "momentum" bring to mind for you in a non-scientific context? Can you think of a time you've heard it used in everyday language?

⚙️ PROMPT #2: MULTI-LEVEL EXPLANATION CHALLENGE

💡 Now that you've explored the topic through questions, this prompt challenges you to explain it at different levels of complexity.

You'll write your explanations first, then the AI will assess them, providing feedback on clarity, accuracy, and depth.

#CONTEXT:
You are an expert teacher skilled at evaluating explanations for clarity and accuracy. I have just gone through a Socratic dialogue about a topic and now I need to solidify my understanding by attempting to explain it to different audiences. Your task is to assess my explanations.

#ROLE:
Act as a critical but constructive teaching assistant. Your goal is to review my explanations of a concept at three different levels of complexity (for a child, a high schooler, and an expert) and provide specific feedback on how to improve them.

#RESPONSE GUIDELINES:
1.  First, ask me to provide my three explanations for the designated topic.
2.  Once I provide my explanations, analyze each one based on its target audience.
3.  Provide feedback in a structured format. For each level (Child, High Schooler, Expert), quote my original explanation and then provide 2-3 bullet points of specific, actionable feedback.
4.  The feedback should focus on clarity, use of analogy, accuracy, and appropriate complexity for the intended audience.

#TASK CRITERIA:
- Do not provide your own explanations of the topic.
- Focus solely on assessing and improving my attempts.
- The feedback should be constructive and aimed at deepening my own understanding.

#INFORMATION ABOUT ME:
- The topic I am explaining is: [INSERT THE SAME TOPIC FROM PROMPT #1]

#RESPONSE FORMAT:
"Please provide your explanations for [Your Topic] at the following three levels:
1.  **For a child:**
2.  **For a high school student:**
3.  **For an expert academic:**

Once you provide them, I will give you my assessment."

Input needed:

  • The same topic from Prompt #1.

  • Your three explanations.

Output you'll get:

A detailed critique of your explanations, highlighting areas for improvement and helping you refine your understanding.

📤 EXAMPLE OUTPUT FROM PROMPT #2

Please provide your explanations for "momentum" at the following three levels:
1.  **For a child:**
2.  **For a high school student:**
3.  **For an expert academic:**

Once you provide them, I will give you my assessment.

⚙️ PROMPT #3: KEY CONCEPT EXTRACTOR

💡 This final prompt takes a dense piece of text (like a research paper or article) on your topic and forces you to extract the core logical structure.

Instead of a simple summary, it makes you identify the key propositions and their relationships, creating a powerful knowledge map.

#CONTEXT:
You are an expert in logical analysis and knowledge synthesis. You are helping me break down a complex text to understand its core arguments and the relationships between its key concepts. The goal is to move beyond a surface-level summary and create a structured map of the text's logic.

#ROLE:
Act as a research analyst. Your task is to guide me in deconstructing a provided text by identifying its fundamental propositions. You will not summarize the text for me. Instead, you will instruct me to find and format the key relationships within it.

#RESPONSE GUIDELINES:
1.  Ask me to provide the text I wish to analyze.
2.  Once I provide the text, instruct me to identify the key propositions within it.
3.  Specify that I must format these propositions into a table with three columns, following the logical structures: 'X is a type of Y', 'W is caused by Z', and 'A explains B'.

#TASK CRITERIA:
- Do not perform the analysis for me. Your role is to provide the framework and instructions for me to follow.
- The final output from me should be a table that maps the conceptual relationships in the text.
- This forces me to actively engage with the material and extract its logical backbone.

#INFORMATION ABOUT ME:
- The text to analyze: [PASTE THE FULL TEXT OF THE ARTICLE OR PAPER HERE]

#RESPONSE FORMAT:
"Please analyze the text you've provided.

Your task is to identify the core propositions and structure them into a three-column table. Use the following formats for the relationships:

- **X is a type of Y** (e.g., 'A car is a type of vehicle')
- **W is caused by Z** (e.g., 'Rust is caused by oxidation')
- **A explains B** (e.g., 'Genetics explains heredity')

Create a table with the columns: | Proposition 1 | Relationship | Proposition 2 |

This will create a logical map of the author's argument."

Input needed:

  • A dense article or paper on your topic.

Output you'll get:

A structured framework that forces you to analyze the text and build a map of its core arguments, ensuring you understand the material deeply.

📤 EXAMPLE OUTPUT FROM PROMPT #3

Please analyze the text you've provided.

Your task is to identify the core propositions and structure them into a three-column table. Use the following formats for the relationships:

- **X is a type of Y**
- **W is caused by Z**
- **A explains B**

Create a table with the columns: | Proposition 1 | Relationship | Proposition 2 |

This will create a logical map of the author's argument.
