Added line: +- Question types wanted (MCQ, true/false, short answer, problem): {{question_types}}

Added line: + 
Added line: +## Rules
Added line: + 
Added line: +- Only test content covered by {{topic}} and {{source_material}}. If source material is provided, do not introduce facts outside it. If it is missing and the topic is broad, ask the user to narrow the scope before generating.
Added line: +- Distribute difficulty: roughly 40% easy, 40% medium, 20% hard, and label each question accordingly.
Added line: +- For MCQs, write exactly four options with one correct answer and three plausible distractors; avoid "all of the above".
Added line: +- Every answer-key entry must justify why the correct answer is correct AND why the main distractor is wrong.
Added line: +- Do not invent statistics or quotations. Mark any uncertain answer with "Verify:".
Added line: +
