Create an annotated reading list
Use to get a curated, ordered list of what to read to learn a subject efficiently.
Build me an annotated reading list to learn a subject well.
Subject: {{subject}}
My starting level: {{level}}
Time I can give it: {{time_budget}}
Produce {{item_count}} recommended readings (books, papers, articles, or reputable resources), ordered from foundational to advanced. For each:
- Title and author
- One line on what it covers
- Why it is worth reading and who it suits
- Roughly how demanding it is
Rules:
- Prefer well-regarded, durable sources over hype.
- If you are unsure a specific title exists, mark it [verify] rather than inventing it.
- End with a suggested order and a note on what to skip if short on time.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{subject}}
- {{level}}
- {{time_budget}}
- {{item_count}}
