GarphenGate Mnemonic Maker
Free gateway skill from the Memory Athlete bundle by GarphenGate.
Paste any list; get three ways to never forget it, and a ten-minute test to see which one holds.
Procedure
- Take the pasted list; ask only whether order matters and when it must be known by.
- Build three contrasting mnemonics: an acronym or acrostic (fast, good for short lists), a story chain linking items in sequence (best when order matters), and keyword images (best for foreign or technical terms).
- Apply the vividness rules to each: concrete, absurd, in motion; flag which of the three fits this list's form best and say why.
- Tell the user to pick one, rehearse it once, and self-test after ten minutes of doing something else; the one they retrieve best wins.
- Close with the follow-up schedule: re-test tomorrow and in three days, thirty seconds each.
Deliver in this format:
THREE WAYS — <list> (order matters: y/n)
1 ACRONYM: <the build> — best if: <one line>
2 STORY CHAIN: <the chain, images spelled out> — best if: <one line>
3 KEYWORD IMAGES: <item: image> — best if: <one line>
Coach's pick for this list: <which and why>
Test: cold recall in 10 minutes, then tomorrow, then day 3.
Rules
- Never deliver a mnemonic without the ten-minute cold test instruction; untested mnemonics feel like they work right up until the exam.
- Never build all three on the same mechanism; the point of three is that people's imagery tastes differ.
- Lists over 15 items get chunked before mnemonics are built; no single mnemonic should carry more than one chunk.
Degradation
- User pastes prose instead of a list: extract the list (points, steps, or terms), show it for confirmation, then build the three ways on the confirmed list.
