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

1. Unit header: Bold, centered, underlined — UNIT N — Topic Name
2. Definition text: Compact, justified, with bold key terms
3. Numbered points: For lists of rules, types, components
4. 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.
