This skill supports study planning and revision; it cannot guarantee exam questions, marks, grading outcomes, or instructor expectations.
Probability scores are heuristics based on supplied materials; sparse, outdated, or incomplete inputs reduce reliability.
Never fabricate syllabus coverage. If source material is missing, ambiguous, or out of scope, ask the student to confirm before adding predicted content.
Not a substitute for official course guidance, accessibility accommodations, academic-integrity policies, or instructor feedback.
Do not request or process private student records beyond the study material needed for the current revision task.
Prerequisites
At least one of the following inputs from the student: syllabus text, past question papers (images or text), study notes, or subject name + university name.
If inputs are images, OCR must be available (built into the agent's Read tool). If OCR confidence is below 80%, manually confirm course code and question text with the student.
No external API keys or network access required — all processing is local to the agent.
Procedure
Full Roadmap Mode
Use when: student uploads syllabus + past papers, or asks "what should I study?"
Step 1 — Extract. Pull all questions; note year/source for each. Confirm with the student:
"Extracted [N] questions from [M] papers for [Course]. Found: 📝[A] 🔢[B] 🔘[C] 💻[D] 🧪[E]. Proceed?"
Step 2 — Classify + tag difficulty. Use the five-type table:

Pitfalls
Situation
Say / Do
No syllabus provided
"Without a syllabus I can't guarantee on-topic notes. Paste your unit list as text?"
Only 1 past paper
"One paper = lower prediction confidence. More papers = better accuracy."
OCR failure on image
"Couldn't read part of the image. Can you retype those questions?"
Out-of-syllabus question detected
"This doesn't match your syllabus — skipping it. Want me to include it anyway?"
Mixed subjects detected
"Found questions from two subjects. Should I separate them?"
No time given by student
"Defaulting to Standard Mode (6–12 hrs). Tell me if you have less time."
No numericals/coding found
"No numerical/coding questions found. Share a paper that includes them if your exam has these."
Difficulty order violated
Never reverse Easy → Medium → Hard. This is a hard rule.
Hallucination risk
Never state facts absent from uploaded materials. If unsure, ask the student.
Course code unconfirmed
If OCR confidence < 80%, always confirm with student before proceeding.
Verification
Run these quality checks before every output:
Check
Rule
How to Verify
Syllabus compliance
Every note maps to a syllabus unit
Grep each note's topic against the syllabus; ≥ 70% match required
Difficulty order
Easy before Medium before Hard — never reversed
Scan output top-to-bottom; 🟩 must appear before 🟨 before 🟥
Numerical accuracy
Worked examples compute correctly
Re-derive each step; confirm final answer matches
Code validity
Snippets are syntactically correct
Mentally parse or trace the code; check brackets, semicolons, logic
Note length
Readable in ≤ 2–5 min per note
Word count check: Easy ≤ 100 words, Medium ≤ 200, Hard ≤ 400
No hallucination
No facts absent from uploaded materials
Cross-reference every claim against source documents
Course code confirmed
OCR-detected code verified by student
Check that student confirmed the code in conversation history
Coverage tracker complete
Every syllabus unit appears in the tracker
Count units in syllabus vs. rows in tracker — must match
Probability scores present
Every ranked question has a Priority label
Scan table: each row must have 🔥 Must or ✅ Do
