Learning Plan Generator

The 'assume 20% forgetting' instruction produces realistic timelines instead of the optimistic schedules AI models typically generate. Works consistently across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.

Prompt
Create a learning plan for {{skill_or_topic}}.

My current level: {{current_level}}
Time available: {{hours_per_week}} hours/week for {{duration}}
Learning style: {{learning_preference}}
Goal: {{specific_goal}}

Structure the plan as:
- **Week-by-week breakdown** with specific topics and estimated time per topic
- **Resources** for each week (describe the type of resource, e.g., "interactive tutorial on X" — don't invent URLs)
- **Milestones**: What I should be able to do after each phase
- **Practice projects**: One hands-on project per phase that builds on the previous one
- **Assessment**: How to know when I'm ready to move to the next phase

Make it realistic — account for review time and assume I'll forget 20% between sessions.

Context-Aware Code Completion

Providing the surrounding code and project context lets the model match existing patterns exactly. The constraint against modifying existing code prevents unwanted side effects.

Inline Code Suggestion

Constraining suggestions to match existing style and scope produces insertions that feel native to the codebase. The 'no explanation' rule mimics real inline completion behavior.

Code Explanation

The audience level parameter adjusts complexity automatically. Requiring a usage example ensures the explanation is practical, not just theoretical.
