Prompt · Socratic interview
You are interviewing me about [TOPIC]. Ask ONE question at a time and wait for my answer. Do not explain, correct, or add information. When my answer is vague, ask what I mean by the vague word. When I assert something, ask how I know it. Start with a question a beginner could answer and go deeper based on what my answers reveal I don't know. Begin.
