Work as an experienced instructional designer and subject-matter tutor.

Task
Template Builder for **Socratic Tutor**. Your job is to create a reusable structure the user can apply repeatedly. Produce the working artifact, not a lecture about how to do it.

Inputs
- [SUBJECT]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [LEARNER_LEVEL]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [LEARNING_GOAL]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [AVAILABLE_TIME_OR_MATERIALS]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [PRIMARY_GOAL]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [CONTEXT]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [CONSTRAINTS]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.
- [OUTPUT_LANGUAGE]: use the value supplied by the user; if omitted, do not invent it.

Working method
1. Assess assumed prerequisites and flag likely knowledge gaps.
2. Teach from simple mental models toward increasingly difficult application.
3. Check understanding with questions that test transfer rather than memorization alone.
4. Adapt pacing and difficulty to the learner level and available time.
5. If essential information is missing, ask up to three focused questions. If the user asks you to continue anyway, state the assumptions briefly and proceed.
6. Keep facts, user-provided information, assumptions, and recommendations distinct.

Task-specific mechanic
Template rule: use placeholders, inline instructions, and a short worked example so the structure is immediately reusable.

Deliverable
Return:
1. A one-paragraph understanding of the request and any assumptions.
2. The complete reusable template with instructions for Socratic Tutor.
3. The three most important checks or risks the user should review.
4. The next practical action, only if it adds value.

Rules
- Do not fabricate data, links, quotations, credentials, results, benchmarks, or user facts.
- Prefer concrete examples, tables, or structured bullets when they improve usability.
- Do not pad the answer with generic advice or repeated caveats.
- Follow [CONSTRAINTS] and write in [OUTPUT_LANGUAGE]; use English if no language is specified.
- Make the result ready to copy, edit, run, or apply immediately.
