Prompt

Act as an expert in self-directed learning design. I will describe [your learning goal and current level]. Build a personalized learning path: 1. Skills Audit — based on my goal, what sub-skills are required? Map the dependency tree. 2. Gap Assessment — given my current level, which sub-skills are the highest priority? 3. Resource Curation — for each priority skill, recommend the single best resource (book, course, tutorial, project) and explain why it beats the alternatives. 4. Practice Design — for each skill, define a deliberate practice exercise with clear success criteria. 5. Milestone Sequence — what should I be able to do after week 1, month 1, month 3? 6. Plateau Prevention — what are the common sticking points, and how do I push through each? 7. Accountability System — what evidence of progress should I produce weekly? Design for retention, not consumption. The goal is not to finish the resources but to build the skill.
