SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Flashcards automate the repetitive work of converting your course outline and notes into bite-sized recall targets, so you can drill until rules stick.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Leitner-style buckets: prioritize due cards and manage progression with self-assessment.
  • Card generation from your sources: create question/answer cards from an outline, notes, or casebook excerpts.
  • Drill sessions and tracking: run focused N-card sessions, update review dates, and monitor stuck topics.
  • Confidence discipline and real-matter guardrails: flags unsourced rules for verification and refuses to engage when the student describes a real situation needing legal advice.

Quick Start

Use flashcards in drill mode to quiz yourself on a subject by running: "drill flashcards Contracts".

Frequently Asked Questions about flashcards

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn my law school outline into flashcards for memorization?▼

Yes, you can generate flashcards directly from your study notes by providing an outline or casebook excerpts. The system extracts black-letter rules and structures them into bite-sized question-and-answer cards for exam preparation.

How does the Leitner system work for flashcard review tracking?▼

The Leitner system for flashcard review tracking works by sorting cards into buckets based on self-assessment. It prioritizes due cards, manages progression through spaced repetition, and updates review dates so you drill stuck topics more frequently.

Can I run a focused drill session on a specific legal subject?▼

Yes, you can run a focused drill session on a specific legal subject by requesting an N-card quiz. The system quizzes you on chosen topics, tracks your review stats, and updates card progression based on your self-assessment.

Does the flashcard generator mark rules that need verification?▼

Yes, the flashcard generator enforces confidence discipline by marking AI-derived rules not backed by your provided sources with a [VERIFY] tag. This guardrail flags unsourced black-letter rules for your manual verification.

What happens if I ask for legal advice during a flashcard drill session?▼

If you ask for legal advice during a flashcard drill session, the system refuses to engage. It is designed strictly for black-letter memorization and exam preparation, so it will not analyze real situations or provide legal guidance.

What's the best way to track stuck topics when studying black-letter rules?▼

The best way to track stuck topics when studying black-letter rules is using the Leitner-style bucket system. It monitors your self-assessment scores, updates review dates, and surfaces cards you consistently struggle with for focused drilling.
