SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Flashcards for law studying help you memorize black-letter rules, but creating and drilling them manually is slow and easy to keep inconsistent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate flashcards from your outline: create question/answer cards from an outline path, notes, or pasted casebook excerpts.
  • Leitner-style drill with self-assessment: run a focused drill session that updates bucket status and schedules next reviews based on whether you were right, partial, or wrong.
  • Track progress and target stuck topics: view stats and identify cards that bounce back repeatedly so you can prioritize verbal work when needed.
  • Use targeted sessions: run a fixed N-card session prioritized by missed cards and due cards, and record results in study history.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to drill flashcards for your Contracts deck by running: /law-student:flashcards Contracts --drill

Frequently Asked Questions about flashcards

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate flashcards from my law school outline notes?

To generate flashcards from outline notes, provide an outline path or pasted casebook excerpts. The skill creates question and answer cards for black-letter rule recall and saves them as a per-subject markdown deck for drilling.

How does spaced repetition work for legal flashcard drills?

Spaced repetition uses Leitner-style bucket scheduling during self-assessment drills. Marking answers as right, partial, or wrong updates the card's bucket status to schedule its next review date, prioritizing frequently missed rules.

Can I run a targeted quiz drill session for a specific number of cards?

Yes, you can run a fixed N-card session. The drill mode prioritizes cards that are due for review or were previously missed, records your self-assessment results, and updates your study history and progress statistics.

How do I track memorization progress and identify stuck legal topics?

You can view progress statistics to identify cards that repeatedly bounce back to lower buckets. This highlights stuck black-letter rules so you can prioritize verbal review and targeted quiz drills for those specific topics.

Do I need to provide my own casebook sources to generate black-letter rule flashcards?

You can provide your own outline notes or pasted sources, but if the skill generates rules without user sources provided, it enforces VERIFY tagging. This ensures you confirm the accuracy of any generated legal rules before drilling.

What is the best way to review due flashcards without creating new ones?

The best way to review due flashcards is using the review mode flag. This routes the skill to skip generation and pull only existing cards scheduled for review from your markdown decks, running a Leitner-style self-assessment drill.
