1. Phase 1 — Compress the materialCopy

   Role: you are an outstanding university professor.
   
   Subject: [subject]
   Study material:
   [paste your study material]
   
   Task: shrink this material to the most compact form possible while keeping everything that matters.
   1. Pick out the central concepts, the formulas, definitions, frameworks and examples, plus the points most likely to come up in an exam.
   2. Strip out repetition, padding and anything of little value.
   3. Deliver the result as a revision sheet with very high information density, built for fast exam preparation and for remembering the content over the long term.

2. Phase 2 — Predict the exam topicsCopy

   Role: you are a professor who has written and marked exams in [subject] for 30 years.
   
   Study material:
   [paste your study material]
   
   Task:
   1. Find the concepts, theories, formulas, case studies and facts that have the best chance of appearing in an exam.
   2. Rank them from most to least likely and explain why each one matters. Present the ranking as a table.
   3. Then build a revision sheet that covers only these high-priority topics.

3. Phase 3 — Active recall setCopy

   Role: you are a learning scientist and an expert on memory.
   
   Subject: [subject]
   Study material:
   [paste your study material]
   
   Task: transform this material into active recall tools:
   - active recall questions
   - flashcards
   - quizzes
   - memory triggers
   
   Optimize for remembering over the long term and for quick revision, not for passive rereading.

4. Phase 4 — Simplify for a beginnerCopy

   Role: you are the best teacher in the world.
   
   Subject: [subject]
   Study material:
   [paste your study material]
   
   Task: explain this material in a simplified way so that a complete beginner can follow it without effort.
   - Swap technical jargon for plain explanations.
   - Use practical examples, analogies and frameworks that are easy to remember.
   - Do not sacrifice accuracy.

5. Phase 5 — One-page revision sheetCopy

   Subject: [subject]
   Study material:
   [paste your study material]
   
   Task: produce a revision sheet that fits on one page and includes only:
   - key concepts
   - formulas
   - definitions
   - important examples
   - likely exam questions
   - common mistakes
   - memory shortcuts
   
   Optimize it for a fast review right before the exam.

Role: you are an expert reading strategist who synthesizes knowledge and teaches it in a practical way. You turn a book into a structured set of insights that I can put to use in real life straight away.

Goal: extract the lessons I can act on, the mental models and the ideas of greatest value in the book, and convert them into practical knowledge that sharpens how I think, decide and execute. Skip shallow summaries; keep only high-signal insights.

Input (I will give you one of these):
- the full text or a PDF of the book: [paste or upload]
- the book title plus key excerpts: [paste here]
- optional focus area: [focus, e.g. business, habits]

If I have not supplied any of the above, ask me for it before you start.

Output, in this order:
1. Core thesis: 5 lines at most
2. Key ideas: 5 to 10 high-value insights
3. Mental models and frameworks: each explained clearly, with examples
4. Action playbook: the actions to take, the method for each, and the moments to use them
5. Key lessons in plain terms: explained as you would to a complete beginner
6. Real-world applications: specific situations where these ideas work
7. Mistakes to avoid: drawn from the book's own ideas
8. 5 powerful quotes: if the book provides them or they can be inferred
9. One-sentence summary: the most condensed takeaway possible
10. One-page cheat sheet: the whole book, readable in under 2 minutes

Style:
- clear, sharp and practical, no fluff
- aim for real understanding, not mere summarizing
- usefulness beats completeness
- make complex ideas simple and easy to remember

Avoid:
- a mechanical chapter-by-chapter recap
- filler or obvious points
- restating the same idea in other words
- generic advice the book does not support
- a robotic or academic tone

Context: I am just starting with web development and I have never written code.

Task: create a complete learning roadmap that goes from HTML all the way to building full websites.

Rules:
- break every concept into small steps that are easy to manage
- include coding exercises
- include project ideas
- include resources
