What it does

Once installed, the agent can turn your law outline, notes, or casebook excerpts into short question-and-answer flashcards, then quiz you one card at a time. After you answer, you rate yourself, and the skill moves cards between simple buckets so hard ones come back sooner. It also tracks stats and stuck topics, and it avoids giving legal advice on real-life situations, redirecting those to actual lawyers or legal aid.

Great for

  • Law students memorizing black-letter rules for exams or the bar
  • Students who want a quick drill inside chat instead of a full Anki setup
  • Students building a per-subject deck incrementally from their own outlines

Skip it if

  • Real legal problems such as a lease, ticket, or dispute: the skill is for study and will redirect you to a lawyer or legal aid
  • Treating AI-generated cards as verified law: cards written from the model's own knowledge may be wrong and must be checked against a source

Try asking

  • “Make flashcards from my Contracts outline at ~/notes/contracts.md”
  • “Quiz me on cards for Torts, 5 cards, focusing on my weak topics”
  • “Show me stats on my Criminal Law deck and which cards keep bouncing back to new”
  • “Drill flashcards for the parol evidence rule”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give it your own outline or casebook excerpt as the source so cards come from material you trust, not from the model's memory.
  • Check every card marked [VERIFY] and every cited case or statute against your casebook or a research tool before memorizing it.
  • Use --session with a subject and card count for short focused drills, and --stats to find cards that keep failing.
