What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to create a personalized, practical language-learning plan using the learner’s target language, current level, goals, available daily time, learning style, and timeframe. The AI outputs a structured daily and weekly schedule allocating time across vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading, and writing, plus level-appropriate video recommendations with progressive difficulty and specific video-based exercises (shadowing, dictation, oral/written summaries). It also includes periodic checkpoints with video-based progress measures (e.g., reducing subtitles, real-time summarizing) and finishes with motivation strategies to help the learner stay consistent.

Models and options
This skill's modality is: text.
To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Required text inputs:
TimeframeAvailable_Time_Per_Day
- Optional text inputs (use defaults if not provided by the human):
Current_Level(default:Beginner)Learning_Goal(default:Conversational fluency)Learning_Style(default:Visual)Target_Language(default:English)
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gpt-4.1-miniand its available options. Look upgpt-4.1-miniin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"text") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gpt-4.1-mini, options{}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use direct-flow-language-learning-plan).
Command form:
betterprompt generate direct-flow-language-learning-plan \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate
--input <key>=<value>flag. - If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gpt-4.1-mini. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate direct-flow-language-learning-plan \
--input Timeframe=<value> \
--input Current_Level=Beginner \
--input 'Learning_Goal=Conversational fluency ' \
--input 'Learning_Style=Visual ' \
--input Target_Language=English \
--input Available_Time_Per_Day=<value> \
--model gpt-4.1-mini \
--options '{}'
