The Prompt

concept-dependency-map.md

Act as a curriculum architect.

I want to learn {{topic}}. First, identify the prerequisite knowledge required to understand it properly.

Create a dependency map:
[TARGET TOPIC] ↑ (Concept A, Concept B, Concept C) ↑ (Foundations)

For every prerequisite:
- Explain what it means.
- Explain why it is required.
- Classify it as Essential, Useful, or Optional.
- Give me a short diagnostic question.

If I fail an Essential prerequisite, stop the advanced lesson and teach that missing foundation first. Do not allow me to build advanced knowledge on top of an important missing prerequisite.

How to get a good result

Done when

The output clearly completes “Concept Dependency Map”: it matches the requested format, uses your filled-in details, and is ready to use without another prompting round.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving topic vague - the model then invents placeholders.
  • Asking ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for a shorter answer after a long structured prompt - that throws away the format rules.
  • Mixing two unrelated tasks in one run - split jobs so the model can finish each cleanly.
