SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of creating (and extending) a course outline that you can trust for studying, by turning your class materials into a structured scaffold with prompts that force active rule-writing rather than AI-filled answers.

Core Features & Use Cases

Learning-mode scaffold building: Creates headings, subheadings, case slots, and exception placeholders without writing the substantive rules for you.
Notes-to-outline alignment: When you paste or extend from your own materials, it integrates your provided text verbatim into the outline structure.
Gap detection with provenance discipline: Flags missing cases, unclear exceptions, and thin spots using explicit gap markers to prevent studying incorrect material.

Quick Start

Use the outline-builder skill to build a scaffolded outline for Evidence by providing your class notes or a casebook section, and then answer the Socratic prompts to fill each rule yourself.

FAQPage Schema

How do I build a law school outline from class notes without the AI filling in the rules?▼

To build a law school outline from class notes without AI filling in the rules, use a scaffold builder that creates headings, case slots, and exception placeholders, leaving the substantive rule-writing to you. This enforces active learning by refusing to invent rules without source text.

What is the best way to structure a casebook outline for gap detection?▼

The best way to structure a casebook outline for gap detection is to use a scaffold that flags missing cases and unclear exceptions with explicit gap markers. This provenance discipline prevents studying incorrect material by marking thin spots where your notes are incomplete.

Can I extend an existing course outline with new casebook notes?▼

Yes, you can extend an existing course outline with new casebook notes. The outline builder preserves the exact structure of your existing outline and integrates your pasted text verbatim, aligning new notes-to-outline without disrupting the original provenance cues.

How does Socratic prompting work for study preparation in an outline scaffold?▼

Socratic prompting for study preparation works by inserting active learning prompts directly into your outline scaffold. Instead of providing answers, the scaffold forces you to answer questions to fill each rule yourself, turning passive reading into active rule-writing.

What happens if my pasted class materials are missing a rule for my outline?▼

If your pasted class materials are missing a rule for your outline, the builder enforces learning-mode requirements by refusing to invent the rule. It instead marks the missing information with explicit gap markers, ensuring you only study verified material with clear provenance.
