Two Claude Code skills that turn any knowledge source into an Obsidian StudyVault and then quiz you on it — closing the loop from content to comprehension.

Skills Overview

Skill	Command	Purpose	Input	Output
tutor-setup	`/tutor-setup`	Generate a StudyVault	Documents or source code	Obsidian vault with notes, dashboards, practice questions
tutor	`/tutor`	Interactive quiz tutor	An existing StudyVault	Quiz sessions with concept-level progress tracking

Quick Start

One-line install (recommended)

npx skills add RoundTable02/tutor-skills

Requires npx skills — works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

Manual install

git clone https://github.com/RoundTable02/tutor-skills.git
cd tutor-skills
./install.sh

Step 1: Generate a StudyVault

cd ~/study-materials/          # or any source code project
claude
> /tutor-setup

Step 2: Start Quizzing

claude
> /tutor

tutor-setup

Transforms knowledge sources into a structured Obsidian StudyVault. Mode is auto-detected:

Marker Found	Mode
`package.json`, `pom.xml`, `build.gradle`, `Cargo.toml`, `go.mod`, etc.	Codebase Mode
No project markers	Document Mode

Document Mode

Turns PDFs, text files, web pages, and other sources into comprehensive study notes.

Auto-scans working directory for source files (PDF, TXT, MD, HTML, EPUB)
Extracts and analyzes content with verified source mapping
Generates concept notes with comparison tables, ASCII diagrams, and exam patterns
Creates practice questions with hidden answers (active recall via fold callouts)
Builds a dashboard with Map of Content (MOC), Quick Reference, and Exam Traps
Full interlinking with [[wiki-links]] across all notes

Phases

Phase	Name	Description
D1	Source Discovery	Scan, extract, and verify source content mapping
D2	Content Analysis	Build topic hierarchy and dependency map
D3	Tag Standard	Define English kebab-case tag registry
D4	Vault Structure	Create numbered folders per topic
D5	Dashboard	MOC, Quick Reference, Exam Traps
D6	Concept Notes	Structured notes with tables, diagrams, callouts
D7	Practice Questions	Active recall with fold callouts (8+ per topic)
D8	Interlinking	Cross-reference all notes with wiki-links
D9	Self-Review	Verify against quality checklist

Generated structure

  02-<Topic2>/
  ...

Codebase Mode

Generates a new-developer onboarding vault from a source code project.

Auto-detects tech stack, architecture patterns, and module boundaries
Traces request flows and data flows end-to-end
Creates per-module notes with key files, public interfaces, and dependency maps
Generates onboarding exercises (code reading, configuration, debugging, extension)
Builds a dashboard with architecture overview, module map, API surface, and getting started guide

Phases

Phase	Name	Description
C1	Project Exploration	Scan files, detect tech stack, map layout
C2	Architecture Analysis	Identify patterns, trace flows, map modules
C3	Tag Standard	Define `#arch-`, `#module-`, `#pattern-*` registry
C4	Vault Structure	Create dashboard + per-module folders
C5	Dashboard	MOC with module map, API surface, getting started
C6	Module Notes	Purpose, key files, interface, flow, dependencies
C7	Exercises	Code reading, config, debugging, extension tasks
C8	Interlinking	Cross-link all modules and exercises
C9	Self-Review	Verify against quality checklist

tutor

Interactive quiz tutor that tracks what you know and don't know at the concept level. Works with any StudyVault generated by tutor-setup.

Session Types

Type	When Available	Focus
Diagnostic	Unmeasured areas (⬜) exist	Broad assessment of new areas
Drill weak areas	Weak areas (🟥/🟨) exist	Targeted practice on struggles
Choose a section	Always	Study any area on demand
Hard-mode review	All areas 🟩/🟦	Challenge mastered material

Quiz Flow

Detects your StudyVault and reads the learning dashboard
Presents session options based on your current proficiency
Delivers 4 questions per round (4 options each, zero hints)
Grades answers and explains mistakes
Updates concept files and dashboard automatically

Progress Tracking

Proficiency is tracked per area with emoji badges:

Badge	Level	Rate
🟥	Weak	0–39%
🟨	Fair	40–69%
🟩	Good	70–89%
🟦	Mastered	90–100%
⬜	Unmeasured	No data

Concept-level tracking stores attempts, correct count, last tested date, and error notes for wrong answers — so drill sessions rephrase missed concepts in new contexts.
