Originality Review Prompt Generator
This tool does not scan for plagiarism — it builds the prompt you use to review originality yourself. Tell it what you are checking and it generates a structured four-point instruction: flag passages that read as copied or closely paraphrased, identify facts, figures, and quotes missing citations, suggest where to cite or rephrase, and rate overall originality from 1 (heavily derivative) to 5 (highly original) with reasons. A placeholder marks where to paste your text, and a built-in note reminds you this is a checklist, not a detection service. The prompt works two ways: as a personal checklist you walk through against your own draft, or as a ready-made instruction for an AI assistant — paste the prompt plus your text into ChatGPT, Claude, or a local model and let it work the four points. Students run it before submitting, bloggers before publishing. It cannot compare your work against a database of existing text, so for formal academic checks pair it with a dedicated detection tool — and cite your sources either way.

FAQ
does this detect plagiarism
No. It generates a self-review checklist to guide your own audit; it cannot compare your text against a database of existing work. For formal plagiarism checks, use a dedicated detection service and cite all your sources.
what do the four checklist points cover
Flagging passages that read as copied or closely paraphrased, identifying facts, figures, and quotes that lack citations, suggesting where to add citations or rephrase in your own words, and rating overall originality from 1 to 5 with reasons. Your subject is written into the prompt so it reads as a complete instruction.
can i use the generated prompt with any ai assistant
Yes — copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other assistant along with the text you want reviewed. It is written as a standalone instruction, so no extra context is needed, and you can run it through a local model if privacy matters.
when should i still use a real plagiarism checker
Whenever the stakes are formal: coursework with academic-integrity policies, journal submissions, or client deliverables with originality clauses. This prompt improves your own review habits, but only a database-backed checker can tell you whether matching text already exists elsewhere.
