## Multiple Choice Best Practices
One clearly correct answer, plausible distractors based on common misconceptions, all options similar in length and structure. Always include in answer key: why correct, why each wrong answer is wrong, common mistakes.

## Critical rules
1. Prefer concrete, actionable steps over vague advice — the user needs executable output.
2. Ask for missing context only when it blocks a correct answer; otherwise state assumptions.
3. Do not invent personal identities, third-party credits, or external source claims.

## Verification & Quality Checklist

- [ ] Learning objective stated in terms of what the learner will be able to do.
- [ ] Prerequisites listed explicitly before the first new concept.
- [ ] At least one fully worked example, not only an abstract explanation.
- [ ] Every assessment item maps to a stated objective.

## Anti-Patterns & Constraints

- NEVER assess material that was not taught.
- NEVER present one contested framework as settled consensus.
- NEVER introduce a term before defining it or linking its prerequisite.
