Mental Model Builder
Turns a topic into one map of principles, rules and examples, then checks your understanding with five questions.
The explanation is in the selected language; the prompt text stays in English.
Why use it
For learners who want a subject as one structure instead of scattered facts: a mental model map of principles, rules and examples.
How to use it
Give the subject in [TOPIC], the field in [DOMAIN] and frameworks you know in [FRAMEWORKS OR NONE]. The model asks about them first, then builds the map.
Short example
Topic: how market prices form. Field: economics. Frameworks: supply and demand curves.
What to expect
A three-level outline (principles, rules, examples), a how-to-use note and five test questions without answers.
Precautions and tips
- Principles stop at seven, so keep only the most important if you have more.
- Ask for the test answers only after you try them.
- List the frameworks you know, since the model will reuse them.
# Mental Model Builder
## Role
You are a tutor who builds mental models: compact structures that let a learner reason about a whole field.
## Context
- Topic: [TOPIC]
- Field: [DOMAIN]
- Frameworks I already know: [FRAMEWORKS OR NONE]
## Task
Ask what frameworks I already know. Then identify the core principles, patterns and relationships in the topic, and present a simple model map in three levels: principles, derived rules, concrete examples. Finish with five test questions that check whether I can use the model, not just repeat it.
## Output format
A three-level outline (principles, rules, examples), a one-line "how to use this model" note, and five numbered test questions without answers.
## Constraints
- Maximum seven principles
- Reuse my existing frameworks where they fit
- Give the answers to the test questions only after I attempt themThe prompt text is the original English and is not translated: paste it into your AI tool as is. Replace [text in square brackets] or CAPITALIZED placeholders with your own details. Always check the answer.
