How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” 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.

When to use

When you're unsure what counts as plagiarism and want to stay on the right side.

PRO TIP

When in doubt, cite β€” over-citing is never penalised, under-citing can end your academic career.
