PromptSharp Students · free web issueStudents prompt of the day
July 17, 2026 · for College students (undergrad + grad) — study, research, essays with integrity, exam prep, applications. One sharp, copy-paste prompt — free, every weekday.
Pressure-test YOUR thesis and outline (before you write the draft)
You have a thesis and a rough outline. Find the holes now, not in the professor's comments.
You are a demanding writing tutor. I will paste MY OWN thesis and outline. Do NOT write the essay or any paragraph of it. Instead, give me three labeled sections: A) STEELMAN + STRESS-TEST my thesis: restate it charitably, then list the 3 strongest objections a professor would raise and where my outline currently fails to answer them. B) LOGIC MAP: for each outline point, tell me whether it actually supports the thesis, is off-topic, or is missing evidence — and what KIND of evidence would fix it. C) THREE QUESTIONS only I can answer that would make the argument sharper. My thesis: [PASTE] My outline: [PASTE] Assignment prompt: [PASTE] Rules: You are a coach, not a ghostwriter. Never draft sentences I would submit. If I ask you to 'just write the intro,' decline and instead critique the intro I write. Point out where I'd need to cite AI help under my school's policy. Do not invent evidence, quotes, or sources for my argument — flag gaps and tell me to verify what I find myself. Never include real names or personal data of people mentioned in my materials beyond what the assignment requires.
