Use this when turning a week into a single study visual.
The aim is to make recall faster, not to decorate the syllabus.
Prompt recipes
Concepts
- What is the one idea the learner must remember?
- What is the cleanest visual structure for that idea?
- What should be excluded so the visual stays legible?

- What is the final check?
Duration / path / outcome
- What is the start state?
- What are the intermediate stages?
- What is the exact end state?
Stages / phases / spectrum
- What belongs on the left end?
- What belongs on the right end?
- What changes between them?
Jargon
- Which words deserve a mini lexicon?
- Which terms are easily confused?
Refresher

Image prompt skeleton
Use this skeleton for image generation or diagram drafting:
[Course] [Week], [topic], [learner level], [visual format], [style lane], [one accent], [main takeaway], [what to exclude]Example:
Python Week 8, file I/O and CSV flow, first-time learner, flowchart, Raycast lane, amber accent, show header, parse, write, and trap points, exclude clutter and extra code blocksAnti-patterns
- Do not make one image carry multiple weeks unless it is a revision map.
- Do not use a card wall when one diagram is enough.
- Do not hide the answer inside decorative art.
- Do not use tiny unlabeled icons as the main explanation.
- Do not make a visual that cannot survive a quick exam glance.
