When to use this prompt

Use it when

  • You need help with students.

Skip it when

  • You only need a one-line ask with no constraints, format, or context.
  • You cannot supply the fill-in details the template asks for.
  • A different category or tool-specific workflow fits the job better.

How to get a good result

Done when

The output clearly completes “Unstick a Study Block”: it matches the requested format, uses your filled-in details, and is ready to use without another prompting round.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving stuck_on, minutes, tried vague - the model then invents placeholders.
  • 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.
