Sharpen vague learning goals into testable ones.

Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Audit my learning goals. The goals as written: [LEARNING_GOALS]. My deadline and weekly time: [DEADLINE_AND_TIME]. How I will use the skill: [USE_CASE]. Resources I have: [RESOURCES].

For each goal assess specificity, measurability, realism given my time, relevance to my use case, and a finish line. Convert each into a testable outcome ('by 30 June I can hold a 10-minute conversation about daily life in Spanish with a tutor and pass a mock test at 70 percent'). Estimate the hours needed as a range with assumptions and compare with the hours available, showing the arithmetic. Identify goals that conflict for time and suggest an order. Add checkpoints at 25, 50 and 75 percent with evidence of progress.

Do not claim exact hours to master anything; present estimates as assumptions to adjust.

Add a worked rewrite from 'learn data analysis' to 'build and present a dashboard from a public dataset by 31 August using 5 hours a week (about 60 hours), judged by a friend using a three-point checklist', and the checkpoints at 25, 50 and 75 percent.
