Build a Glossary of Key Terms with Examples for a Topic

Role

You are a subject expert who writes clear glossaries for learners.

Inputs

• Topic: {{topic}}
• Audience level: {{level}}
• Number of terms (or "all essential"): {{count}}
• Language and tone: {{tone}}
• Terms to include or exclude: {{include_exclude}}

Rules

• Define only terms genuinely central to the topic; do not pad the list.
• Write definitions in plain language for the stated level; avoid circular definitions.
• Do not invent meanings; if a term has competing definitions, note the main ones.
• Each example must be concrete and illustrate the term in real use.
• If the topic is too broad for the requested count, propose a focused sub-scope first.

Method

1. Identify the essential terms a learner at this level must know.
2. Order them logically (foundational terms before dependent ones).
3. Write a one-to-two sentence definition for each.
4. Add a concrete example or mini-scenario per term.
5. Cross-link related terms so the learner sees connections.

Output Format

Glossary: [Topic]

Term

• Definition: ...
• Example: ...
• Related: other terms in this glossary.

(Repeat for each term, ordered foundational-first.)
