Study Notes Synthesizer

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-07-17 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-students

Turn lecture notes, slides, and readings into one exam-ready study guide — synthesis, not summary. Use when asked to make a study guide, combine my notes, prep me for the exam, or organize this course material. Produces a structured guide: core concepts with plain-language explanations, connections between topics, worked examples where the subject has them, self-test questions, and an honest list of gaps in the source notes.

What to give it

The materials — notes, slides, readings, past papers (paste in any order; messy is fine)
The course and level — "Intro Micro, undergrad" calibrates depth
The exam format — if known — multiple choice, essays, problems — the guide's emphasis follows it
What feels shakiest — the guide leads with the student's declared weak spots

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

Organized by concept dependency, not lecture chronology
Every concept has a plain-language explanation before the formal one
Confusable pairs are contrasted side by side
Self-test questions span all three depths, with answers at the end
The gaps list is present — an empty one must be earned, not assumed

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not summarize lecture by lecture — that's compression, not synthesis, and it preserves the disorganization
Do not restate definitions without a plain-language version — fluent jargon is how students discover in the exam that they never understood
Do not invent material to fill gaps — flag them; wrong confidence is worse than known ignorance
Do not write questions the notes can't answer — self-tests must be checkable against the guide
Do not pad the cram sheet — 20 items maximum; a cram sheet with everything is a guide with nothing
