I'm just leaving a note because there's no indication of JLPT level for this grammar point.

It's N4 in other resources.

It's kind of confusing that the example given for っ is the unusual reading of ...
Also, is anything not listed just constructed as +[word]? If so, I feel like that should be indicated... and also, that would make つ another confusing example...

Those are good points by @emanresU

Morphological rules like this one are often more straightforward to present in romaji or pseudo-IPA. Hiragana just obscures what’s happening phonetically.

This rule is also easier to understand as a two step process:

  • Ma + Q + adjective
  • Q realization
