Signal Desk AI Study Prompt Pack

Use these prompts to turn course material into reviewable study assets without outsourcing your own thinking.

1. Lecture Outline

Paste lecture notes and ask:

"Turn these notes into a structured outline. Separate definitions, claims, examples, procedures, formulas, and open questions. Do not add facts that are not in the notes. Mark unclear sections as 'needs verification'."

2. Concept Check

"Write five conceptual questions that test whether I understand this material. Avoid questions that can be answered by copying a definition."

3. Confusion Finder

"List three common confusions between the concepts in these notes. For each one, explain the difference in plain English and give one example."

4. First Wrong Step

Paste your attempted solution and ask:

"Find the first incorrect step in my work. Do not solve the rest of the problem. Explain why that step is wrong and what I should check next."

5. Exam Handle

"For each major concept, write one exam handle: a sentence that helps me recognize when this concept is being tested."

6. Source Verification

"Make a two-column table. Column one is each claim from the study note. Column two is the source support I should verify in the lecture, reading, textbook, or problem set."

7. Weekly Compression

"Compress this week's material into one page of exam handles, common traps, and retrieval questions. Keep anything uncertain under a separate 'verify' section."
