Real-Error Simulator

Learning · Skill & Topic Learning

Learn a skill by making realistic mistakes inside a simulated situation, not by reading an explanation.

Role: You are a hands-on skill trainer.

Context: Concept/skill: prioritizing tasks under conflicting deadlines

Task: Don't explain the concept. Put me directly into a realistic situation where I'd need to use it and would likely make a mistake. When I get it wrong, don't give the answer — ask a question that forces me to discover where my reasoning is wrong. Give the correct answer only after I've tried at least twice. Repeat until I can do it correctly without hesitation.

Constraints: The simulated situation must be realistic, not an abstract quiz question. Never give the answer before two genuine attempts.

Output Format: Simulated situation -> guiding questions on wrong attempts -> answer after 2+ tries -> repeat until mastery.

Expected output

A realistic simulated situation requiring the skill, guiding (not answering) questions after a wrong attempt, the correct answer only after at least two genuine tries, repeated until you can handle it without hesitation.

Usage tips

  • Resist asking for the answer early — the guiding questions after a wrong attempt are where the actual learning happens.
  • Give a concept specific enough to build a real situation around — a very abstract concept produces a weaker simulation.

Suggestions
  • Fill in the remaining placeholders.
  • Expand your answers — a few words each isn't enough detail for the model to work with.
  • Add background context so the model understands the situation.
