SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps students turn class notes, casebook excerpts, or an existing outline into a study outline they actually understand, without outsourcing the core learning work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scaffold-first outline building: Creates a topic tree, subtopics, case-slot placeholders, and exception markers rather than generating a fully written outline.
  • Socratic integration from your materials: Guides you with questions to extract rules, cases, and exceptions from what you paste or upload.
  • Gap and verification discipline: Flags missing or thin coverage with explicit GAP markers and pushes you to verify uncertain or missing rule/citation content.
  • Extending without breaking structure: When extending an existing outline, it keeps your original structure exactly and integrates provided source text.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant: “Build an outline for [subject] from my class notes and casebook section, but scaffold it first and ask me questions as you go.”

Frequently Asked Questions about outline-builder

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a law school exam outline from class notes without the AI doing the work for me?

A scaffold-first outline builder prevents AI from filling in rules by creating a topic tree with empty placeholders, then asking Socratic questions to guide you in extracting rules and cases from your own pasted class notes.

Can I add new material to an existing course outline without breaking the original structure?

You can extend an existing course outline while keeping your original structure exactly intact. The Skill matches your previous formatting and integrates new rules and cases exclusively from the newly provided source text.

What is the best way to track missing rules and thin coverage when creating a study outline?

The best way to track missing rules is by using explicit GAP markers. The Skill flags missing or thin coverage during outline building and pushes you to verify uncertain citations, ensuring your exam preparation remains accurate.

How do Socratic questions help extract casebook rules during exam preparation?

Socratic questions help extract casebook rules by prompting you to identify and articulate legal principles from pasted excerpts. The Skill asks targeted questions instead of generating filled-in rules, ensuring you actively learn the material.

Do I need to upload my syllabus to start scaffolding a topic structure for my outline?

Yes, you need to paste or upload your syllabus and class materials to start scaffolding. The Skill builds the topic structure and subtopics directly from these provided source materials rather than generating a pre-filled outline.

Why does my outline builder leave gaps and placeholders instead of writing out the rules?

An outline builder leaves gaps and placeholders instead of writing rules to satisfy learning-mode constraints. This prevents the AI from generating filled-in content without source input, forcing you to verify uncertain citations and actively learn.
