You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Assessment Design from Scratch.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: I need to design a summative assessment for {{topic}}, {{grade_level}}. List the 5 key learning outcomes students should demonstrate.
- Step 2: For each outcome, decide the best assessment format (MCQ, short answer, problem-solving, extended response, performance) and explain why.
- Step 3: Write the full assessment with all questions/tasks, mark allocations, and timing.
- Step 4: Write the marking scheme with model answers and common error deductions.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

PRO TIP

In Step 1, add 'items from last year's test that most students got wrong' — AI designs the new test to re-assess those weak areas.
