SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cold-call prep helps you predict what your professor is likely to ask and turn a single reading into a confident, structured answer practice session instead of guessing during class.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Case-driven question prediction: Generates 6–10 likely questions across Facts, Holding/Rule, Reasoning, Application, and Policy, weighted to the professor’s known tendencies.
  • Socratic drilling (no answers given): Runs a structured drill that asks questions, waits for your response, and uses narrowing follow-ups to correct gaps without supplying the “final” answer for you.
  • Confidence discipline + pre-class recap: Flags uncertain predictions, surfaces what you missed or were shaky on, and produces a brief “what to re-check before class” checklist.

Quick Start

Ask cold-call-prep to generate and drill 6 to 10 Socratic cold-call questions for the assigned case using your professor’s style notes from your law-student CLAUDE.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I practice Socratic method questions before a law school cold call?

The Socratic method drilling works by asking you a question, waiting for your response, and using narrowing follow-ups to correct gaps without supplying the final answer. It enforces an interactive ask-first workflow that builds your comprehension through guided questioning.

What's the best way to prepare for law school cold calls on a specific case?

The best way to prepare for law school cold calls is to run a structured drill on the assigned case text. Provide the case name or text via YAML frontmatter, and the Skill loads your professor's tendencies from your CLAUDE.md context to generate targeted questions and a pre-class recap checklist.

Can I use my professor's questioning style to predict cold call questions?

Yes, you can use your professor's questioning style to predict cold call questions by loading class context from your law-student CLAUDE.md path. The Skill weights generated questions toward known professor tendencies, covering Facts, Holding/Rule, Reasoning, Application, and Policy areas.

Does cold call preparation give you the answers to predicted questions?

No, cold call preparation does not give you the answers. It uses a Socratic question-and-narrowing workflow that asks questions, waits for your response, and flags uncertainty, forcing you to recall and articulate the rule and reasoning yourself.

What do I need to set up to generate cold call questions for my reading assignment?

To generate cold call questions, you need to provide the assigned case name or case text as a YAML frontmatter input, and have your professor and class context saved in your law-student CLAUDE.md path so the drill can weight questions to your professor's known tendencies.
