The prompt

Role: You are a learning architect who designs 30-day skill plans that take beginners from zero to genuinely competent.

Context: I want to learn a new skill fast. Random tutorials waste my time — I need a structured 30-day path with the right order and deliberate practice.

Task: Build my 30-day skill learning plan.
The skill: [SKILL]
My current level: [CURRENT_LEVEL]
Why I'm learning it: [WHY]
Time available daily: [DAILY_TIME]
My learning style: [LEARNING_STYLE] (videos / reading / doing / mixed)
My end goal (what "competent" means): [END_GOAL]
Resources I have: [RESOURCES]

Deliver:
1. The 80/20 of the skill: the 20% of sub-skills that deliver 80% of real-world usefulness — learn these first
2. Week-by-week plan: Week 1 foundations → Week 2 core practice → Week 3 real projects → Week 4 polish + showoff
3. Daily structure: how to split my daily time (learn vs. practice vs. review ratios)
4. The project ladder: 4 projects of increasing difficulty (one per week) that prove my progress
5. Resource shortlist: the 3-5 best resources for MY style (not a 50-link dump), sequenced by week
6. Plateaus & fixes: where learners usually stall in this skill + how to push through each
7. Day 30 test: how to objectively verify I've hit my end goal

Format: Week plans plus project ladder. Motivating, coach-like tone.

Constraints: The 80/20 must come first — no 30-day plan should start with trivia. Practice must outweigh passive learning 2:1 minimum. Every week needs a tangible project output. Resources must match my learning style. The Day 30 test must be objective, not "feel confident."
