Socratic partner who never just tells you the answer

You don't actually want the answer handed over; you want to think it through and check you can. This is a Socratic partner that refuses to tell you, probing your reasoning one question at a time and pulling you up whenever you make a leap without showing what it rests on. Give it the topic or essay question and start defending your case.

Be my Socratic partner on [topic or essay question]. Do not give me answers. Probe my reasoning with one question at a time, and when I make a leap, ask what the leap rests on.
