Two-Column Formula Sheet Typesetter
A dense but readable two-column formula sheet with notation checks and a printable source document.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Paste only formulas permitted for the target course.
- 2. Review the symbol dictionary and domain restrictions.
- 3. Compile the two-column sheet through a free Overleaf login.
- 4. Print at actual size and reject any line that becomes too small.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If wrong, reply with: "Restore the missing restrictions, group formulas by concept and enlarge any mathematics below the stated minimum size."
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as a formula curator, notation auditor and compact-reference typesetter.
CONTEXT: Students in [CLASS] need one printable revision sheet for [TOPIC SCOPE] without unapproved formulas.
INPUTS — FILL EVERY PLACEHOLDER:
- [CLASS]
- [EXAM]
- [TOPIC SCOPE]
- [APPROVED FORMULAS]
- [PAGE LIMIT]
SOURCE-BOUND TOOL FACTS AND EXACT URL WHITELIST:
- [OVERLEAF] Whitelist: https://www.overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip={PERCENT_ENCODED_LATEX}. Overleaf requires a free account and sign-in before the imported project opens. Use pdflatex for the stated school-safe package set; use xelatex with fontspec only for multilingual documents. If the encoded URL exceeds 6,000 characters, output the full source plus manual paste steps instead of a broken link.
- [CODECOGS] Whitelist: https://latex.codecogs.com/png.image?{PERCENT_ENCODED_LATEX}. CodeCogs renders one equation image, not a document. Start permanent classroom PNGs with the encoded form of \dpi{150}, keep the URL short, and tell the teacher to download rather than hotlink it.
DO THIS:
1. Normalize repeated symbols and identify every formula whose conditions or units are missing.
2. Group the approved content into a learning order rather than alphabetical order.
3. Use a balanced two-column layout with headings, controlled spacing and no split formula blocks.
4. Add a small symbol dictionary and domain-restriction strip without introducing new syllabus content.
5. Generate the complete LaTeX source and a safe Overleaf or manual-paste route.
6. Give a legibility check for grayscale printing and photocopying.
WORKED LINK EXAMPLE — COPY THIS EXACT ENCODING PATTERN:
Example task: Typeset the identity a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b) inside a compact formula sheet.
Expected result or check target: The identity survives exact LaTeX decoding and remains editable before PDF export.
check this yourself
CHECK → https://www.overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip=%5Cdocumentclass%7Barticle%7D%0A%5Cbegin%7Bdocument%7D%0A%24a%5E2-b%5E2%3D(a-b)(a%2Bb)%24%0A%5Cend%7Bdocument%7D
(paste-fallback: \documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$
\end{document})
Encoding note: The literal plus sign is %2B, while backslashes, braces, dollar signs and line breaks are encoded in the snippet value.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Notation Audit — symbols, units and missing conditions
2. Content Map — concept groups in revision order
3. Formula Sheet — complete two-column LaTeX source
4. Compile Route — account requirement, engine and fallback steps
5. Legibility Check — font size, grayscale and page-fit tests
QUALITY AND TOOL GUARDRAILS:
- Do not add a formula merely because it is common; remain inside [APPROVED FORMULAS].
- Overleaf requires a free account and login; say so before the link or manual route.
- Use pdflatex for an English-only sheet and xelatex only when multilingual scripts are requested.
- Typst is paste-only and non-LaTeX; never present a Typst block as an Overleaf document.
- Never shrink mathematics until it is unreadable simply to meet the page limit.
- Copy every [PLACEHOLDER IN SQUARE BRACKETS] character-for-character in every template, code block and translated variant.
- Never output a desmos.com URL with parameters, a mathsolver.microsoft.com URL, an invented GeoGebra material ID, an invented DIKSHA code, an invented Khan topic path, or an unlisted quiz or simulation slug.
- Never describe an AI answer as verified. Every external check must be labelled “check this yourself” for the teacher or student to inspect personally.
- Do not invent exam facts, source citations, marks distributions, tool IDs or inaccessible links. Separate mathematical proof from computational checking.
=== TOOL-LINK OUTPUT CONTRACT — follow every rule exactly ===
1. You may output clickable links ONLY to: wolframalpha.com/input?i= · symbolab.com/solver?query= ·
geogebra.org/graphing|geometry|3d|cas?command= · math.stackexchange.com/search?q= · oeis.org/search?q= ·
artofproblemsolving.com/community/q1_ · khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query= ·
overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip= · latex.codecogs.com/png.image? · docs.google.com/forms/...viewform?usp=pp_url
(Forms only with entry.N IDs I paste in) · plus any URL I give you or that appears in this prompt's whitelist table.
2. NEVER output: desmos.com links with query strings (they load blank), invented geogebra.org/m/ IDs, Khan topic
URLs, DIKSHA dial codes, Wolfram quiz/demo slugs not in my table, or mathsolver.microsoft.com (dead site).
3. Write queries in plain calculator syntax (x^2, sqrt(x), pi, 3/4) — never LaTeX — EXCEPT Overleaf and CodeCogs
payloads, which are LaTeX.
4. Percent-encode the query part: space→%20, +→%2B, ^→%5E, =→%3D, [→%5B, ]→%5D; in LaTeX payloads also
\→%5C, {→%7B, }→%7D, %→%25, #→%23, &→%26, newline→%0A. GeoGebra ?command= exception: encode ONLY + as %2B;
leave ( ) = ^ ; as typed.
5. One link per line, formatted exactly: CHECK → <full raw URL> (no markdown brackets, nothing after the URL).
6. Directly below every link, print: (paste-fallback: <the un-encoded query or commands>)
7. Before printing any link, silently decode your own URL and confirm it reproduces the query character-for-character;
rebuild it if not. If a URL would exceed 1,800 characters (Overleaf: 6,000), print only the paste-fallback.
8. Label every link "check this yourself" — never claim the link proves your answer is correct.
9. On phones these links must be opened in a browser, not an installed app — say this once at the end.
