SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This workflow identifies the exact prerequisites a learning material assumes, flags which gaps the reader has, and builds targeted briefs to bridge those gaps, enabling efficient, guided study.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ingest material and map the prerequisite surface (5-15 concepts) with names, roles, and difficulty levels.
  • Conduct a multi-round adaptive diagnostic (up to ~15 questions) to determine each concept's floor.
  • Produce 2–3 foundation briefs plus a main brief, published to SiYuan under a Learning Prereqs hub for easy reference.
  • Publish a structured guided reading plan that preserves original media and links back to the briefs.
  • Run a mastery check after guided reading to verify understanding and surface remaining gaps.
  • Optional integration with a companion flashcards workflow for spaced repetition.

Quick Start

Provide the learning material URL or PDF and I will start the diagnostic, prereq mapping, and SiYuan publishing workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about learning-prereqs

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose prerequisite knowledge gaps before reading complex learning materials?

Diagnose prerequisite knowledge gaps by ingesting a learning material URL or PDF to map assumed concepts, running an adaptive diagnostic to establish your floor, and generating targeted briefs to bridge gaps.

What is guided reading and how does it help bridge prerequisite gaps?

Guided reading is a structured plan that preserves original media and links back to foundation briefs, helping you bridge prerequisite gaps efficiently before proceeding with formal study.

How do I map prerequisite concepts for a PDF learning material?

Map prerequisite concepts for a PDF by ingesting the document to identify 5-15 assumed concepts with names, roles, and difficulty levels, then running a multi-round adaptive diagnostic to determine your baseline.

Can I publish diagnostic results and guided reading plans to SiYuan?

Yes, you can publish diagnostic results, foundation briefs, guided reading plans, and mastery checks to SiYuan as a structured Learning Prereqs hub for easy reference and continued study.

Does this diagnostic workflow support spaced repetition flashcards?

Yes, the diagnostic workflow supports optional integration with a companion flashcards workflow for spaced repetition to reinforce prerequisite concepts after guided reading.

How do I verify understanding of prerequisite concepts after guided reading?

Verify understanding of prerequisite concepts by running a mastery check after guided reading, which confirms comprehension and surfaces any remaining knowledge gaps for further study.
