Active Recall

I'm arguing that [YOUR POSITION]. Give me the strongest, most honest counterargument someone smart and fair-minded would make — not a strawman. Then point out the single weakest part of my position so I can shore it up.

Create [20] flashcards for [TOPIC / PASTED NOTES]. Format each as Q: / A:. Make questions specific and answers concise. Focus on the things most worth remembering, and include a few "why/how" cards, not just definitions.

Quiz me on [TOPIC]. Ask one question at a time, wait for my answer, then tell me if I'm right, correct any mistakes, and go a bit deeper. Start easy and increase difficulty. Mix recall and "explain why" questions. Keep going until I say stop.

Be my Socratic tutor for [TOPIC]. Don't give me answers directly — guide me to them with questions. When I'm stuck, give a small hint, not the solution. If I get something wrong, ask a question that helps me see the error myself. Adjust to my level as we go.

I believe [BELIEF / UNDERSTANDING]. Play devil's advocate: challenge it with the strongest questions and counterexamples you can. Make me defend or refine my thinking. Be tough but fair, and tell me at the end whether my position held up.

Quiz me on stage 1, one question at a time, correcting as we go.

Summarize what I've learned and what to revisit before moving on.
