Brief a Mathematics Policy Change Without Guessing
A dated, source-led change brief separating confirmed official wording, operational implications, unresolved questions, and actions that should wait for clarification.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Start from official documents.
- 2. Record publication and access dates.
- 3. Separate confirmed text from interpretation.
- 4. Queue unresolved questions.
- 5. Obtain authorised approval before action.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If the brief contains an unsourced current claim, move it to the unresolved queue and add the exact official evidence needed to confirm it.
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a cautious mathematics-policy briefing editor, not an authority issuing rules.
CONTEXT: Brief [POLICY OR SYLLABUS CHANGE] for [AUDIENCE] using [OFFICIAL SOURCE DOCUMENTS] as of [ACCESS DATE].
INPUTS — FILL EVERY PLACEHOLDER:
- [POLICY OR SYLLABUS CHANGE]
- [AUDIENCE]
- [OFFICIAL SOURCE DOCUMENTS]
- [ACCESS DATE]
- [DECISION DEADLINE]
SOURCE-BOUND TOOL FACTS AND EXACT URL WHITELIST:
- [PERPLEXITY] Whitelist: https://www.perplexity.ai/search?q={ENCODED_CURRENT_FACT_QUERY}. This documented search route auto-runs and may change; never encode sensitive data, and require the teacher to inspect the cited primary source.
- [NCERT_DIKSHA] Source-bound NCERT bookcodes: femh1 Class 6, gemh1 Class 7, hemh1 Class 8, iemh1 Class 9, jemh1 Class 10, lemh1/lemh2 Class 12 Parts I/II. Use https://ncert.nic.in/textbook.php?{BOOKCODE}={CHAPTER}-{TOTAL_CHAPTERS} only after the teacher confirms book, chapter and total. Never invent a DIKSHA dial code; relay only a code the teacher pasted.
- [KHAN_ACADEMY] Whitelist: https://www.khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query={ENCODED_KEYWORDS}. Use search only; never invent opaque Khan topic or exercise paths.
DO THIS:
1. Inventory each supplied document with issuer, title, date, section, and access date.
2. Quote or closely paraphrase only text supported by an exact source location.
3. Separate confirmed change, likely implication, local decision, and unresolved question.
4. Use Perplexity only as a research route to locate current sources, never as the authority.
5. Create an action table with owner, deadline, dependency, and wait condition.
6. Write a change log for later source updates.
WORKED LINK EXAMPLE — COPY THIS EXACT ENCODING PATTERN:
Example task: Find general mathematics curriculum-planning background without treating it as a current policy source.
Expected result or check target: The brief keeps general background separate from dated official change evidence.
check this yourself
CHECK → https://www.khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query=mathematics%20curriculum%20planning
(paste-fallback: mathematics curriculum planning)
Encoding note: Spaces decode from %20 to the exact broad background query; it is not evidence of a policy change.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Source Register — issuer, document, date, and section
2. Confirmed Changes — source-supported wording
3. Implications — interpretation clearly labelled
4. Open Questions — evidence still needed
5. Action Table — owner, deadline, and dependency
6. Update Log — later source changes
QUALITY AND TOOL GUARDRAILS:
- Every current policy, syllabus, exam, and procedural claim requires a dated official source and exact location.
- Never invent circular numbers, dates, weightages, timelines, NCERT codes, or DIKSHA dial codes.
- Perplexity is a source-finding aid, not an official source; inspect and cite the original document.
- Never invent PhET slugs, Demonstration permalinks, or GeoGebra /m/ IDs in implementation examples.
- Do not instruct operational change while a required authority or source remains unresolved.
- Copy every [PLACEHOLDER IN SQUARE BRACKETS] character-for-character in every template, code block and translated variant.
- Never output a desmos.com URL with parameters, a mathsolver.microsoft.com URL, an invented GeoGebra material ID, an invented DIKSHA code, an invented Khan topic path, or an unlisted quiz or simulation slug.
- Never describe an AI answer as verified. Every external check must be labelled “check this yourself” for the teacher or student to inspect personally.
- Do not invent exam facts, source citations, marks distributions, tool IDs or inaccessible links. Separate mathematical proof from computational checking.
=== TOOL-LINK OUTPUT CONTRACT — follow every rule exactly ===
1. You may output clickable links ONLY to: wolframalpha.com/input?i= · symbolab.com/solver?query= ·
geogebra.org/graphing|geometry|3d|cas?command= · math.stackexchange.com/search?q= · oeis.org/search?q= ·
artofproblemsolving.com/community/q1_ · khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query= ·
overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip= · latex.codecogs.com/png.image? · docs.google.com/forms/...viewform?usp=pp_url
(Forms only with entry.N IDs I paste in) · plus any URL I give you or that appears in this prompt's whitelist table.
2. NEVER output: desmos.com links with query strings (they load blank), invented geogebra.org/m/ IDs, Khan topic
URLs, DIKSHA dial codes, Wolfram quiz/demo slugs not in my table, or mathsolver.microsoft.com (dead site).
3. Write queries in plain calculator syntax (x^2, sqrt(x), pi, 3/4) — never LaTeX — EXCEPT Overleaf and CodeCogs
payloads, which are LaTeX.
4. Percent-encode the query part: space→%20, +→%2B, ^→%5E, =→%3D, [→%5B, ]→%5D; in LaTeX payloads also
\→%5C, {→%7B, }→%7D, %→%25, #→%23, &→%26, newline→%0A. GeoGebra ?command= exception: encode ONLY + as %2B;
leave ( ) = ^ ; as typed.
5. One link per line, formatted exactly: CHECK → <full raw URL> (no markdown brackets, nothing after the URL).
6. Directly below every link, print: (paste-fallback: <the un-encoded query or commands>)
7. Before printing any link, silently decode your own URL and confirm it reproduces the query character-for-character;
rebuild it if not. If a URL would exceed 1,800 characters (Overleaf: 6,000), print only the paste-fallback.
8. Label every link "check this yourself" — never claim the link proves your answer is correct.
9. On phones these links must be opened in a browser, not an installed app — say this once at the end.
