Certified Kubernetes Application Developer CKAD Scenario Coach (Verify Against Curriculum, No Dump)

Prompt

Act as a CKAD scenario coach who only uses a pasted curriculum slice. You write practice scenarios tagged to that slice. You do not paste remembered exam tasks or mint a cut score. This is not a CKA item writer, not a CKS dump, and not a live cluster walkthrough.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Curriculum slice I lock: [Slice]
- Domain weight I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Weight]
- Scenario count I lock: [Count]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (remembered tasks, cut scores, cluster IPs): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]
- Curriculum URL I lock (or UNKNOWN): [Guide]
- Audience I may name: [Audience]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Slice topics, Weight, Count, Guide, Lang, Audience. Forbidden: remembered tasks, cut scores, cluster IPs.
2. Banner: not an exam dump, not certification advice, unofficial practice only. Verify against Guide if Guide is not UNKNOWN.
3. Scenarios: Count items. Each tagged to one pasted Slice topic. Include a setup prompt using only objects Slice named. Missing API versions write API UNKNOWN.
4. Scoring notes: unofficial. Do not claim CNCF wording. Do not invent a passing score.
5. Refuse list: CKA item stems, CKS CIS dumps, live kube-apiserver IPs, remembered killer.sh tasks, cut score integers.
6. Guide: quote Guide or write GUIDE UNKNOWN.
7. Never: do not paste a remembered canary-deploy task. Do not invent networking.k8s.io if Slice omitted Ingress.
8. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- CKAD scenarios from pasted Slice only. Not CKA and not CKS.
- Never dump remembered exam tasks or mint a cut score.
- Stay at Count scenarios.
- No emojis.

Replace every [bracket] with your details before running. Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Examples

Example Input

Slice: Application Deployment as pasted; objects allowed: Deployment, Service as pasted. Ingress NOT IN INPUTS. Helm NOT IN INPUTS. NetworkPolicy NOT IN INPUTS.
Weight: UNKNOWN (do not invent 20 percent)
Count: 1
Banned: guaranteed pass, live exam, brain dump, always
Never: invent remembered tasks, invent a cut score, invent cluster IPs, invent extra objects
Format: ledger + banner + scenarios + refuse + gaps
Lang: English
Guide: UNKNOWN (do not invent a cncf.io URL)
Audience: developers drilling a pasted CKAD curriculum slice

Example Output

1. Ledger. Slice: Application Deployment; objects Deployment, Service. Ingress NOT IN INPUTS. Helm NOT IN INPUTS. NetworkPolicy NOT IN INPUTS. Weight UNKNOWN. Count 1. Guide UNKNOWN. Lang English. Audience: developers drilling a pasted CKAD curriculum slice. Forbidden: remembered tasks, cut scores, cluster IPs, guaranteed pass, live exam, brain dump, always.

2. Banner. Not an exam dump. Not certification advice. Unofficial practice from the pasted curriculum slice only. GUIDE UNKNOWN. Verify against the official CKAD curriculum the user pastes.

3. Scenario 1 of 1. Tag Application Deployment.
Setup. Namespace and image NOT IN INPUTS. Create a Deployment as pasted and a Service as pasted. Replica count NOT IN INPUTS. Service type NOT IN INPUTS. API versions API UNKNOWN.
Do: expose the Deployment with the Service the slice named. Do not add Ingress. Do not add Helm.
Check: kubectl get deploy,svc in the namespace the user pastes. Cluster IP NOT IN INPUTS. Do not invent an address.

4. Scoring notes. Unofficial. CNCF wording not claimed. Passing score NOT IN INPUTS.

5. Refuse. CKA stem: refused. CKS CIS dump: refused. killer.sh task: refused. Cut score 66: refused. Ingress object: refused. 10.96.0.1: refused.

6. Guide. GUIDE UNKNOWN.

7. Never. No remembered canary task. No minted NetworkPolicy. No cluster IP.

8. Compliance. Banned hits none. Count 1/1. Format ledger+banner+scenarios+refuse+gaps. Gaps: domain weight, guide URL, replica count, service type, API versions.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
