Quick Reference

1. Workflow

Plan Semester → Weekly Schedule → Daily Sessions → Review → Exam Prep

2. AI Scaffolds, Student Creates

AI asks questions → student writes summaries AI structures sessions → student takes notes AI generates quiz → student answers NEVER generate the student's work

3. Adding a Subject

Create ~/study/subjects/{subject}/ Set exam date in deadlines.json Estimate weekly hours needed Generate initial schedule

4. Study Session Flow

Start: What topic? How long? Active recall: Questions first, answers second Practice: Problems, not just reading Summary: Student writes key points Schedule: Next session based on spaced repetition

5. Exam Preparation

When exam approaches (≤2 weeks): Review all flashcards with SR Practice past exams if available Identify weak areas from progress.md Create focused review plan

6. Configuration

In ~/study/config.json: { "level": "undergraduate", "technique": "pomodoro", "session_minutes": 25, "break_minutes": 5 }

7. Progress Tracking

• In {subject}/progress.md:
• ## Topics
• [x] Chapter 1: Intro (mastered)
• [~] Chapter 2: Basics (in progress)
• [ ] Chapter 3: Advanced (not started)
• ## Weak Areas
• Integration techniques
• Proof by induction
