AI Prompt — Generate Syllabus Content | CSS Notes

🗣️

How to use: copy the prompt below, fill in the brackets (subject, Notion parent page, syllabus, past papers, scope) and paste it into Claude with Notion connected.

Run the whole-subject plan first, then build one chapter per run.

Always attach the FPSC syllabus and past papers, so past-paper years are never guessed.

After the last chapter, ask: "Build the Past Paper Analysis and Revision Centre now."
1. Master prompt

You are an expert CSS (FPSC, Pakistan) examiner and topper-level note writer, connected to my Notion. Build complete, exam-focused notes for one CSS subject in Notion, using the official FPSC syllabus and past papers I give you. The notes must score high marks, be detailed enough to write any answer from, be neatly formatted, read like a human wrote them, and be easy to revise and memorise.

SUBJECT: [e.g. Gender Studies]
NOTION PARENT PAGE: [link where the subject should be built]
FPSC SYLLABUS: [attach PDF / paste text / link]
PAST PAPERS: [attach PDFs / paste / link — years e.g. 2016–2026]
SCOPE FOR THIS RUN: [whole subject plan / Chapter __ only]

=====================================================
PART A — READ AND PLAN FIRST (do not write notes yet)
=====================================================
1. Read the syllabus word for word. List every chapter and every sub-item.
2. Read every past paper. Map each subjective question and MCQ to its syllabus item (year · Q no. · marks). Use this mapping while writing every page.
3. Check the Notion parent page so nothing is duplicated; update existing pages instead of making new ones.
4. Show me the plan: page tree + question-to-topic mapping. Wait for my "go".

=====================================================
PART B — PAGE ORDER IN NOTION
=====================================================
[Subject] — Hub page
 ├── Chapter I — [name]
 │     ├── I.1 Topic subpage
 │     ├── I.2 Topic subpage
 │     └── Question Bank · Chapter I
 │            └── YEAR · Q no. · question (marks) — model answer subpage
 ├── Chapter II — ...
 ├── ...
 ├── 📊 Past Paper Analysis        ← at the end
 └── 🔁 Revision Centre            ← at the very end

=====================================================
PART C — WHAT EACH PAGE CONTAINS
=====================================================

NAVIGATION RULE (applies to EVERY page in Part C)
- Every page opens with a "🧭 Page Outline" block, right after the title and before any other content.
- It has two parts:
   - Sections on this page: every H2 and H3 heading in order, numbered exactly as on the page (1, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 3...), each clickable (use Notion's Table of Contents block, or links to each heading).
   - Subpages: if the page has ANY subpages, list ALL of them in syllabus/study order, numbered (e.g. III.1, III.2, III.3), each as a clickable page link with a one-line note on what it covers.
- Add a "⬆️ Back to: [parent page]" link at the very top so I can move up one level in one click.
- If a subpage, section or heading is added, renamed or removed later, update the outline in the same run. The outline must always match the page exactly.

1) HUB PAGE
- 🧭 Page Outline (all sections + all chapter pages + Past Paper Analysis + Revision Centre).
- 1. About the paper: marks, Paper I/II split, question pattern (MCQs + subjective, how many to attempt).
- 2. Chapters table: Chapter | Topics | Past-paper frequency | Priority (High / Medium / Low).
- 3. How to use these notes: study order, then revision order.
- 4. Links to Past Paper Analysis and Revision Centre (at the bottom).

2) CHAPTER PAGE (one per syllabus chapter)
- ⬆️ Back to subject hub + 🧭 Page Outline (all sections + all topic subpages + Question Bank).
- 📜 Gray callout: FPSC syllabus for this chapter, exact wording.
- 🗣️ Blue callout: "In simple words" — the chapter in 3–4 plain questions.

3) TOPIC SUBPAGE (one per syllabus item — the DETAILED content)
- ⬆️ Back to chapter + 🧭 Page Outline (all sections; plus all subpages if the topic is split further, e.g. III.2.1, III.2.2).
- 🧠 Blue callout "Key points — 30-second recap": 5–7 bullets, ending with a one-line verdict.
- 1. In simple words: informal plain English, like explaining to a friend, with one everyday or Pakistani example.
- 2. onwards — Detailed theory, numbered sections tagged with past-paper years, e.g. "## 2. Liberal Feminism *(2019 Q3, 2024 Q2)*":
   - 📖 formal definitions with scholar names and years;
   - background / evolution;
   - features, types, models, theories;
   - merits, demerits and criticism;
   - scholarly views and named reports (real ones only).

- 🧠 Memory aids: mnemonic or acronym for every list worth learning + a one-line hook.
- ✍️ Outline bank: 3–5 likely questions, each with an indented outline.
- 📌 Past Paper Questions:
   - Subjective: year · Q · marks — exact question → link to its model answer → key points to reuse.
   - MCQs: full question, all options (A)–(D) → ✅ answer → 1–2 line explanation, including why the trap option is wrong.
- 🎯 Green callout "Exam pattern": how often and in which years this topic came.
- 🎯 CSS Exam Perspective (always last): how to score (answer sequence) · ⚠️ common mistakes · examiner expectations · long-question practice.

4) MODEL ANSWER SUBPAGE (one per past-paper subjective question)
- ⬆️ Back to Question Bank + 🧭 Page Outline (outline → model answer headings → exam perspective).
- Exact question, year, marks.
- What the examiner wants: command words and marks split.

=====================================================
PART D — FORMATTING RULES (every page)
=====================================================
- Page title numbered to match the syllabus (e.g. "III.2 Liberal Feminism"), with one relevant emoji icon.
- 🧭 Page Outline at the top of every page (see Navigation Rule). No page with subpages may be missing it.
- Headings: H2 for main numbered sections (1, 2, 3), H3 for sub-sections (2.1, 2.2). No H1 inside the page. Never skip numbering.
- Bullets for content, nested bullets for detail. One idea per bullet; never two points on one line.
- Bold only the key term at the start of a bullet (e.g. "**Rule of law:** ..."), not whole sentences.
- Callouts with fixed colours:
   - 📜 gray = syllabus
   - 🗣️ / 🧠 blue = simple explanation and key points
   - 🎯 green = exam pattern / examiner's lens
   - ⚠️ red or yellow = common mistakes and traps
- Tables with a header row for every comparison, timeline or frequency list. Keep cells short.
- Divider (---) between major parts of long pages.
- Outlines always properly indented (I → A → 1), never flat.
- Model answers: headings + bullets, with short paragraphs only in intro and conclusion.
- Numericals as step-by-step equations, not code blocks.
- MCQs, vocab and answers shown open, not hidden in toggles.
- Keep spacing clean: no empty bullets, no walls of text, no paragraph longer than 4 lines.

=====================================================
PART E — HUMAN-LIKE WRITING RULES
=====================================================
- Write the way a strong CSS candidate writes in the exam: clear, confident, natural.
- Mix short and medium sentences. Don't start every bullet the same way.
- Use simple, precise words over fancy ones. Explain jargon right after using it.
- Never use: delve, crucial, pivotal, landscape, tapestry, multifaceted, navigate, realm, robust, leverage, foster, moreover, furthermore, "in today's world", "it is important to note", "plays a vital role", "in conclusion, it can be said".
- No dramatic openings, no empty praise, no filler summaries that repeat what was just said.
- Use real examples and named sources instead of vague claims ("experts say").
- Before finishing each page, re-read it and rewrite any line that sounds robotic or generic.

=====================================================
PART F — ACCURACY AND SCOPE
=====================================================
- Detailed in topic subpages; lean in summaries and revision pages.
- Stick to the syllabus and past-paper demand. Cut repetition.
- Never invent facts, quotes, dates, scholars or past-paper questions. If unsure, write [verify]. For current data, search the web and give the as-of date.

=====================================================
PART G — FINAL CHECK
=====================================================
- Every syllabus item has a topic subpage.
- Every past-paper question is mapped, linked and answered.
- Past Paper Analysis and Revision Centre are the last two pages under the subject.
- All links between hub, chapters, topics, answers, analysis and revision work.
- Every page has a ⬆️ back link and a 🧭 Page Outline at the top that lists all its sections and all its subpages, in order, and matches the page exactly.
- Formatting and writing rules followed on every page.
- Report back: pages created, pages updated, items marked [verify], and what to build next.
