The Setup Prompt
Don't just ask ChatGPT to explain something. Give it a pedagogical structure.
Prompt: 'I need to learn how Options Greeks work (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega). Start by explaining it to me like I am a 12-year-old. Once I confirm I understand, explain it again like I am a first-year finance major. Test my knowledge at each step using the Feynman technique.'

The Interrogation Phase
When you get confused, don't just say 'I don't get it'. Ask for analogies.
Prompt: 'I'm stuck on Gamma. Give me a physical analogy involving driving a car to explain how Gamma relates to Delta.'
Active Recall Generation
At the end of your session, use AI to build flashcards.
Prompt: 'Generate 10 challenging active-recall questions based on what we just discussed, output as a CSV format suitable for Anki.'
