Make a start
One step at a time.
3 steps
Start with the synthetic worked example or other non-sensitive inputs. Run one prompt at a time in your chosen AI tool. Replace any bracketed placeholders with the requested material, check each reply, and supply the source or earlier outputs that step needs. Paste them again if the tool lacks that context.
Start with the synthetic example, then adapt each prompt to your task.
01
Try the complete example
Open a text AI chat you already have permission to use. Paste the whole prompt below, from TASK through END INPUT, and send it. The input is source material; do not paste the illustrative Output as an answer to imitate. Expect A source-grounded concept-and-relationship list that can be read as complete statements, with unsupported edges held. If you receive advice instead of the result, ask for the complete requested result from the supplied input.
Your starting prompt
TASK
Create a complete text concept map using the six required labels. Write each directed relationship as an intelligible sentence with its source ID. Preserve may/some/particular qualifiers, distinguish navigation from containment and hold unsupported edges separately. Do not add common knowledge as if it were supplied.
INPUT
Complete original explanatory source:
S1: A printed booklet contains pages.
S2: Pages may contain pictures and captions.
S3: A caption describes a particular picture.
S4: Some booklets have a contents list; not every booklet has one.
S5: A contents list points readers to sections.
Required concepts, using these labels: booklet, page, picture, caption, contents list, section. Create a text concept map as subject–relationship–object statements, with source IDs and optionality. Do not claim every page contains a picture or caption, or that every booklet has a contents list. The source does not define sections as collections of pages or captions as navigation. List tempting unsupported links separately rather than adding them. No rendered diagram requested.
END INPUT
02
Check and correct
Read every relationship aloud and find support in S1–S5; all six required concepts must appear. The page-to-picture and page-to-caption relationships must remain optional, as must booklet-to-contents-list. A caption describes a particular picture; this does not imply every picture has a caption. Check by relationship meaning, not by the illustrative edge numbers or order. Keep section-contains-page and the other unsupported examples outside the supported map. Compare with the unchanged source yourself. If anything differs, use the correction prompt, then recheck the complete replacement before saving.
Your starting prompt
Check the answer in this sample chat against the complete INPUT above. Read every relationship aloud and find support in S1–S5; all six required concepts must appear. The page-to-picture and page-to-caption relationships must remain optional, as must booklet-to-contents-list. A caption describes a particular picture; this does not imply every picture has a caption. Check by relationship meaning, not by the illustrative edge numbers or order. Keep section-contains-page and the other unsupported examples outside the supported map. Quote each mismatch and its source, then return a complete corrected replacement. If source or answer is missing, ask for it. Do not describe a suggested human trial as completed.
03
Use your own source instead
Open a new chat and copy the prompt below. Replace every bracketed field with your own permitted non-sensitive material, or write unknown. Change the source names, counts, dates and rules together wherever they occur. Expect a complete result using those new values. Compare each source link and calculation with your new input, using the review instructions in this prompt. If a fact or rule is wrong, quote the mismatch and source and ask for a complete corrected replacement; keep essential unknowns held rather than borrowing the practice values.
Your starting prompt
Build a source-grounded text concept map from my passage and required concepts. List the concepts, then return directed subject–relationship–object statements with source IDs. Use meaningful connecting words and preserve optionality, quantities and qualifiers. Do not infer a reverse relationship or import outside facts without labeling them separately as unsupported proposals. Check each triple by reading it as a sentence beside its source and account for every required concept, including isolated or unsupported ones. Return an unsupported-edge hold list and questions needed to resolve it. No rendered diagram or learning result is implied.
MY INPUT
Complete short source text: [replace with your source or rule]
Concepts to include: [replace with your source or rule]
Allowed relationship wording: [replace with your source or rule]
Scope and unknowns: [replace with your source or rule]
Text-only or diagram preference: [replace with your source or rule]
Use only MY INPUT for facts, quantities, names, dates and permissions. Ask for missing essential facts or conflicting rules instead of guessing. Creative invention is allowed only where this task and my boundaries permit it. Return the actual complete requested result, a separate unknown/hold list and the source-specific review described above. Do not reuse practice-example facts. Keep this a draft; do not publish, contact people, book, buy or change another service.
Optional: improve the result
Test an overstrong edge
Optional, sample-only extension. Return to the practice chat, or paste this guide’s complete practice input and your checked answer into a new chat. Practice detecting a relationship that sounds plausible but changes the source. This does not apply unchanged to your own source.
Advanced prompt
For the sample, review the proposed sentence “Every page has a caption that points to a section.” Identify each unsupported claim separately, then replace it only with the supported source relationships. Do not edit S1–S5. If the complete sample input or answer is missing, ask me to paste it. Keep new variants separate from the original result.

01 / The starting point
Synthetic input
COMPLETE SYNTHETIC PRACTICE INPUT
Complete original explanatory source:
S1: A printed booklet contains pages.
S2: Pages may contain pictures and captions.
S3: A caption describes a particular picture.
S4: Some booklets have a contents list; not every booklet has one.
S5: A contents list points readers to sections.
Required concepts, using these labels: booklet, page, picture, caption, contents list, section. Create a text concept map as subject–relationship–object statements, with source IDs and optionality. Do not claim every page contains a picture or caption, or that every booklet has a contents list. The source does not define sections as collections of pages or captions as navigation. List tempting unsupported links separately rather than adding them. No rendered diagram requested.
Copies text only. For image or file tasks, use the source files named in the steps too.
ILLUSTRATIVE AUTHORED OUTPUT
Written for this guide; no consumer AI execution or real-world trial is claimed.
CONCEPTS
booklet; page; picture; caption; contents list; section.
SUPPORTED RELATIONSHIP LIST
E1: booklet — contains — page. [S1]
E2: page — may contain — picture. [S2]
E3: page — may contain — caption. [S2]
E4: caption — describes a particular — picture. [S3]
E5: booklet — may have — contents list. [S4]
E6: contents list — points readers to — section. [S5]
Read each triple as a complete sentence. Singular labels stand for concepts, not a claim that only one page, caption or section can exist.
OPTIONALITY AND DIRECTION
“May contain” in E2/E3 preserves that not every page has these features. “May have” in E5 preserves optional contents lists. E4 links a caption to a particular picture; it does not say every picture has a caption. E6 is a navigation relationship, not a claim that a contents list contains the sections themselves.
UNSUPPORTED-LINK HOLD LIST
section — contains — page: not stated in this short source.
caption — points readers to — section: not stated.
picture — always has — caption: not stated and stronger than the source.
Ask for an authorized source extension before adding these edges. No isolated concept remains: all six required labels appear in supported edges. Six supported edges are listed; no diagram has been rendered or learning outcome tested.
These checks use the worked example and its particular facts. With your own material, check your actual names, numbers, sources and rules; do not reuse the sample’s values as the answer.
Unsaved checks stay in this tab and reset when you reload. If you choose Save guide, its current example checkmarks are kept in this browser when storage is available.

A few things to watch for.
An unlabeled arrow can hide the actual claim. Choose a connecting phrase that can be read aloud.
Optionality and arrow direction change meaning. Do not replace “may have” with “always contains” or reverse the caption relationship.
