## What it does

The skill runs after a chapter has been taught and its material saved, but before the phase is closed in a structured workspace. It reads the current chapter from `references/wiki/chNN*.md`, examples from `references/teaching_examples.json`, questions from `references/quiz_bank.json` and images from `references/assets/`, then groups the knowledge points. Every point gets the same walkthrough: pick the formula, map the variables, substitute, solve, explain why the answer follows in beginner terms, and cite the source.

Activation needs an explicit `study_state.json.processing_mode=full`. Lightweight mode never calls this module, not even for a one-off handout, so you switch to full processing and reconfirm the start gate first. Output intent comes from `study_state.json`: `chat` builds the typed manifest and stops, while `visual` continues through rendering, receipt binding and QA on every page. A standing choice is stored with `update_progress.py set --artifact-mode chat|visual`.

Source Markdown accepts only `$...$` and `$$...$$` as delimiters. Forms like `(A\cup B)`, `[P=\frac{...}]`, `\(...\)` and `\[...\]` are rejected, so migrate them explicitly instead of rewriting a formula by eye. Markdown and JSON stay auditable sources; the derived artifact never overwrites them.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

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

### Claude.ai

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

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/ZeKaiNie/universal-examprep-skill/tree/HEAD/full/skills/exam-study-guide/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a chapter guide that walks through every worked example
- get readable formulas instead of raw LaTeX in Markdown
- produce a printable handout with images included
- merge lecture, homework, Quiz and mock-exam items into one list
- check that every knowledge point in the chapter is covered

## Example prompts
- Build the study guide for the current chapter in `visual` mode
- Make a handout for this chapter with every example explained and Quiz answers included
- Compile a printable PDF of the chapter with readable formulas

# Exam Study Guide

## Purpose

After teaching the current chapter, build its validated typed Study Guide manifest; in visual mode, compile that manifest into a readable, self-contained HTML Study Guide and printable PDF before phase completion. A Study Guide is a teaching artifact, not a dump of the wiki and bank: it groups knowledge points with every mapped lecture, homework, Quiz, mock-exam, past-exam, or textbook example and explains each one through formula selection, variable mapping, substitution, solution, a beginner-first explanation of why the answer follows, and source trace. Keep Markdown/JSON as auditable sources and never overwrite them with a derived artifact.

## Activation

Require explicit `study_state.json.processing_mode=full`. Lightweight mode never
invokes this module, even for a one-shot handout request; explain that Study Guide
generation requires switching to full processing and reconfirming the start gate.

Use this module after the exam workspace/current chapter are confirmed and its substantive teaching is persisted, but before `complete-phase` in a structured workspace. Restore the current phase and effective `artifact_mode` from `study_state.json` before selecting `<N>`. `chat` still builds and imports the mandatory typed `profile=full` manifest, then stops without HTML/PDF; a recognized standing `visual` preference continues through rendering, receipt binding, and all-page QA. A direct one-shot handout request follows its explicit output scope without rewriting the stored preference. Never inspect or infer the student's subscription. Preserve the parent exam-coach language and provenance contracts in all chat summaries.

## Inputs

- Exactly one current-chapter `references/wiki/chNN*.md` file, used as source evidence rather than pasted wholesale.
```
