The idea

College students paste their degree requirements and completed courses. The app shows what is left, checks prerequisites, and lets them drag courses into future semesters with credit totals. It helps students catch problems before an advisor meeting, not after.

Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Degree Path Planner. After login, students create a plan with degree name, start term and target graduation term. Add a screen to paste the degree requirements text and a screen to enter completed courses with code, title, credits and grade.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Use an AI model to parse the pasted requirements into JSON groups (required courses, choose N from list, credit minimums) with prerequisites. Build a drag and drop board of future semesters, show credits per term, and flag unmet prerequisites and unfilled requirement groups in red.
