SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning a fixed set of learning materials into a durable, traceable study guide is slow and error-prone: summaries lose provenance, practice questions leak answers, and conflicting definitions get silently merged. This Skill converts a bounded source set into a structured guide where every definition, example, and solution traces back to a source locator. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Source concept ledger: Inventories every source with stable IDs and locators, then records each concept's definition, prerequisites, notation, examples, traps, provenance class, and confidence before drafting. - Provenance classification: Labels every element as source-content, source-derived, generated-scaffolding, generated-inference, or unsupported, so generated material never masquerades as a source claim. - Retrieval and practice generation: Builds flashcard-ready prompts and practice problems across recall, application, comparison, and misconception repair, each audited for answer leakage and ambiguity. - Use Case: A student supplies three lecture PDFs and a textbook chapter on thermodynamics and asks for a study guide at exam level; the Skill produces a concept map, scoped definitions, worked examples, flashcards, practice problems with cited solutions, and a prerequisite-first review order. ## Quick Start Use the sd-study-guide skill to turn these attached course notes into a study guide with flashcards and practice problems for an undergraduate exam.

Frequently Asked Questions about sd-study-guide

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a study guide from my course notes with AI?▼

Supply your notes, files, or links as the sources argument and state the learner, purpose, and target level. The Skill reads every accessible source in full, builds a concept ledger, and produces definitions, worked examples, retrieval prompts, practice problems, and a review sequence.

How to generate flashcards and practice problems from a textbook chapter?▼

Provide the chapter as a bounded source and choose the flashcards or practice format. Each prompt gets one clear retrieval target or rubric, and every answer cites supporting concept IDs and source locators or carries a generated or unsupported label.

Can the study guide include material beyond the sources I provide?▼

No, external research or general-knowledge answers are excluded unless you separately approve expanding the source boundary. Content the corpus cannot support is labeled unsupported with an evidence gap rather than filled with invented answers.

What happens when sources define the same term differently?▼

Each conflicting definition is preserved with its source, context, and scope. The Skill never silently picks one definition or blends incompatible notation, and conflicts appear in a dedicated conflict and unsupported-content ledger.

When should I not use a study guide generator?▼

Avoid it for extreme compression, one-concept explanations, live adaptive quizzes, or step-by-step tutorials; those belong to sibling skills like sd-distill, sd-explain, sd-socratic-review, or sd-tutorial. It also never certifies mastery or tracks learner performance.
