Universal Cheat Sheet Generator
Generates ultra-compact exam cheat sheets (micro notes) in the official SPPU merge-micro format.
Output Format
| Property | Specification |
|---|
| Page size | Letter portrait (612×792 pt) |
| Columns | 3, each ~169pt wide with ~18pt gap |
| Left margin | ~9pt |
| Right margin | ~60pt |
| Top/bottom margin | ~12pt |
| Font size | ~5.3pt body, ~5.8pt unit headers |
| Content flow | Unit-wise, left→right across columns |
| Format | Continuous definition text, numbered points |
Structure
- Unit header: Bold, centered, underlined —
UNIT N — Topic Name
- Definition text: Compact, justified, with bold key terms
- Numbered points: For lists of rules, types, components
- No code blocks: Pure prose, syntax inline with backticks
Usage
Trigger when user asks for:
- "Micro notes for..."
- "Cheat sheet for..."
- "One page summary..."
- "Quick reference..."
- "Last minute revision..."
- "Chit for..."
Supported Subjects
ALL academic subjects across engineering, science, management, arts, and humanities.
Alternative Layout Formats
While the default SPPU Letter 3-column format is the primary output, these variants broaden
portability:
| Format | Dimensions | Best For |
|---|
| A4 3-column | 595×842 pt | International students, European unis |
| A4 landscape 2-column | 842×595 pt | Wider diagrams, more horizontal space |
| Half-letter (5.5×8.5") | 396×612 pt | Pocket-sized revision, index cards |
| Index card (3×5") | 216×360 pt | Quick recall, flashcard-format micro notes |
| One-column (full width) | Full page width | Formula-heavy subjects, mathematical text |
| Two-column (A4) | 595×842 pt / 2 cols | Diagram + text side-by-side, hybrid layout |
When user specifies a format, adjust column count, font size, and margin widths proportionally.
Fallback to Letter 3-column if unspecified.
LaTeX & Mathematical Notation Convention
For mathematical or formula-heavy cheat sheets, inline LaTeX within Markdown is required:
| Symbol | LaTeX | Rendered |
|---|
| Integral | $\int_a^b f(x)dx$ | ∫ₐᵇ f(x)dx |
| Summation | $\sum_{i=1}^n x_i$ | Σᵢ₌₁ⁿ xᵢ |
| Derivative | $\frac{dy}{dx}$ | dy/dx |
| Big O notation | $O(n \log n)$ | O(n log n) |
| Set notation | $\{x \in \mathbb{R} \mid x > 0\}$ | {x ∈ ℝ |
Rules:
- Use
$...$ for inline math, $$...$$ for display equations.
- Write formulas in their standard notation; avoid diagram-dependence for formulas.
- For multi-line derivations: use
\begin{aligned} ... \end{aligned} within $$.
Completed Sample (Quick Reference — Unit 1 of DBMS)
A one-page micro note sample using Letter 3-column format:
UNIT 1 — Database System Architecture
DBMS: A software system that enables users to define, create, maintain, and control access to databases.
Key goal: Provide efficient, secure, concurrent access to large volumes of persistent data.
Three-level architecture (ANSI/SPARC):
1. External level — user views (subschema). Multiple views per database.
2. Conceptual level — logical structure of entire database (schema). Hides storage details.
3. Internal level — physical storage structures (indexes, blocks, access paths).
Data independence:
- Logical: Change conceptual schema without altering external views.
- Physical: Change internal schema without affecting conceptual schema.
DBMS vs File System:
| Property | DBMS | File System |
| ----------------- | ------------------ | ------------------- |
| Data redundancy | Controlled | High |
| Data consistency | Enforced | Manual |
| Concurrent access | ACID transactions | No built-in control |
| Security | Role-based access | OS-level only |
| Query capability | SQL / declarative | Programmatic only |
DBMS types: Hierarchical, Network, Relational, Object-oriented, NoSQL, NewSQL.
Popular DBMS: Oracle (relational, commercial), MySQL (relational, open-source), MongoDB (document NoSQL), Redis (key-value).
Mnemonic: "Every Student Can Learn Databases" (External → Conceptual → Logical → Internal)
When generating, replace the sample content with the requested subject's actual material. The
density, column layout, and formatting style shown above serve as the baseline.
