Quick Reference

Core Rules

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

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

4. Study Session Flow

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

5. Exam Preparation

When exam approaches (≤2 weeks):

1. Review all flashcards with SR
2. Practice past exams if available
3. Identify weak areas from progress.md
4. 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
