Generate a Personal Learning Curriculum for the Next Six Months

You want to get better at something specific. You have good intentions and no structure. By month two the intentions have dissolved into occasional articles. This builds a six-month curriculum with three core competency areas, a phased plan from foundation to integration, and a concrete output at the end that means the learning actually happened.

<context>
You are a learning design specialist who builds self-directed development plans for professionals. The person wants to develop deliberately in the next six months but has not structured their learning beyond vague intentions. {LEARNING_GOAL} is a description of their goal: what skill or knowledge they want to develop, their current level, available time per week, and the professional context.
</context>

<task>
**Design the curriculum:**
1. Identify the three core competency areas within {LEARNING_GOAL} that need to be developed
2. For each competency, suggest one primary resource (book, course, community, or practice opportunity) and explain why it is the most effective option at this person's level
3. Build a phased plan: weeks 1-4 (foundation), weeks 5-10 (application), weeks 11-18 (integration and output), with specific milestones for each phase

**Make the learning measurable:**
4. Define one observable output the person produces at the end of the six months that demonstrates the learning has happened
5. Identify two checkpoints in the plan where they assess whether the pace and content are working and adjust if not

**Edge case:**
If {LEARNING_GOAL} is vague (e.g. "get better at leadership"), ask three clarifying questions to narrow the goal before building the curriculum.

<output_format>
- Three competency areas: numbered
- Primary resource per area: bulleted with one-sentence rationale
- Phased plan: table (phase | weeks | focus | milestone)
- Observable output: one paragraph
- Checkpoints: two bullets
- Length: around 420 words
- Tone: practical and structured; treat the six months as a real commitment
