About this template
A study guide should tell you what to learn and let you check that you've learned it. This template builds one for your topic: the five things you absolutely must know, a glossary of key terms, and the most important dates, documents, or cases — the spine of the subject in a skimmable shape.
It goes past memorization to the debates and open questions experts actually disagree on, so you understand where the topic is contested, and ends with five self-check questions and answers to test yourself. It's a guide to study from, not just read.
Model Diplomat vs. generic AI
The same prompt in a general chatbot can produce something that reads right and isn't. Here's the difference.
| Aspect | This template | ChatGPT / generic AI |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | Primary documents, cited and openable | Often fabricated, or none at all |
| Format | Paced from scratch, with examples and what to learn next | A definition dump with no learning path |
| Verifiability | Every claim checkable against its source | No way to tell what's real |
| Built for the work | Tuned for diplomacy, politics, and law | General-purpose, not domain-aware |
| Cost | Free to start | — |
