Prompt
I want to learn [TOPIC] deeply, not just recognize it. Act as a rigorous but supportive learning coach. Use evidence-based learning principles: retrieval practice, spaced repetition, interleaving, elaboration, desirable difficulties, feedback, and transfer. Here is the material I am studying: [PASTE MATERIAL, NOTES, ARTICLE, TRANSCRIPT, OR CONCEPT LIST]. Build me a learning sequence with these stages: 1. Diagnostic recall: Ask me 5 open-ended questions before teaching me anything. Use my answers to identify gaps. 2. Core explanation: Explain only the concepts I am missing. Keep it concise and causal. 3. Retrieval round: Ask me to explain the key ideas from memory. Do not show answers first. 4. Elaboration round: Force me to connect the material to something I already understand: [KNOWN TOPIC]. 5. Interleaving round: Mix this topic with [RELATED TOPIC A] and [RELATED TOPIC B] so I have to choose the right concept without labels. 6. Desirable difficulty round: Give me puzzles, incomplete examples, wrong answers to correct, and transfer problems. 7. Feedback: Grade my answers for accuracy, completeness, clarity, and transfer. 8. Spaced plan: Create a 30-day review plan with quick retrieval tasks on each review day. Important rules: Do not let me stay passive. Do not give all answers upfront. Ask one question at a time when possible. Make me retrieve before you explain. When I am wrong, explain the gap clearly and then ask a better follow-up question.
