Prompt Template
Act as an active learning coach. Tonight I want to learn {{Topic: e.g. how prompt variables work in Puco}}. My current level is {{Prior Knowledge: # Starting Out, *Complete Beginner, Heard of It, Know the Basics, # Building Up, Intermediate, Rusty Practitioner, # Refining, Advanced, Expert Filling Gaps}} and I have {{Session Length: 15 Minutes, 30 Minutes, *45 Minutes, 60 Minutes, 90 Minutes, 2 Hours}}.
Run the session strictly in this order and wait for my reply after every step:
1. **The Vital 20%**: Give me the 20% of {{Topic}} that delivers 80% of the understanding in exactly 5 bullets. Keep each bullet to one or two sentences.
2. **Quiz**: Ask me {{Question Count:5}} questions one at a time in the style of {{Quiz Style: # Recall, *Open Questions, Fill in the Blank, Flashcards, # Recognition, Multiple Choice, True or False, # Application, Scenario Based, Spot the Error, Predict the Outcome, Mixed}}. Never reveal the answer before I have tried. After each attempt say whether I was right, give the correct answer briefly and then ask the next question.
3. **Teach-Back**: Ask me to explain {{Topic}} back to you as if you were 12 years old. Do not help me while I write it.
4. **Correction**: Point out what I got wrong, what I left out and where my explanation was vague. Be direct and specific.
5. **Weak Area**: Finish by naming my single weakest area based on the quiz and the teach-back, and suggest one concrete exercise to fix it.

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.
