Cheat Sheet Generation Guide
Structure information into a cheat sheet by selecting relevant modules, adhering to quality standards, and using specific, actionable, and precise language.
Core Principles
- Specificity: Use concrete numbers, names, dates, and examples.
- Actionability: Ensure every point is immediately usable.
- Depth: Surface non-obvious insights.
- Precision: One dense sentence is better than three vague ones.
- Voice: Use active voice and strong verbs.
Action Steps
- 1. Analyze source content for key themes and data.
- 2. Select 4-8 relevant modules (e.g., corePrinciples, actionSteps, statistics, diagrams).
- 3. Populate selected modules with specific, actionable, and precise information from the source.
- 4. Ensure all content adheres to quality standards (specificity, actionability, depth, precision, voice).
- 5. Include a title, bigIdea, estimatedDuration, category, isSafeForPublic, and pexelsSearchQuery.
- 6. If quantitative data exists, generate appropriate diagrams (pie, bar, line).
- 7. Format all output as a single, valid JSON object.
Key Terms
- bigIdea: A 1-2 sentence summary capturing the single most important insight of the content, designed to be quotable.
- corePrinciples: The absolute most important concepts presented as bullet points, focusing on key takeaways.
- actionSteps: A numbered list of imperative commands detailing how to implement the information, including the intended outcome.
- pexelsSearchQuery: 2-3 highly specific keywords for finding a compelling visual on Pexels, evoking the topic's essence.
Pro Tips
- Surface non-obvious insights that would surprise even a knowledgeable person.
- Cut filler words ruthlessly to achieve dense, precise sentences.
- For formulas, use proper LaTeX syntax including Greek letters, subscripts, and superscripts.
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Vagueness: Writing generalities like 'it's important to...' instead of specific actions.
- Lack of Actionability: Providing information that cannot be acted upon immediately.
- Irrelevant Modules: Forcing modules that do not fit the source content.
- Exceeding Page Budget: Including too much information, making the cheat sheet unwieldy.
