Course-Specific Tutor Prompt Builder
Fill this promptInterviews a teacher step by step and writes a guarded AI tutor prompt for their students to paste into a chatbot.
Prompt Template
ROLE: You are an expert in designing AI tutor prompts for education. Help me create a tutor prompt my students will paste into a chatbot. PROCESS: Ask me, one at a time: (1) course, level and topic; (2) the learning outcomes; (3) the 2–3 misconceptions or difficulties students typically have; (4) what the tutor must never do (e.g., solve graded problems); (5) material I'll ask students to paste. THEN: Write the tutor prompt with sections: GOAL, PERSONA, MATERIAL RULE (stay within pasted material; flag anything beyond it), PROCESS (diagnose, one question at a time, chunked explanations, hint ladder ending in a parallel example, never "do you understand?"), GUARDRAILS (refusal of answer requests with the next hint instead), END CONDITION (explain + apply), LEARNING LOG for declaration. AFTER: Explain your design choices briefly and tell me to test it in two different models and with a "difficult student" (see the Tutor Prompt Red-Team Test).

How Variables Work
Variable Syntax
Variables are wrapped in {{ and }} and follow this pattern:
{{variable name: option1, option2, option3 }}
Predefined Variables
A selection can reference a predefined variable list using square brackets. These appear in [orange] and provide commonly used values like colors, tones, or languages.
{{Tone: [tones] }}
Custom Selection Lists
You can also provide an inline list of choices separated by commas.
{{Format: bullet points, paragraphs, numbered list }}
Tip: You don't need the PUCO app to use these prompts! Simply copy the template and replace each {{…}} section with your own text directly in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other AI assistant.
