Getting Unstuck Without Getting the Answer

Getting Unstuck Without Getting the Answer

How to ask so the tutor keeps teaching, and when to stop asking and go back to the lesson.

به چه درد می‌خورد

این مربی عمدا جواب نمی‌دهد. به‌جای جنگیدن با آن، دقیق بگو **کجا** گیر کرده‌ای و کار خودت را نشان بده. اگر سه رفت‌وبرگشت پیش نرفتی، شکاف جای دیگری است — بپرس برای این مسئله چه چیزی را باید از قبل بدانم.

It is built not to give you the answer, which is useful right up until it is
not. Work with that rather than against it.

When you are stuck, say WHERE, precisely:
- "I got to line 3 and I do not know why the sign flipped." Not "I do not get
  it." A precise stuck point gets a precise hint; a vague one gets a re-teach
  of something you already know.
- Show your working, including the wrong part. A tutor that cannot see your
  attempt has to guess which misconception you have, and it usually guesses the
  most common one rather than yours.

Three asks that work better than asking for the answer:
1. "Give me the same problem with easier numbers." Structure is the thing you
   are missing; small numbers make it visible.
2. "What is the FIRST step, and why that one?" The why is the transferable part.
3. "Show me a worked example of the same type, then give me a new one."

When to stop: if three exchanges have not moved you, the gap is earlier than
this problem. Ask "what should I already know to do this?" and go back to that.
Grinding at the current problem is the least efficient thing available.

نصبش چطور است

1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template.
2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions
   — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona.
3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
