What it does
Fill In Notes is an agent skill from Polaris-Aeterna/loom-notes. Turn a textbook chapter, lecture, or paper into beautiful "fill-in" study notes — written to be READ (clean statements, intuition) yet engineered to be FILLED (blanks, proof skeletons, "your turn" computations) so the reader learns by active recall. Notes are typeset with the Loom XeLaTeX class in this repo. Use when the user wants study notes from a source with gaps to fill in, worked examples restaged as exercises, or theorems stated but proofs left open. Triggers: "make fill-in notes", "turn this chapter into…
Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files (for example `reference/loom-commands.md`, `reference/method.md` and `reference/pitfalls.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Study guides and flashcards and LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: A gorgeous XeLaTeX class + Claude skill for fill-in study notes — read and fill, learn by active recall.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants study notes from a source with gaps to fill in
- Worked examples restaged as exercises
- Theorems stated but proofs left open
Example prompts
- “fill-in”
- “your turn”
- “make fill-in notes”
- “/fill-in-notes”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the source; find the spine. Skim the chapter/PDF, then name the ONE
- Scaffold. Copy template/ (it brings loom.cls + a starter main.tex).
- Draft each section in the Loom grammar (see the table below).
- Engineer the gaps (~70% read / 30% fill). Read reference/method.md. Blank the

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 290fa40. 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
Fill In Notes loads about 975 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 192 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 399 words (~975 tokens).
“Produce study notes that a learner both reads (passive intake) and fills (active recall). The source is the answer key; the notes are the scaffold. Lead with a spine (one organizing idea) so a chapter becomes a single story, not…”
