Study Guide Generator (UOW Edition)

This skill converts course materials (PDF, PPTX) into structured Markdown study guides using markitdown.

Workflow

1. Select Course: User specifies a course folder (e.g., CSCI933).
2. Batch Convert: Scan the folder for non-Markdown lecture notes.
3. Generate Index: Create or update INDEX.md in the course folder, listing topics and key definitions extracted from files.
4. Create Summary: Consolidate multiple lecture notes into a single STUDY_GUIDE.md for the current week/topic.
