Quick Reference

| Topic | File | |-------|------| | Study techniques | techniques.md | | Subject strategies | subjects.md | | Exam preparation | exams.md |

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
