For students

These prompts are already in the free library. They cover reading a paper or a long document, checking a claim, setting out both sides of a question, editing a draft you wrote, and explaining an error or a function in plain English.

Open a prompt, fill in the blanks with your own text, and copy it. The model notes on each page say whether it needs browsing, a long context window, or a small local model. Check facts, citations, and code before you rely on the result.

1. Explain a paper in 5 levels Research
   Explains a paper or concept at five levels, from two plain sentences up to limitations and what would falsify it, and flags anything it is not confident about.
2. Literature/market scan with citations Research
   A short overview of a topic: what it is, key approaches, what changed in the last 12 months, open debates, and five sources to read next. It asks for a link on every factual claim. The model notes say it needs browsing.
3. Fact-check this claim Research
   Splits a claim into checkable parts and marks each one true, false, misleading, or unverifiable. The model notes recommend web browsing.
4. Steelman both sides Research
   Sets out the strongest case for a question and the strongest case against it, then three facts that would most change the answer and how you could find each one.
5. Summarise a long document for decisions Research
   Summarises a document you paste for a decision you name: three bullets, facts with section references, risks, and what the document does not say. The model notes say to use a long-context model.
6. Small-model friendly summariser Local LLM (small models)
   Asks for exactly five short bullets, using only facts from the text you paste. The model notes say it is tuned for small local models.
7. Edit for clarity, keep my voice Writing
   Edits a draft for clarity and grammar, keeps your wording where it works, does not add new ideas, and lists the main changes.
8. Feedback on my draft Writing
   Gives notes on whether the main point is clear, the structure, the weakest argument, and the single change that would help most. It does not rewrite the draft.
9. Make it shorter Writing
   Rewrites text to a percentage of its length you choose, and keeps every essential fact and the call to action.
10. Explain this error like I'm new to the stack Debugging
    Explains an error in plain English: what it means, three common causes, how to tell which one fits, and the usual fix. It asks for the answer in under 250 words.
11. Code explainer for small coder models Local LLM (small models)
    Explains one function as purpose, inputs, output, numbered steps, and possible bugs. The model notes point it at small coder models.
12. Rubber-duck mode Debugging
    Asks one short question at a time while you explain your code, and points out where your explanation and the code disagree. It withholds the answer unless you ask for it.
