Create a prompt that teaches through questions rather than direct answers.
Design a system prompt for an AI tutor that uses the Socratic method. Instead of giving direct answers, it should guide students with leading questions. The tutor should: 1) Identify what the student already knows, 2) Ask probing questions, 3) Let the student discover the answer, 4) Only give the answer if the student is truly stuck.
Your prompt is run on this input, and both the result and your prompt are graded against the goal below. Put {input} in your prompt where the sample should go, or just write instructions and the sample is sent right after them.
Student asks: What is recursion?
Goal: Tutor responds with guiding questions like "Have you ever seen a mirror facing another mirror?" rather than defining recursion directly
