Build a personalized learning pathway
An adaptive learning path based on a learner's role, level, and goals.
The prompt
Role: Act as a learning experience designer building an adaptive pathway.
Context: Target role or capability: [TARGET]. Learner starting points that exist: [STARTING_POINTS]. Available content and modalities: [CONTENT_LIBRARY]. Time expectation: [TIME_EXPECTATION]. Definition of 'done' for the pathway: [COMPLETION_DEF]. Constraints: [CONSTRAINTS].
Task: Design: an entry diagnostic and how its results route learners; a core spine everyone does; branch modules by starting point or goal; checkpoints with pass criteria; on-the-job application tasks; and manager touchpoints. Show the branching logic explicitly.
Format: Sections: Diagnostic & routing | Core spine | Branches (table: condition -> modules) | Checkpoints | Application tasks | Manager touchpoints. ~500 words.
Verification: Ensure every branch condition leads somewhere and every learner reaches the completion definition. Flag branches with no content to support them.
Validation: Trace two personas (novice, experienced) through the pathway: is each path the right length and not repetitive? Adjust.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RCTFVV structure (Role, Context, Task, Format, Verification, Validation). RCTFVV extends RCTF with two checking steps. Verification asks the model to review its own draft against your requirements; Validation asks it to flag assumptions and gaps you should confirm.
