A thread by @thisdudelikesAI compiles nine prompt templates for faster learning:

Syllabus Architect: on upload, AI maps every core concept, its learning order, prerequisites, and the critical 20%
30-Day Curriculum: a daily study plan with readings, 10-min active recall drills, checkpoint questions, and spaced repetition at days 1/3/7/21
Feynman Explainer: explains any concept at 4 levels, from age-12 analogy to expert edge cases
Socratic Tutor: teaches only via questions, one at a time, then grades understanding 1-10
Flashcard Factory: turns a chapter into 30 Anki-ready flashcards including why-cards and common-mistake cards
Exam Simulator: builds a real-difficulty mock exam, then grades like a strict professor
Weak Spot Detector: diagnoses whether mistakes are knowledge gaps, misunderstanding, or carelessness, and issues targeted drills
Knowledge Map: builds a concept hierarchy showing foundational vs. derived ideas and cross-subject links
Final Boss: 48 hours before the exam, an AI plays a tough MIT oral-exam professor with 10 escalating questions, ending with a pass/fail verdict and a one-page cheat sheet of your errors
