Exam Cheatsheet

exam-cheatsheet — pre-exam cheatsheet compiler

Purpose

Compile, rather than free-generate, mastered content into workspace-root cheatsheet.md. Every top-level bullet must link into notebook/, mistakes/, or references/wiki/. Do not teach new material or invent questions. Render the requested-page-count PDF only for standing visual mode or an explicit PDF/print request. Never write the retired walkthrough.md; leave an existing copy untouched.

Activation

Trigger on an explicit request for 「考前小抄 / 速记 / 总复习」, or when review is wrapping up after all phases and persisted artifact_mode=visual. Automatic final review under chat stays a conversational exam-review summary.

Inputs

• Weak-spot source: study_state.json (mistake_archive, confusion_log, and phase_checklist) when it exists; otherwise the possibly stale generated study_progress.md. Read these first, then mistakes/index.md and notebook/index.md when present; their full entries provide preferred ready-made anchors.
• Rank knowledge_window status out_window above in_window and verified (codes are defined by scripts/i18n.py).
• Read core conclusions and formulas from every mastered chapter in references/wiki/, derived from study_state.json's current_phase/phase_checklist when it exists, otherwise study_progress.md, checked against study_plan.md. Lazy-load one chapter at a time.
• Use references/quiz_bank.json for teacher-flagged items and answer frameworks. Resolve scripts/select_hard_questions.py from ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}, never the student workspace; it returns a flat ranked list which the agent groups by knowledge point.

Workflow

1. Gate artifacts. Read study_state.json.artifact_mode; missing, legacy, or unknown means chat. Never infer a subscription tier or add a fourth required first-contact question. Automatic chat review creates no sheet; an explicit sheet request may create Markdown. Only standing visual or an explicit one-shot PDF/print request authorizes rendering. A one-shot request does not modify the persisted value. Never install dependencies or skills silently.
2. Build the skeleton. Weak spots come first. Per chapter retain only high-frequency or high-scoring formulas, conclusions, and one-sentence definitions.
3. Select one hard example per key point. For each mastered chapter run python "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/select_hard_questions.py" --workspace <ws> --chapter <N> --mode 查缺补漏 -n <M> --json. Both --chapter and --mode are required: they avoid a missing-range failure in 某章起步补弱 and override easy-first 零基础从头讲. Set <M> at least to the bank length so the default top ten cannot starve later points. Group the flat result, prioritize points linked to mistakes/confusions, and choose the hardest candidate per point. With no linked bank item, emit 「无题库例题」 and only the 「必背结论/公式」 and 「要点解释」 sections; never invent a replacement.
4. Fail closed on prompt assets. For requires_assets=true or maybe_requires_assets=true, embed every question_context, figure, diagram, and table as workspace-relative references/assets/ links, labeled 题面图 for zh/bilingual or Question-side asset for en. Preserve but never embed student_attempt; one declaration taints the same physical path across the complete quiz, teaching, and content-unit layers, including a duplicate official-looking declaration. Missing or unusable assets require a self-contained alternative. A stub or page_reference item likewise needs its original-page render or replacement by a full item. Never include an example whose prompt figure/page is invisible. cheatsheet_render.py performs the shared three-layer policy and canonical-path gate; do not bypass it with a custom Markdown/image renderer.
5. Write the four sections. The worked solution states the formula, substituted values, and result; only intermediate arithmetic may be omitted. The takeaway starts with the recognition cue and then the answer framework. Material-backed lines may remain unlabeled; AI supplements require 🟡 AI补充，可能与你老师讲的不完全一致, AI answers require ⚠️ AI生成答案，非老师/教材提供, and missing/unknown bank answer provenance requires 「来源未知」. Do not let uncertain content inherit the material default; see docs/language-policy.md.
6. Attach traceability. End every top-level - bullet with [→](notebook/chNN.md#<anchor>), [→](mistakes/chNN.md#<anchor>), or [→](references/wiki/<file>.md), preferring notebook/mistake evidence. Run python "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/validate_workspace.py" <ws> and fix every untraced or dead link before delivery.
7. Write only when authorized. Create workspace-root cheatsheet.md with the four sections for every mastered chapter and a refreshed progress panel. Under chat, this requires an explicit sheet request.
8. Render only when authorized. For standing visual or explicit one-shot PDF/print, ask for the page count if omitted (default 2), then run python "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/cheatsheet_render.py" --workspace <ws> --pages <N>. Exit 0 must produce exactly N print-safe pages with margins ≥12 mm. Exit 3 returns cheatsheet.html plus the emitted print instruction. Visually inspect the result; adjust --font-size, not margins, until it fits N pages and the last page has at most about 15% blank. Under ordinary chat, stop after validated Markdown and do not ask for page count.
9. Never invent teacher emphasis; only material-flagged points may be described that way.

Output Contract

• cheatsheet.md uses active-language headings per mastered chapter: zh uses 「必背结论/公式」→「例题」→「例题解答」→「要点解释」; en uses Must-memorize conclusions & formulas → Worked example → Worked solution → Takeaway. Every bullet is traced and validation passes.
• An explicit chat request delivers Markdown only unless it also requests print/PDF. Authorized rendering delivers exact-page-count cheatsheet.pdf, or cheatsheet.html plus print instructions on the no-browser path.
• Student-facing output defaults to English (Simplified Chinese if the student opened in Chinese). Persisted language values zh, en, and bilingual select single-language or mirrored output per docs/language-policy.md.

Language packs

• 中文 → ../../locales/zh/skills/exam-cheatsheet.md
• English → ../../locales/en/skills/exam-cheatsheet.md
• 双语 → compose both blockwise, zh then > EN:, under docs/language-policy.md

Display aliases are normalized to zh, en, or bilingual.

Boundaries

• Unsupported content needs the applicable 🟡 or ⚠️ label. The sheet compresses completed review; it never bypasses source labels or the quiz_bank-only rule.
