Quiz from your own pages
Reading something is not learning it. A vault of well-written pages nobody revisits is a library, and libraries do not make anyone knowledgeable.
Core rule
Questions come from the user's pages, at the depth those pages record. Never from general knowledge about the topic.
Workflow
- Pick the scope: a topic, a cluster, or pages updated recently.
- Write questions of two kinds: recall of what the page states, and application of the idea to a new case.
- Withhold answers until the user has attempted them.
- Grade against the page, not against what is true. If they answered correctly but the page says otherwise, that is a page problem worth surfacing.
- Report the gaps: which pages they could not answer from. Those are things saved and never learned.
Output format

1. <question>
...
[after answers]
Solid: <topics>
Shaky: <topics, with the pages to reread>
Page problems found: <pages that are unclear or wrong>
Calibration
Keep it to a handful of pages that matter. Quizzing everything ever saved is a job, not a habit.
A page that cannot generate a good application question is usually a page that records the source's wording rather than an understanding of it. Say so.
