What it does

Exam Prep Planner is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Build a realistic exam-prep schedule with spaced repetition and retrieval practice — the plan that survives contact with an actual week. Use when asked to plan my exam prep, make a study schedule, I have N weeks until finals, or how do I study for multiple exams. Produces a day-by-day plan across all exams: spaced blocks, retrieval-first sessions, weak-topic weighting, and built-in slack for the days that go wrong.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/worked-example.md`).

It sits in Education, covering Study guides and flashcards. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to plan my exam prep
  • Make a study schedule
  • I have N weeks until finals
  • How do I study for multiple exams

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Retrieval beats rereading — every session is active: closed-book blurts, past papers, self-testing, teach-it-aloud. Rereading appears only…
  2. Spacing beats massing: each topic returns 3+ times with growing gaps (day 1 → day 3 → day 7 → pre-exam). The schedule interleaves subjects…
  3. Weight by (weakness × exam value): red topics on high-weight exams own the morning slots; green topics get maintenance touches only.
  4. The 80% rule: schedule at most 80% of stated available hours — the other 20% is the buffer that saves the plan when Tuesday explodes.
  5. Pre-agreed triage: decide NOW what gets dropped if two days vanish (green topics first, then low-weight material) — triage decided in a…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Exam Prep Planner loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 529 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Build a realistic exam-prep schedule with spaced repetition and retrieval practice — the plan that survives contact with an actual week. Use when asked to plan my exam prep, make a study schedule, I have N weeks until finals, or how do I study for multiple exams. Produces a day-by-day plan across all exams: spaced blocks, retrieval-first sessions, weak-topic weighting, and built-in slack for the days that go wrong.

Exam Prep Planner Skill

Most study plans are written for the student the planner wishes existed: six perfect hours daily, no bad days, rereading counted as studying. This skill plans for the student who exists — retrieval practice over rereading, spacing over cramming, weak topics weighted, and slack built in, because a plan that dies at its first missed day was never a plan.

What This Skill Produces

  • The day-by-day schedule — all exams interleaved, sessions with named topics and methods
  • Retrieval-first sessions — every block says what to do (blurt, past paper, teach-back), never "review chapter 4"
  • Weighting — weak and high-value topics get the prime slots and the most spaced repeats
  • Slack and triage — catch-up buffers, plus the pre-agreed what-to-drop list if time collapses

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • Exams, dates, and formats — all of them; single-exam plans that ignore the others aren't plans
  • Topic lists with self-rated confidence (red/yellow/green per topic — honest ratings)
  • Real available hours — after work, sport, life; the actual number, not the aspirational one
  • What "studying" has meant so far — rereaders need the method change named explicitly

Framework

  1. Retrieval beats rereading — every session is active: closed-book blurts, past papers, self-testing, teach-it-aloud. Rereading appears only as a 10-minute pre-retrieval warmup.
  2. Spacing beats massing: each topic returns 3+ times with growing gaps (day 1 → day 3 → day 7 → pre-exam). The schedule interleaves subjects — blocked days feel productive and test worse.
  3. Weight by (weakness × exam value): red topics on high-weight exams own the morning slots; green topics get maintenance touches only.
  4. The 80% rule: schedule at most 80% of stated available hours — the other 20% is the buffer that saves the plan when Tuesday explodes.
  5. Pre-agreed triage: decide NOW what gets dropped if two days vanish (green topics first, then low-weight material) — triage decided in a panic always cuts the wrong thing.

Missed 1 day → [absorb via buffer] · Missed 3+ → [the triage list, in drop order]

Quality Checks

  • Every session names a retrieval method — zero "review/reread" blocks
  • Every red topic appears ≥3 times with growing spacing
  • Total scheduled ≤ 80% of stated hours
  • All exams share the calendar, weighted by date and value
  • The triage list exists before it's needed

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not schedule rereading as studying — recognition feels like knowledge and tests like its absence
  • Do not plan 100% of available time — a plan without slack is a countdown to abandonment
  • Do not block whole days per subject — interleaving tests better than it feels
  • Do not spend prime hours on green topics because they're pleasant — comfort studying is procrastination with flashcards
  • Do not build guilt into the plan — a missed day triggers the buffer protocol, not a spiral; the plan's job is to survive

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Plan my exam prep."
  • "Make a study schedule."
  • "I have N weeks until finals."
  • "How do I study for multiple exams?"
