SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Students and learners struggle to convert raw course materials into structured, comprehensive revision notes that cover every topic without silently dropping content, while traditional note-taking often leads with jargon-heavy definitions that hinder understanding.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Complete Coverage Guarantee: Emits a coverage checklist in Phase 1 and reconciles all notes against it in Phase 2, ensuring zero topics are silently dropped.
  • Feynman Concept Blocks: Every concept is explained in plain language first (capsule), followed by intuition, formal treatment, mandatory worked example, and common misconceptions.
  • Flexible Input Handling: Accepts PDF slides (via the /pdf skill), pasted topic lists, or just a course name by searching standard syllabi.
  • Optional Cheat Sheet: Generates a one-line-per-entry quick-reference sheet ordered by exam relevance when requested.

Quick Start

Use the course-study skill to turn your lecture slides into complete revision notes with Feynman-style explanations for every concept.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn lecture slides into exam-ready revision notes?

To create revision notes from lecture slides, this tool extracts content from PDF course materials and transforms them into Feynman-explained study guides with mandatory worked examples. It guarantees complete topic coverage by reconciling all notes against an initial checklist.

What is the Feynman technique for creating study guides?

The Feynman technique for study guides explains every concept in plain language first, followed by intuition, formal treatment, a mandatory worked example, and common misconceptions. This approach replaces jargon-heavy definitions to simplify understanding for exam preparation.

Can I generate a cheat sheet from just a course name or topic list?

Yes, you can generate a cheat sheet from a course name or topic list by searching standard syllabi. The tool creates a one-line-per-entry quick-reference sheet ordered by exam relevance, alongside complete revision notes.

How does this tool ensure no course topics are dropped during note-taking?

To ensure no topics are dropped during note-taking, the tool emits a coverage checklist in its first phase and reconciles all generated notes against it in the second phase. This invariant enforces zero silent content omissions.

Does this study guide generator work with PDF slides?

Yes, this study guide generator works with PDF slides by leveraging PDF extraction to process lecture materials. It accepts pasted topic lists or course names as alternative inputs to generate comprehensive exam preparation notes.

What is the best way to prepare for exams using course materials?

The best way to prepare for exams using course materials is converting them into structured revision notes with plain-language explanations and worked examples. This tool applies the Feynman technique to ensure complete syllabus coverage and deep conceptual understanding.
