- Source task:
  - Prepare me for a {{role}} interview at {{company_type}}. Interview focus: {{algorithms_system_design_both}}.
  - Step 1: assess my current level based on: {{describe_your_background_years_experience_tech_stack_strongest_a}}.
  - Step 2: create a personalised 4-week study plan with daily practice goals.
  - Step 3: give me the most commonly asked {{language}} algorithm problems in the format: problem, hints, brute-force approach, optimal approach, time/space complexity.
  - Step 4: for system design, give me a framework to structure every design answer in 45 minutes.

# Goal
Personalised 4-week study plan, algorithm problem set with approaches and complexity, and a 45-minute system design answer framework.

# Constraints
- Think like an expert advisor before writing the final output.
- Ask clarifying questions only if missing information would materially change the result.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When preparing for technical interviews and needing a structured plan rather than random LeetCode grinding.

PRO TIP

Practise explaining your thought process out loud while coding β€” interviewers evaluate communication as much as correctness.
