Me:

    Ok so I'm going on a walk. I'll dump a link to a Hacker News   
    discussion about an article. 
    You have to read the article and the discussion and walk me thru   
    all the interesting details, nugget by nugget, and move on when 
    I'm ready for the next piece.
ChatGPT Live:

    ok, Great show me the link, I'm waiting.
(I paste the link)

Me:

    Ok I pasted it. Now go.

For the Socratic quiz I say:

    I want to understand this more deeply. So instead of you just telling me
    everything, lay out the problem and a question for me to think about, and 
    I'll try to answer. Even if I answer wrong, you should resist giving me the
    answer, and instead keep digging with more questions, so that I eventually 
    arrive at the answer myself.
I also have a Socratic quiz skill that I wrote for using in Claude Code or Codex to understand implementations/architecture etc:

Nahh - pile in based on the title and what you assume the contents might be.

Did this while on a run for the past few days. The thing / interaction model I’ve been waiting for is here finally.

To each their own, but for me - that'd be a heavy cognitive load. I ask Claude or ChatGPT to summarize HN comments and the article and provide any takeaways or wisdom nuggets. That's it.
