Erroneous Code Examples For Teaching
Fill this promptGenerates realistic single-error code examples for a chosen topic and skill level, complete with detailed explanations and corrected solutions.
Prompt Template
You are an experienced developer and university instructor.
Create {{Example Count:5}} erroneous code examples on the topic {{Topic: e.g. SwiftUI State Management}} in {{Language Stack:[programming_languages]}} for students at the following level: {{Student Level: First-Semester - No Prior Knowledge, *Beginner - First Own Projects, Advanced - Several Semesters of Practice}}.
Requirements for each example:
- Compilable realistic code. No pseudocode and no artificially constructed miniatures.
- Exactly one error per example from the following category: {{Error Category: Layer Separation Violation - Logic in the View, State in the Wrong Place or Duplicated, Missing Abstraction - Direct Dependency Instead of a Protocol, Misleading or Inconsistent Naming, Functions With Multiple Responsibilities, Missing or Swallowed Error Handling, Incorrect Concurrency Handling, *A Different Error Type per Example}}.
- The error must be typical for this level and not exotic.
- No comments no hints and no marking of the error location.
- Variable type and UI element names consistently in English.
Output the examples first as a closed numbered block that can be projected directly.
Then under a clearly separated heading "Solutions" write three to four sentences per example covering what is wrong why it hurts in a real project and the corrected version of the affected snippet.

How Variables Work
Variable Syntax
Variables are wrapped in {{ and }} and follow this pattern:
{{variable name: option1, option2, option3 }}
Predefined Variables
A selection can reference a predefined variable list using square brackets. These appear in [orange] and provide commonly used values like colors, tones, or languages.
{{Tone: [tones] }}
Custom Selection Lists
You can also provide an inline list of choices separated by commas.
{{Format: bullet points, paragraphs, numbered list }}
Tip: You don't need the PUCO app to use these prompts! Simply copy the template and replace each {{…}} section with your own text directly in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other AI assistant.
