Found on Reddit, tested by thousands. This is the most complete learning prompt I have come across — it does not just give you advice, it builds you a full structured system.
Fill in your details, paste it into ChatGPT or Claude, and get back a personalized learning roadmap in under a minute.
The Prompt
Copy this exactly. Fill in the five variables at the top.
[SUBJECT] = Topic or skill you want to learn [CURRENT_LEVEL] = Your starting level (beginner / intermediate / advanced) [TIME_AVAILABLE] = Hours per week you can dedicate [LEARNING_STYLE] = How you learn best (visual / reading / hands-on / mixed) [GOAL] = What you want to be able to do at the end
Using the variables above, do the following:
Step 1 - Knowledge Assessment Break [SUBJECT] into core components. Map prerequisites and dependencies. Identify what I need to know first. Output a skill tree showing what builds on what.
Step 2 - Learning Path Create a progression from [CURRENT_LEVEL] to [GOAL]. Structure topics in optimal learning sequence. Estimate time per topic aligned with [TIME_AVAILABLE]. Output a roadmap with realistic timeframes.
Step 3 - Resource List Find the best learning materials for [LEARNING_STYLE] - courses, books, articles, exercises. Rank by effectiveness. Output a prioritized resource list.
Step 4 - Practice Plan Design exercises for each topic. Create real-world application scenarios. Add spaced repetition checkpoints. Output a practice schedule.
Step 5 - Progress Tracking Define measurable milestones. Create assessment criteria. Output a simple tracking template I can use weekly.
Step 6 - Study Schedule Break everything into daily and weekly tasks based on [TIME_AVAILABLE]. Balance theory and practice. Output a concrete schedule I can start this week.*
Example - How to Fill It In
[SUBJECT] = Negotiation skills for business development [CURRENT_LEVEL] = Intermediate - I negotiate regularly but want to be more structured [TIME_AVAILABLE] = 3 hours per week [LEARNING_STYLE] = Reading and hands-on practice [GOAL] = Handle complex multi-party deals confidently within 3 months
Paste that into Claude or ChatGPT and you get a complete 3-month learning system in one response.
