What it does

Study Notes Synthesizer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Turn lecture notes, slides, and readings into one exam-ready study guide — synthesis, not summary. Use when asked to make a study guide, combine my notes, prep me for the exam, or organize this course material. Produces a structured guide: core concepts with plain-language explanations, connections between topics, worked examples where the subject has them, self-test questions, and an honest list of gaps in the source notes.

Its SKILL.md is about 970 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, Quizzes and assessments and Plain language and style rules. 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 make a study guide
  • Combine my notes
  • Prep me for the exam
  • Organize this course material

Example prompts

  • “/study-notes-synthesizer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Synthesize, never sequence — organize by concept dependency, not by lecture order; lecture order is how it was taught, not how it's…
  2. Explain-then-anchor: every concept gets a plain-language explanation followed by the formal definition — plain-first is how understanding…
  3. Confusable pairs get side-by-side treatment — the exam lives in the distinctions (elastic vs inelastic, mitosis vs meiosis, validity vs…
  4. Questions at three depths per major concept: recall → application → "explain why X, not Y."
  5. Gaps are findings — if the syllabus lists a topic the materials barely touch, say so at the top, not in passing.

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

Study Notes Synthesizer loads about 967 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 483 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~967
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.6k

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
Turn lecture notes, slides, and readings into one exam-ready study guide — synthesis, not summary. Use when asked to make a study guide, combine my notes, prep me for the exam, or organize this course material. Produces a structured guide: core concepts with plain-language explanations, connections between topics, worked examples where the subject has them, self-test questions, and an honest list of gaps in the source notes.

Study Notes Synthesizer Skill

The difference between notes and knowledge is structure: knowing how the pieces connect and what you'd be asked. This skill synthesizes messy course materials into a guide built for retrieval — and is honest about what the notes don't cover, because the gap you don't know about is the exam question you miss.

What This Skill Produces

  • The concept map in prose — core ideas explained plainly, each linked to what it builds on
  • Connections — where topics relate, contrast, or get confused with each other
  • Self-test questions — retrieval practice at three depths (define / apply / compare-and-why)
  • The gaps list — what the syllabus implies but the notes never cover

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The materials — notes, slides, readings, past papers (paste in any order; messy is fine)
  • The course and level — "Intro Micro, undergrad" calibrates depth
  • The exam format if known — multiple choice, essays, problems — the guide's emphasis follows it
  • What feels shakiest — the guide leads with the student's declared weak spots

Framework

  1. Synthesize, never sequence — organize by concept dependency, not by lecture order; lecture order is how it was taught, not how it's structured.
  2. Explain-then-anchor: every concept gets a plain-language explanation followed by the formal definition — plain-first is how understanding sticks; formal-first is how memorization masquerades as it.
  3. Confusable pairs get side-by-side treatment — the exam lives in the distinctions (elastic vs inelastic, mitosis vs meiosis, validity vs reliability).
  4. Questions at three depths per major concept: recall → application → "explain why X, not Y."
  5. Gaps are findings — if the syllabus lists a topic the materials barely touch, say so at the top, not in passing.

Quality Checks

  • Organized by concept dependency, not lecture chronology
  • Every concept has a plain-language explanation before the formal one
  • Confusable pairs are contrasted side by side
  • Self-test questions span all three depths, with answers at the end
  • The gaps list is present — an empty one must be earned, not assumed

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not summarize lecture by lecture — that's compression, not synthesis, and it preserves the disorganization
  • Do not restate definitions without a plain-language version — fluent jargon is how students discover in the exam that they never understood
  • Do not invent material to fill gaps — flag them; wrong confidence is worse than known ignorance
  • Do not write questions the notes can't answer — self-tests must be checkable against the guide
  • Do not pad the cram sheet — 20 items maximum; a cram sheet with everything is a guide with nothing

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Make a study guide."
  • "Combine my notes."
  • "Prep me for the exam."
  • "Organize this course material."
