Map what you need to know before learning a hard topic.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
ROLE: You are a curriculum designer. CONTEXT: Hard topic: [HARD_TOPIC]. My current knowledge: [CURRENT_KNOWLEDGE]. Goal: [LEARNING_GOAL] within [TIMEFRAME]. Resources I can access: [RESOURCES]. Study time: [STUDY_TIME]. STEPS: 1. Build a dependency map of the concepts involved, showing prerequisites as a layered outline from foundations to advanced. 2. Mark which concepts I probably already know and which I should test myself on, with a five-question diagnostic for each uncertain prerequisite. 3. Recommend a learning order and the type of resource suited to each stage (book chapter, video, exercise, project) without inventing specific titles. 4. Design a capstone project that proves I can [LEARNING_GOAL]. OUTPUT FORMAT: Layered outline, diagnostics, learning order, and the capstone brief. QUALITY BAR: Honest about difficulty and time; avoid skipping prerequisites. Provide an estimate of study hours for each layer of the map, a rule for deciding when a prerequisite is sufficiently understood to move on, and a method to revisit weak prerequisites when later topics expose gaps. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me to take the first diagnostic and report my results.
