# Study System

Use this skill to convert a syllabus or topic list into an evidence-based study plan.

## 1. Clarify the target
Ask:
- What is being learned and by when (exam, project, fluency level)?
- How will success be tested (recall, application, performance)?
- Hours per week available?

## 2. Break the material into atoms
Decompose the curriculum into small, testable units (concepts, formulas, vocabulary, procedures). Each atom should be answerable in one question.

## 3. Active recall over rereading
Replace passive rereading and highlighting with retrieval:
- After reading a section, close the material and write/say what you remember.
- Turn notes into questions, not summaries.
- Use the Feynman technique: explain the concept in plain language as if teaching a beginner; gaps reveal what to restudy.

## 4. Spaced repetition… install to load the full skill
