Make your own guide · Study Guide

Turn any topic into a guide you can work through and tick off. An AI assistant writes the guide file and you upload it here. Study Guide itself runs no AI.

Copy the instructions below.
Paste them into any AI assistant. Replace the line in square brackets with what you want to learn, what you know already and how much time you have.
Save the AI's answer as a text file ending in .md, for example my-guide.md.
On Guides, tap Upload a guide and choose the file. If anything doesn't follow the template, the upload lists each problem; ask the AI to fix them and upload again.

Instructions for the AI

Write a study guide for me as one Markdown file. I'll upload it to an app that checks it follows the template below exactly, so follow every rule.

What I want to learn: [the topic, what I know already, and how many hours a week I have]

Template rules:
1. The first line is the guide's title, starting with "# ".
2. Next, one short paragraph saying what the guide covers.
3. Sections such as "## How to use this guide" can come before the stages. They're shown as reading material.
4. Each stage starts with a heading written like "## Stage 0 — Set up your tools": "## Stage", the stage number, a dash, then the stage's title. Number the stages in order, starting at 0 or 1, and go from beginner to confident.
5. Straight under each stage heading, write one line starting "Goal:" that says what the stage achieves.
6. Then teach the stage: short paragraphs and lists in plain words.
7. Exercises are checklist lines starting "- [ ] ". Each is one practical task to tick off. A stage can have none.
8. To group exercises, put a line in bold above them, such as "**Interview readiness:**". The exercises below it belong to that group until the next bold line or the checkpoint.
9. End every stage with exactly one line starting "**Checkpoint:**", followed by what I can do once the stage is done. Every stage has one, and only one.
10. After the last stage, add "## Resources" with links to official documentation and free courses. Only include links you're sure exist.
11. Use "## Stage" only for stage headings, and "**Checkpoint:**" only for each stage's checkpoint line.

A short example of the format:

# Example Guide — Beginner to Confident

One short paragraph: what this guide teaches, who it's for and roughly how long it takes.

## How to use this guide

- Work through the stages in order.
- Each stage ends with a checkpoint. Move on once you can do it without help.

## Stage 0 — Set up your tools

Goal: everything installed and working.

1. Install the tool from its official website.
2. Open it once to check it runs.

- [ ] Install the tool.
- [ ] Run it once and see it work.

**Checkpoint:** you can open the tool and use it without help.

## Stage 1 — The basics

Goal: understand the core ideas and use them.

Explain the ideas here in short paragraphs and lists, in plain words.

Practice exercises:

- [ ] A small practical task.
- [ ] Another task that builds on the first.

**Interview readiness:**

- [ ] Explain the core idea out loud in two minutes.

**Checkpoint:** you can use the basics without notes.

## Resources

- Official documentation: https://example.com/docs

Give me the whole guide as one Markdown file, starting with the title line.
