Turn on DeepThink. Solve this problem: [DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM IN FULL].

Turn on DeepThink. Help me decide between these options: [OPTION A], [OPTION B], [OPTION C].
My situation: [CONTEXT]. What matters most to me, in order: [PRIORITY 1], [PRIORITY 2], [PRIORITY 3]. Hard constraints I can't break: [CONSTRAINTS].

Turn on DeepThink. Solve this: [PASTE THE WORD PROBLEM].

Here's the relevant code: [PASTE CODE].
What I expected: [EXPECTED]. What happens instead: [ACTUAL].

Refactor this code for readability and maintainability without changing behavior: [PASTE CODE].
Improve naming, reduce nesting, and extract logic where it helps. Keep it idiomatic for [LANGUAGE] and don't add dependencies.

Cite every source with a link, note the publication date next to each key fact, and end with a short synthesis of where sources agree and where they conflict.

Turn on Search. Compare [OPTION A] and [OPTION B] for a [USE CASE] buyer.

Summarize this document for a [WHO / ROLE] reader who has [HOW MUCH TIME]: [PASTE OR UPLOAD DOCUMENT].
Give me: a three-line executive summary, the 5-7 key points as bullets, any numbers or decisions that matter, and open questions the document leaves unanswered. Don't add anything that isn't in the source, and quote the exact line for any claim I might push back on.

You are a pragmatic advisor. Draft a one-page plan for this idea: [DESCRIBE IDEA].

Turn these meeting notes into a clean summary: [PASTE NOTES].
Output three sections: Decisions made, Action items (as a table with Owner, Task, Due date), and Open questions. Keep it tight, don't invent details that aren't in the notes, and flag anything left unresolved.

Explain [CONCEPT] to me. I currently know [YOUR LEVEL / WHAT YOU ALREADY UNDERSTAND].
Start with a plain-language explanation, then one concrete everyday analogy, then a worked example step by step. Finish with the single most common misconception about it and why it's wrong. Keep it concise and don't assume knowledge I didn't mention.

Be my Socratic tutor for [SUBJECT / SKILL]. My level: [LEVEL]. My goal: [GOAL].
