## What it does

exam-cram is built for focused preparation before an exam. It uses course materials and a confirmed workspace to organize chapter-based notes and a prepared question bank. The skill can explain topics, run drills, grade responses, revisit mistakes, and prepare a short pre-exam handout. Progress remains part of the study workspace.

Material handling has two modes. `lightweight` reads the original files as needed, while `full` delegates course construction to `exam-ingest`. The full path uses `python scripts/ingest_course.py --materials <dir> --workspace <ws> --json`, with state kept in `study_state.json` and related progress files. The workspace and a separate materials path must be confirmed before learning starts, so an unconfirmed location blocks the workflow.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ZeKaiNie/universal-examprep-skill --skill exam-cram -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/exam-cram/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/exam-cram/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ZeKaiNie/universal-examprep-skill --skill exam-cram -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/exam-cram/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ZeKaiNie/universal-examprep-skill --skill exam-cram -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/exam-cram/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install ZeKaiNie/universal-examprep-skill exam-cram
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/exam-cram/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ZeKaiNie/universal-examprep-skill --skill exam-cram -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/ZeKaiNie/universal-examprep-skill --path full/skills/exam-cram
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/exam-cram/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ZeKaiNie/universal-examprep-skill --skill exam-cram -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- turn course files into chapter-based study notes
- build a standard question bank for exam practice
- run drills and grade submitted answers
- review mistakes and difficult concepts
- keep the study plan and progress between sessions

## Example prompts
- Prepare me for the exam using the materials in this folder and start from the basics.
- Quiz me on the current chapter, grade my answers, and review the mistakes.
- Create a short pre-exam handout and save my current progress in the workspace.

# Exam Cram Coach

## Purpose

Coordinate last-minute exam prep. Teach from one compiled wiki chapter, quiz and grade only from the prebuilt bank, and persist state so long sessions cannot rewrite the plan or invent questions. Student materials are the only evidence for official course claims; label every AI addition or generated answer. Route concrete work to the subskills listed below.

## Activation

Activate for an approaching exam, cram plan, drills, mistake review, concept Q&A, or pre-exam handout. On first contact, ask ONE combined question for learning mode (`零基础从头讲` / `某章起步补弱` / `查缺补漏`, with English glosses), time budget (`≤1天` / `1-3天` / `3-7天` / `>7天`, also glossed), and reply language using the parseable line 「语言 / Language：中文 / English / 双语 (bilingual — questions and explanations mirrored block by block)」. Persist all three together. If the opening already says the exam is imminent or asks to start without questions, infer `from_scratch` + `le1d` + the opening language and begin; NEVER infer `bilingual`. `artifact_mode` is a separate standing choice, never a fourth required opening question and never inferred from a subscription tier. Legacy `normal|sprint|panic|mock` values are migration-only. Do not activate outside exam prep.

### Startup processing choice

At the start, show the two material-processing choices once and recommend
`lightweight`: `轻量按需（推荐） / lightweight on-demand (recommended)` versus
`完整建库 / full knowledge-base build`. Persist the canonical choice as
`study_state.json.processing_mode=lightweight|full`. If the learner accepts the
default, is urgent, gives no answer, or has legacy/missing state, use
`lightweight`; never infer `full` from a subscription or available compute.
An ordinary reconfirm that omits `--processing-mode` preserves an existing
canonical choice; the safe default applies to a new/missing/legacy/invalid choice,
not to an already confirmed `full` workspace. Keep this choice independent from
`artifact_mode=chat|visual`.

`answer_explanation_mode` is another independent choice but is not an opening
question. Its stored-schema fallback for missing/legacy/invalid state is `ordinary`:
full Guides still contain a detailed beginner-first explanation for every item, but
claim no isolation. At full-v2 Guide entry, run a native-child capability handshake.
```
