Take a breath — this chapter is written to be read like a conversation, not a textbook, so it's easy to follow.
Let's Think About It for a Second
A prompt pack is a little recipe binder — one card, one job. Name, when to use it, what you fill in, where the blank goes. Write the blank like {{notes}}. No need for a fancy name. Worth remembering — chat history isn't a book. Close the browser and it can vanish. Save it in a notes file, Notion, or on paper — anywhere, just save it.
Connect It to Everyday Life
File name — study-prompt-pack.md. Each card: title, When, the prompt text, the blank you fill in. Keep the first pack to 5 cards — Explain, Quiz, Fix My Answer, Compare, I Don't Get This. Those five are enough for one student. Don't copy someone else's pack of 100 — write ones that fit your own subject.

A Quick Heads-Up
Don't copy someone else's prompt pack without reading the names. If it doesn't fit your job, it's just a decorative card.
