For developers and departments
The public toolkit files are designed to be used as they are. Developers, teachers and departments who want a smaller or locally tailored version can customise the master library by removing tools they do not need and adding local rules carefully.
The repository includes developer notes on where the prompt files live and how to customise prompt libraries without duplicating files or weakening the core tutor-not-ghost-writer design.
What this site is for
The AI Personal Tutor Toolkit sits between institutional AI platforms and unstructured use of general-purpose AI tools. Institutional platforms can offer governance, workflow integration, teacher oversight and analytics, but they usually involve procurement, ongoing subscription costs, and managed classroom or assessment contexts. Raw AI tools are cheap, flexible and already used by independent learners, but they offer little built-in pedagogical discipline and can drift towards answer production or ghost-writing.
The Toolkit proposes a third model: a low-cost, portable and inspectable prompt-library layer that helps independent learners, tutors and teachers turn general-purpose AI tools into more focused writing-support conversations.
Writing support, not general homework answers
The toolkit is mainly for writing, revision, academic thinking, research planning and study workflow. It is not a general-purpose homework-answer system.
Its purpose is to make ordinary AI tools behave more like a focused writing tutor: readable, specific, cautious about student authorship, and useful when a student needs to understand what to try next.
