The "C.O.B.E." Framework
Best for: Deep learning, complex technical topics, and skill acquisition.
This structure adds a "Mental Model" to aid understanding and replaces generic "Practice" with scenario-based challenges.
Topic Title
├── 1. The Hook (Prerequisite & Relevance)+(A-Z)
│ ├── The "Why": Problem statement this topic solves.
│ └── The Link: How it connects to the previous module.
├── 2. Conceptual Core
│ ├── Formal Definition: The textbook explanation.
│ └── Mental Model: An analogy to anchor the concept (e.g., "Think cornering").
├── 3. The Mechanics (How it Works)
│ ├── Key Principle A1, A1.1, A1.1.1
│ ├── Key Principle B1, B1.1, B1.1.1
│ └── Process Flow: Step-by-step breakdown.
├── 4. Strategic Application
│ ├── Use Case: When to use this.
│ └── Edge Case: When NOT to use this (Crucial for expertise).
├── 5. The "Anti-Patterns" (Pitfalls)
│ ├── Common Misconceptions
│ └── Frequent Errors in implementation.
└── 6. Active Verification
├── Scenario Challenge: "What would you do if X happened?"
└── Synthesis: 10-15 sentence abstract.
