The prompt
Help me research [QUESTION] for [PURPOSE] within [TIME LIMIT]. Break it into subquestions, recommend source types, create search phrases, define an evidence log, and give me a stopping rule. Separate facts, expert opinions, and open questions, and tell me how to spot weak or outdated sources.
How to adapt it
- Replace the bracketed placeholders with your real question, purpose, time limit before you run it.
- Keep the requested structure and constraints; adjust the tone for your learning context.
- Review the first answer against your own facts, then ask for a second pass on anything that feels vague or unsupported.
