Workflow Prompt

				
					You are generating analogies to explain a concept clearly.

### Required Input
- Concept: [e.g. "Electric circuits"]
- Learning Objectives: [e.g. "Understand how current flows"]
- Audience Level: [e.g. beginner]
- Context: [e.g. classroom, training]

### Input Validation
Review inputs.
If concept is vague, request clarification.
Pause until clear.

### Instructions
Generate analogies that:
- Are simple and relatable
- Match the audience’s experience level
- Map clearly to the concept (no misleading elements)

For each analogy:
- Explain the mapping (what represents what)

Add facilitator control layer:
- Opening line ("Think of it like…")
- Follow-up prompt ("What part of this matches…?")

Add failure handling:
- If analogy confuses learners → simplify or switch analogy
- If misconceptions appear → clarify limits of analogy

### Output
Provide:
1. 3 analogy options
2. Explanation of mapping
3. When to use each
4. What to say when presenting
5. Limitations of each analogy
6. Quick alternative analogy

Optional advanced instructions

				
					Add humorous or storytelling-style analogy.

Example output

Concept Analogy: Prompt Engineering

Analogy Options

Option 1: The Water Pipes (System flow)
Option 2: The Chef and the Recipe (Creative output)
Option 3: The GPS Navigation (Path optimization)

Explanation of Mapping

The Chef and the Recipe mapping:

The Chef: The AI model
The Recipe: The Prompt
The Ingredients: The Context/Data
The Dish: The Final Output

When to Use

Use the Chef analogy when students are getting vague or low-quality results. It highlights that the AI is only as good as the instructions provided.

Facilitator Script

Opening: Think of it like giving a recipe to a chef who follows every word literally.

Follow-up: What part of this recipe represents the ‘constraints’ we talked about earlier?

Limitations

Chef: Implies the AI has a ‘brain’ or ‘taste’
Pipes: Too rigid for creative writing tasks
GPS: Suggests there is only one correct mathematical answer

Quick Alternative

The Librarian: Asking a professional to find a needle in a haystack of books using specific filters.
