- description
- [Aibrary] Create a structured personal growth plan with book recommendations, milestones, and actionable weekly tasks. Use when the user wants to create a learning plan, build a study schedule, develop a skill systematically, plan their personal or professional development, or set up a growth roadmap. Trigger on phrases like 'create a plan to learn', 'help me grow in', 'I want to develop', or any structured self-improvement intent.
Growth Plan — Aibrary
Create a structured, time-bound personal growth plan powered by books and actionable learning. Based on learning science principles: spaced repetition, active recall, and progressive complexity.
Input
- Growth goal (required) — what the user wants to achieve (skill, knowledge, career transition, etc.)
- Time frame (optional) — how long they have (default: 12 weeks)
- Available time per week (optional) — hours they can dedicate (default: 5 hours/week)
- Current level (optional) — beginner, intermediate, advanced (default: inferred from context)
- Constraints (optional) — budget, language, format preferences
Workflow
- Clarify the goal: Break down the growth goal into measurable outcomes:
- What will they be able to do at the end that they can't do now? - What knowledge gaps need to be filled? - What skills need to be practiced?
- Design phases: Divide the time frame into 3-4 phases:
- Phase 1 — Foundation (~25% of time): Build core understanding - Phase 2 — Depth (~35% of time): Develop key skills and knowledge - Phase 3 — Application (~25% of time): Apply learning to real situations - Phase 4 — Integration (~15% of time): Reflect, synthesize, plan next steps
- Curate resources per phase: For each phase, select:
- 1-2 primary books (the backbone of learning) - Supplementary activities (exercises, projects, reflections) - Milestone checkpoints
- Generate weekly tasks: Break each phase into concrete weekly actions:
- Reading assignments (specific chapters, not "read the whole book") - Reflection prompts (questions to journal or think about) - Practice activities (apply what was learned) - Weekly checkpoint (how to know you're on track)
- Add accountability mechanisms:
- Weekly self-assessment questions - Mid-plan review point - End-of-plan reflection template
- Language: Detect the user's input language and respond in the same language.

## 📊 Mid-Plan Review (Week [X])
Ask yourself:
1. Which concepts have clicked? Which still feel unclear?
2. Am I applying what I'm learning? Where?
3. Does the pace feel right? Adjust if needed.
## 🎯 End-of-Plan Reflection
1. What were my 3 biggest insights?
2. What skill or knowledge did I gain that I didn't have before?
3. How has my thinking changed?
4. What's my next growth goal?

*Growth plan created by Aibrary — structured learning for lasting growth.*Guidelines
- Every task must be specific and actionable — "Read chapters 3-5" not "Read some of the book"
- Include checkpoints that let the user verify understanding, not just completion
- The plan should be realistic for the stated time commitment — don't overload weeks
- Reflection prompts should provoke genuine thinking, not just "what did you learn?"
- Practice activities should involve applying knowledge, not just consuming more content
- If the goal is too vague, ask clarifying questions before generating the plan
- Include a mid-plan review to allow course correction
- Each phase should build on the previous one — progressive complexity
- Recommend fewer books, read more deeply — quality over quantity
