Your prompt
Build a learning roadmap for backend development with Node.js. My current level: comfortable with JavaScript basics, never built an API. Time available: about 5 hours a week.
Break it into stages — as many as are genuinely needed, don't pad or compress to hit a round number. For each stage give: what to focus on, one project that forces you to use it (not a tutorial to follow), roughly how long it takes at my pace, and a concrete "you're ready for the next stage when..." test I can check myself against. If my stated level and the skill's actual prerequisites don't match, say so before building a roadmap around that gap.
Model-agnostic — works in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or any AI chat.
Why this prompt works
- →Requiring a project instead of a tutorial per stage forces active use of the skill, which is what actually produces the competence a roadmap is supposed to build.
- →A checkable "ready for the next stage" test replaces vague progress markers with something you can self-assess against instead of guessing when to move on.
- →Checking my level against the skill's prerequisites first catches a roadmap built on a mismatch — a common reason learning plans stall in week two.
