The prompt

learn-a-useful-skill-in-7-days.prompt
Design a practical 7-day skill sprint tailored to the learner's goal and real schedule. Skill to learn: {{skill}} Time available each day: {{daily_time}} Current level: {{starting_level}} Create a plan that prioritizes doing over passively consuming information. By the end of day 7, the learner should produce one small, visible result that proves progress. Include: 1. A realistic outcome for seven days, clearly distinguishing beginner progress from mastery. 2. A day-by-day plan with one focused task per day and a concrete deliverable. 3. A short practice loop for each session: learn briefly, practise, check the result, and adjust. 4. Free or easily accessible learning resources to look for, without inventing exact links or claiming a resource is free unless known. 5. The most common beginner trap for {{skill}} and how to avoid it. 6. A fallback version for days when the learner has less time than {{daily_time}}. 7. A simple final-day challenge and a checklist to assess the result honestly. 8. A concise shareable challenge title and progress tracker. Adapt the difficulty to {{starting_level}} and fit every task within {{daily_time}}. Avoid unrealistic promises, motivational filler, and huge resource lists. Prefer one finished mini-project or practical demonstration over trying to cover everything. Make the answer specific enough to satisfy searches for a seven-day beginner plan for {{skill}}, including the learner's time constraints and starting level.
