StudyDash
A Claude Code plugin for structured learning on any subject. Import curricula from PDFs or build your own, track Q&A sessions, get AI-generated visualizations, and validate your understanding with exercises — all from a live dashboard.
Install
# Add the bis-code marketplace (one-time)
/plugin marketplace add bis-code/claude-plugins
# Install the plugin
/plugin install study-dash@bis-code
How It Works
import curriculum → study topics → log Q&A → generate viz → create exercises
| | | | |
PDF / manual set active auto-logged AI step-through coding + quiz
roadmap.sh topic to dashboard diagrams with real tests
Start learning with /learn — pick a subject or create one. Ask questions and Claude auto-logs everything to the dashboard.
Import a curriculum with /import — drop a PDF syllabus from school (itslearning, etc.) and the plugin extracts phases, topics, and assignments automatically.
Dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:19282 — live updates via SSE as you learn.
Dashboard
The dashboard shows your learning progress across all subjects:
- Home — subject switcher, stats grid, recently active topics
- Topics — phase tree with collapsible groups, completion status
- Topic Detail — four tabs:
- Q&A — paired question/answer cards with syntax highlighting
- Visualize — AI-generated step-through diagrams (prev/next controls)
- Exercises — coding exercises with test validation, quizzes, projects, school assignments
- Resources — reference links, context7 docs, imported PDFs
- Search — full-text search across all your notes
Mobile-responsive: bottom nav on phones, sidebar on desktop.
