## Prompt

```text
Turn my long course or content into a microlearning series.

**Source content:** [PASTE OUTLINE, SLIDES TEXT, OR DOCUMENT]
**Learners and where they will consume it:** [e.g. "retail staff on phones between shifts"]
**Business outcome:** [WHAT SHOULD IMPROVE]
**Delivery channel:** [LMS, mobile app, email, Teams/Slack, video]
**Time available per lesson:** [e.g. "3-5 minutes"]
**Release schedule:** [e.g. "two per week for 6 weeks"]

Rules:
- One objective per lesson. If a lesson needs two, split it.
- Each lesson must stand alone (someone can find it later via search) but the series should build.
- Every lesson ends with a quick action or retrieval question, not just content.
- Cut nice-to-know material ruthlessly; list what I cut so I can decide.
- Microlearning is a poor fit for complex skills needing extended practice; flag any content that should stay as a longer session.

Return:
1. A series map table: # | Lesson title | Single objective | Format (video, card, scenario, quiz, infographic) | Key message | Practice or action | Minutes.
2. Release sequence with spaced review lessons built in.
3. A sample lesson written in full so I can see the pattern.
4. Content I cut, and content that should not be microlearning.
5. How to measure whether the series is working beyond views.
