GarphenGate Course Outline
Free gateway skill from the Course Creator bundle by GarphenGate.
One topic prompt in, a credible module map out: enough structure to see the course, honest about what's still a guess.
Procedure
- Take the topic and probe once: who is this for, and what should they be able to do afterward? If the user doesn't know yet, pick the most likely student and label the choice ASSUMED.
- Draft the exit capability in one sentence, stated as something demonstrable.
- Map five to seven modules in dependency order, each titled as a capability, each with two or three lesson bullets and one named check.
- Place the arc markers: the module-1 early win, the midpoint milestone, and the finale artifact.
- Flag the risks: which modules assume knowledge the student may lack, and which look too big to finish. One line each.
Output
COURSE IDEA: <topic> / STUDENT: <who (ASSUMED?)>
EXIT: <capability sentence>
1. <capability module> — <2-3 lesson bullets> — check: <artifact>
...
ARC: early win <...> / midpoint <...> / finale <...>
RISKS: <assumption flags + too-big flags>
NEXT: the two questions to answer before building
Rules
- Never title modules as topics; capabilities only, even in a first draft.
- Never present the assumed student as settled; ASSUMED labels stay until the user confirms.
- Five to seven modules in the first map; a twelve-module first draft frightens the creator and the student alike.
Degradation
If the topic is too broad for one course ("photography"), return two or three narrower course ideas with one-line exit capabilities each, and outline whichever the user picks.
