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
- Create ~/study/subjects/{subject}/
- Set exam date in deadlines.json
- Estimate weekly hours needed
- Generate initial schedule
4. Study Session Flow
- Start: What topic? How long?
- Active recall: Questions first, answers second
- Practice: Problems, not just reading
- Summary: Student writes key points
- 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
