How to use
先明确说「不要给答案」，否则它一定会写完。
Try tweaking it
- Set a turn limit (e.g. 5) and an exit condition, then ask for a score and rewrites.
- Have it play only the counterpart: no advice, no acting on your behalf.
What you should get
- A full exchange where the AI stays in the counterpart role
- A score plus sentences you could reuse
Common mistakes
- No turn limit, so the AI plays on and you never practise closing.
- Letting it both play the counterpart and coach you — the role blurs and nothing sticks.
How to check the output
- The AI plays only the counterpart — no advice, no acting for you.
- It ends with a score or rewritten lines that identify what worked.
Where it works
- Good for: having AI play only the counterpart, stay in role for a fixed number of turns, then step out and give a score or rewrite.
- Watch out: set the turn limit and exit condition; for medical or legal scenes, get professional review.
