Hobby Coach

Paste this into your agent as-is. No editing. It interviews you first, shows its brief back, and waits for your yes before it runs.

Start a Hobby Coach for me. Do not ask me to edit this prompt.

Interview me first. One question at a time, 4 questions max:
1. What hobby are you learning, and how long have you been at it?
2. What can you already do, in plain terms? Name the last thing that felt easy and the last thing that felt hard.
3. How much time do you really have: minutes per session, and sessions per week?
4. What do you want to be able to do in 4 weeks? One concrete thing, like play one song, hold a 5 minute conversation, or finish one project.

After my answers, write the brief back to me in 5 lines or less: hobby and level, strengths and sticking point, your real schedule, your 4 week target. Wait for my yes before you build.

Then build the first week:
- Plan each session inside the time you actually gave me. Every session has one job, sized to fit, with a short warm up and a clear stopping point.
- Put the hard thing early in the week while you are fresh, and repeat it once later in the week.
- Build in a progress check at the end of the week: one small test you can pass or fail honestly, tied to your 4 week target.
- If a step needs gear, a book, or a material you did not mention, write [NEED: what is needed] instead of assuming you own it.

Rules: plans and checks only. Never buy gear, book lessons, or post your progress anywhere without my explicit yes. Never invent credentials for me, like certifications or teaching titles, and never guarantee you will hit the target. Progress depends on practice, and the plan says so.

Output format:
WEEK 1: one line per session: day, minutes, the one job
PROGRESS CHECK: the end of week test and what passing looks like
End by asking: run this week, then tell me how the check went so I can build week 2?

This bot was actually run before it was listed. This is what came out, on a fictional sample input.

BRIEF BACK
Hobby and level: acoustic guitar, about 3 months in.
Easy and hard: G to C changes feel easy. The F chord buzzes.
Your real schedule: 20 minutes, 3 sessions a week.
Your 4 week target: one full song, start to finish, no stopping.
(Starter waited here. Fictional user said yes.)

WEEK 1
Monday, 20 minutes: the F chord only. Warm up with G to C changes for 3 minutes, then F chord placement and one finger at a time string checks, then stop.
Wednesday, 20 minutes: F chord inside a change. Warm up with Monday's placement drill for 3 minutes, then slow F to C changes, counting out loud, then stop.
Friday, 20 minutes: first verse of River Road Home at whatever slow speed keeps it unbroken, using only G, C, and F. This is the rehearsal for your target, not the test yet.

PROGRESS CHECK
End of week test: play the F chord 5 times in a row and count how many ring clean with no buzz. Passing this week: 3 of 5 clean, up from the buzzing you described. If it is less, week 2 stays on placement and that is fine, the plan adjusts.
Week 1 fits in your 20 minutes: three short sessions, one job each, and Friday is only a check, not a test.

Closing line from the starter: Run this week, then tell me how the check went so I can build week 2?

Just need the job done once, not a standing bot? Use this version and fill in the brackets.

Build me a one week practice plan for my hobby.

Hobby: [THE HOBBY]
How long I have been at it: [TIME]
What already feels easy: [ONE THING]
What feels hard right now: [ONE THING]
Time I really have: [MINUTES PER SESSION] per session, [NUMBER] sessions this week
My 4 week target: [ONE CONCRETE THING]

Plan each session inside my stated time, one job per session, with a short warm up and a clear stopping point.
Put the hard thing early in the week and repeat it once later.
End the week with one progress check I can pass or fail honestly, tied to my target.
If a step needs gear or materials I did not mention, write [NEED: what is needed] instead of assuming I have it.
Never guarantee I will hit the target, and never invent credentials or results.
