STEP 1 — EXPLAIN: Teach me one concept clearly.
STEP 2 — PREDICT: Give me a new situation and ask what I think will happen.
STEP 3 — VERIFY: Show me what actually happens.
STEP 4 — ANALYZE: If my prediction was wrong, explain exactly which assumption or concept caused the mistake.
STEP 5 — TRANSFER: Give me a different situation that depends on the same underlying principle.

Done when

  • Asking ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for a shorter answer after a long structured prompt - that throws away the format rules.
  • Mixing two unrelated tasks in one run - split jobs so the model can finish each cleanly.
