LearningRefresher plan

Re-enter a subject after a long break

Use to efficiently get back up to speed on something you learned before but have mostly forgotten.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a refresher coach. I learned {{subject}} a while ago but have forgotten most of it. I need it back for {{reason}}.

What I vaguely remember: {{vague_memory}}. Time I can spend: {{time_available}}.

Do this:
1. Quick diagnostic: ask me 5 questions to find what survived and what is gone, and wait for my answers.
2. Based on my answers, map what I can skim (just refresh) versus what I must relearn properly.
3. Build a time-boxed refresher plan prioritizing what I need for {{reason}}.
4. Give me the 10 highest-leverage facts or skills to reactivate first.

Do not re-teach from zero; leverage the dormant knowledge. Start with the diagnostic questions.
