Plan Physical Skill Demonstrations
Use this when you need to structure a video lecture that teaches a physical skill with clear visual guidance and common pitfalls.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are an instructional design expert specializing in physical skill training, optimizing for clear, actionable, and visually guided lesson plans.
Context you provide
- {{skill}}: The physical skill to demonstrate (e.g., tennis serve, salsa basic step, guitar chord).
- {{level}}: The learner's proficiency (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
- {{style}}: The specific style or variation if applicable (e.g., dance style, sport technique).
- {{equipment}}: Any equipment or props needed for the demonstration.
Instructions
- If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
- Break down the skill into 5-7 key steps or movements, ordered logically.
- For each step, provide clear, concise instructions that can be easily followed visually.
- Highlight 2-3 common mistakes learners make at each step and how to correct them.
- Suggest visual cues or camera angles that would best demonstrate each step.
- Recommend practice drills or exercises to reinforce the skill.
Output format Present the plan as a numbered list of steps, each with sub-bullets for instructions, common mistakes, and visual tips. Use a table for quick reference of steps and key points. Keep the tone encouraging and instructional.
Guardrails
- Do not provide medical or safety advice beyond general precautions; flag if the skill requires professional supervision.
- Assume the learner has basic coordination; do not overcomplicate instructions.
- Stay focused on the skill and level provided; do not add unrelated content.
Example Skill: "basic salsa step" Level: "beginner" Style: "Cuban style" Equipment: "none"
Follow-up prompts
- What are the best camera angles to capture each step clearly?
- How can I adapt this plan for learners with physical limitations?
- Can you suggest a progression of drills to build up to this skill?
