Gantt, timeline, kanban, heatmap, concentric circle, staircase, progress ring — each with a copy-ready prompt, plus an exam-coach Skill.
Why Multiple Plan Formats?
Different exams, stages, and people call for different plan formats. Below are 7 styles of planners, each with a copy-ready prompt — hand it to AI and get a plan.
| Format | Trait | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Gantt chart | Time on X, tasks on Y | Multi-module long-horizon plans |
| Timeline | Milestones left to right | Linear prep processes |
| Kanban | To-do / doing / done columns | Flexible task management |
| Heatmap | Color depth shows effort | Long-term self-discipline tracking |
| Concentric circle | Core → outer layers | Goal → sub-goals → daily tasks hierarchy |
| Staircase | Easy to hard, step by step | Difficulty-progressive strategies |
| Progress ring | Ring per subject | Multi-subject parallel management |
Format 1: Classic Gantt Chart
The most classic format — time on the X axis, tasks on the Y; see "what happens when" at a glance.
| Task module | Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic | ████████ | ████████ | ||||||
| Targeted drill | ████████ | ████████ | ████████ | ████████ | ||||
| Mock sprint | ████████ | ████████ | ████████ | |||||
| Gap filling | ████████ | ████████ | ||||||
| Pre-exam mock | ████████ | ████████ |
Generate a Gantt-format exam prep plan:
Exam: [exam name]
Total duration: [X] days
Subjects/modules: [list all modules]
Requirements:
1. X axis is time (by week), Y axis is task modules
2. Mark start/end for each module
3. Distinguish modules with colors
4. Mark key milestones
5. Output as a Markdown tableFormat 2: Timeline
Best for linear prep processes, showing each phase's milestones left to right.
Diagnose (Day 1-7) → Foundation (Day 8-21) → Drill (Day 22-35) → Mock (Day 36-45) → Sprint (Day 46-60)
Generate an exam-prep timeline:
Exam date: [date]
Today: [date]
Subject: [subject]
Requirements:
1. Show prep phases left to right
2. Mark start/end dates and core tasks per phase
3. Mark key milestones (e.g., "first review round done")
4. Mark each phase's status with emoji (🔴 in progress / 🟡 pending / 🟢 done)Format 3: Kanban Board
Best for flexible task management — three columns make progress clear at a glance.
| 📋 To do | 🔄 Doing | ✅ Done |
|---|---|---|
| Function domain (2h est.) | Monotonicity (60%) | Set operations (1.5h · 90%) |
| Derivative applications (3h est.) | Trig functions (40%) | Complex numbers (1h · 100%) |
| Series summation (2h est.) | Vector basics (2h · 85%) |
Generate a kanban-format study plan:
Subject: [subject]
Task list: [list all tasks]
Requirements:
1. Three columns: "to do / doing / done"
2. Mark estimated time per task
3. Show progress percentage for in-progress tasks
4. Mark accuracy for completed tasks
5. Output as a Markdown tableFormat 4: Study Heatmap
Color depth intuitively shows daily study effort — great for long-term discipline tracking. Take a 4-week × 7-day grid: each cell's color represents that day's input (light → dark = less → more); the densest and laziest weeks jump out instantly.
Generate study heatmap data:
Prep period: [X] days
Daily study-time records: [paste or describe]
Requirements:
1. Output a 7×N grid layout (7 columns = one week)
2. Use color depth for study duration/intensity
3. Mark weekly total and daily average hours
4. Highlight the densest and sparsest weeksFormat 5: Concentric Circle (Core → Outer)
Expands from the core goal to concrete actions — ideal for clarifying "goal → sub-goals → daily tasks".
Take Gaokao math (target 135+) as an example: the innermost layer is the goal; the middle layer holds sub-goals (functions, derivatives, geometry); the outermost layer holds daily tasks (preview 20min, drill 30min, review 15min).
Generate a concentric-circle study plan:
Overall goal: [goal description]
Sub-goals: [list 3-5]
Daily tasks per sub-goal: [list]
Requirements:
1. Innermost: overall goal (core)
2. Middle: 3-5 sub-goals
3. Outermost: concrete daily tasks per sub-goal
4. Distinguish layers with colorsFormat 6: Staircase (Easy to Hard)
Best for difficulty-progressive strategies — each step builds on the previous one.
- Memory layer — memorize formulas, definitions, concepts
- Simple application layer — direct formula use, standard question types
- Integrated application layer — multi-point chaining, cross-chapter
- Hard-question layer — final problems, novel questions, variants
- Mock layer — timed exams, predictions
Generate a staircase exam-prep plan:
Subject: [subject]
Current level: [describe]
Target level: [describe]
Requirements:
1. Five steps: memory → simple application → integrated application → hard questions → mock exams
2. List 3-5 concrete tasks per step
3. Mark estimated time per step
4. Mark the "pass condition" to advance to the next stepFormat 7: Progress Ring
Ring progress bars show each subject's completion — best for multi-subject parallel management, instantly revealing which subject lags.
E.g., Math 75% · English 60% · Chinese 90% · Physics 45% · Chemistry 30% — chemistry clearly lags; prioritize it.
Generate a multi-subject progress tracker:
Subjects: [list all]
Progress percentage per subject: [fill in]
Requirements:
1. Show each subject as a progress ring
2. Mark each subject's weak points
3. Give priority advice for lagging subjects
4. Output in MarkdownAcceptance Checklist: What You Can Do After This Lesson

- Adapt the multi-scenario cases to your own exam
Skill Pack: Make AI Remember Your Prep Rules
A Skill is a .md text file defining AI's role, rules, and workflow. "Feed" it to AI, and AI becomes your dedicated prep coach.
Three advantages of Skills:
- Write once, reuse forever — write once, invoke every time
- Cross-platform — works with any AI tool
- Continuously improving — keeps getting better with use
Here is a minimal working example of an exam-coach Skill:
# Exam Coach Skill
## Role
You are a professional learning planner skilled at:
- Time management (Pomodoro / time blocks)
- Cognitive science (spaced repetition / active recall)
- Exam strategy (prioritization / score maximization)
## Workflow
1. Understand the user's goal, time, and base
2. Generate a phased plan
3. Push daily tasks + generate questions
4. Weekly review + adjustment
## Output rules
- Tables over prose
- Mark difficulty stars on every output
- Always reply in Chinese
- Encourage, don't lectureYou can also directly install the ready-made 学习规划 skill from this course — ready out of the box.
