outline-builder

Building a law school outline from your syllabus and class notes requires extracting content only from user-provided sources and inserting gap placeholders with verification discipline when source text is missing. This process creates a topic and subtopic structure with case slots before any content is filled in.

Extending an existing course outline while keeping the same format is supported through strict format matching to the prior structure. The system integrates rules verbatim when you paste your own notes or casebook text for extraction.

The AI will not write the rules and analysis if you do not provide source material. Learning-mode guardrails prevent AI-from-scratch completion by refusing to populate rules from AI knowledge, instead using gaps and Socratic prompts.

Gap detection works by flagging thin or unclear areas with markers like GAP, VERIFY, and UNCERTAIN. It prompts you to reconcile contradictions using your uploaded materials when source text is missing or incomplete.

Scaffold-first outline building for law students creates a topic, subtopic, and case slot structure with placeholders before any content is filled in. This enforces learning-mode scaffolding that prevents AI-from-scratch completion.

A CLAUDE.md file is needed to load stored outline preferences from the configured context. This ensures the builder applies your specific format matching and learning-mode guardrails during the scaffolding process.
