SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns scattered course materials into a structured, course-specific knowledge base so you can see what the course covers, what methods repeat, and where exam-relevant emphasis lives.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ingest course sources: Converts lecture notes, textbook chapters, homework sets, and solutions into a unified markdown corpus.
  • Extract recurring patterns: Identifies reusable solution techniques and common mathematical or physics moves across problems.
  • Map coverage to exam priority: Builds a homework-to-section coverage map that flags high-probability exam topics and weak zones.
  • Summarize course structure: Produces a topic tree and section ordering that makes review and drilling more efficient.

Quick Start

Use the course-builder skill to ingest the course materials and analyze them into the course-index outputs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a study graph from lecture notes and homework sets?

You can build a study graph from lecture notes and homework by ingesting the materials to convert them into a unified markdown corpus, then analyzing them to produce a structured topic tree and section ordering for efficient review.

What is the best way to map homework coverage to exam-relevant topics?

Mapping homework coverage to exam topics involves analyzing recurring solution techniques across your course materials to generate a coverage map that flags high-probability exam areas and identifies weak zones.

Can I extract recurring solution patterns from math and physics course materials?

Yes, extracting recurring solution patterns from math and physics materials is possible by analyzing the ingested markdown corpus to identify reusable techniques and common mathematical or physics moves across homework problems.

Does this course materials analysis work for both textbook chapters and solutions?

Yes, the course materials analysis works for both textbook chapters and solutions, converting lecture notes, textbook sections, homework sets, and solution files into a unified markdown knowledge base for comprehensive pattern extraction.

What outputs do I get when converting lecture notes into a structured knowledge base?

Converting lecture notes into a structured knowledge base produces converted markdown transcripts plus three files: patterns.md for reusable techniques, coverage.md for homework-to-section exam tiers, and summary.md for the course structure.
