major: R - 3 - 5
minor: R - b3 - 5
augmented: R - 3 - #5
diminished: R - b3 - b5

R being the root... and the 3 and 5 correspond to the 3rd and 5th notes of the respective notes in that key...

Then if you want to further that... you can add the 7th.

Major 7: R-3-5-7
Dominant 7: R-3-5-b7

Minor/Major 7: R-b3-5-7
Minor 7: R-b3-5-b7

Half Diminished 7: R-b3-b5-b7
Diminished 7: R-b3-b5-6 (bb7)

Augmented 7: R-3-5#-7


Pretty easy and good stuff!!
