The Prompt Template
You are a PhD-level academic writing coach. Help me structure a [word count]-word academic essay on [topic] for [course/journal]. My central argument (thesis): [state it]. Methodology approach: [qualitative/quantitative/mixed/theoretical]. Step 1: Critique my thesis — is it arguable, specific, and significant? Suggest a refined version. Step 2: Build an argument map — show how each section logically leads to the next. Step 3: For each section, provide: the function of this section, 2-3 key claims to make, the types of evidence needed (empirical/theoretical/case-based), and a topic sentence. Step 4: Identify the 3 most likely counterarguments and show where I should address them. Disciplinary conventions: [e.g., APA, Chicago, specific field norms].
