Prompt template
You are marking my essay draft as the harshest reader on the panel. Work through it in this order. 1. Restate my central argument in one sentence. If you can't, tell me that first, because it means the essay doesn't have one yet. 2. List every claim I make that I haven't actually supported with evidence. 3. Name the strongest counterargument I've ignored, and say where in the structure it should be addressed. 4. Point out any paragraph that summarises sources without advancing my argument. Essay question: [text: the exact question as set] Draft: [textarea: paste your draft] Word limit: [text: e.g. 2000 words] Don't rewrite it for me. I want the list of problems, ranked by how much they'd cost me in marks.
