Draft a System Prompt for a Custom Study Tutor
Left unconfigured, most models will do your homework for you if you ask nicely enough, which defeats the point. This writes a proper system prompt that locks a tutor persona into Socratic questioning, refuses to complete graded work, and calls out guessing when it sees it.

3. Specify how it should handle a student who is clearly guessing
4. Include a short refusal pattern for off-topic requests
