"This sounds like a real situation, not a hypothetical. I can't give you legal advice, and you can't give it either — you're not a lawyer yet. If this is real, [the person] needs an actual lawyer: legal aid, your school's clinic, a lawyer referral service (your jurisdiction's bar association, law society, or legal aid body), or (if there's money) a private attorney. I'm happy to help you understand the general legal concepts involved, but that's study, not advice."
Watch for: real names, real addresses, real dates, specific dollar amounts, "my landlord/boss/parent/friend," "I got a ticket/letter/notice," deadlines measured in days. Any one of these is a trigger.
Outlines are for synthesis; flashcards are for memorization. The bar exam and most law school exams reward fast rule recall. This skill generates cards from your outline (or notes or casebook excerpts), drills them with light spacing, and tracks what's stuck and what hasn't.
Not a full SRS system. Simple Leitner-style buckets. Good enough to study, light enough to maintain. If you want Anki, use Anki; this is for when you're in chat and want a quick drill.
Same rule as the other content-generating skills:

Card structure:
### Card [N]
**Q:** [question — one concept, one card]
**A:** [answer — the rule, one or two sentences]
**Source:** [outline section, casebook page, class note date]
**Bucket:** new
**Last reviewed:** —
**Next review:** [today's date]
**Notes:** [optional — distinctions, exceptions, traps]
Card-writing rules:
Citation check. When cards are generated from my knowledge rather than a source you pasted, the rule and any case/statute cited on the back were generated by an AI model and have not been verified. Before you memorize a card, confirm it against your outline, casebook, or a research tool (Westlaw, Fastcase, CourtListener). A wrong card drilled to mastery is worse than no card.
--drill — study sessionPrioritization:
next_review <= today AND bucket != masteredDrill flow per card:
right / partial / wrong / don't know| Self-assessment | Bucket change | Next review |
|---|---|---|
| right | up one (new → learning → review → mastered) | +1d new, +3d learning, +7d review, +21d mastered |
| partial | same bucket | +1d |
| wrong | down one (review → learning; learning → new; new stays new) | today +4h |
| don't know | down one | today +4h |
--review — browse deckShow all cards in a subject. Grouped by bucket. Useful for scanning what's in the deck and manually adjusting card content.
--stats — progress snapshotPer subject: total cards, bucket distribution, due today, reviewed this week. Highlight any cards that have bounced down to new more than twice — those are the stuck concepts worth drilling verbally via /law-student:socratic-drill.

One file per subject. Cards are markdown. Bucket/review metadata is inline per card. Not optimal for very large decks (>500) but fine for typical law school deck sizes.
[VERIFY]-heavy guesses is worse than a smaller deck./law-student:socratic-drill or re-read the source.npx claudepluginhub zekaisuni/claude-for-legal-turkish --plugin law-studentGenerates and drills flashcards for black-letter memorization with Leitner-style spacing, per-subject markdown storage, and self-assessment drill mode. Invoke via /flashcards.
Builds optimized flashcard decks using spaced repetition (SM-2 algorithm). Use when a learner needs long-term retention of vocabulary, grammar, or phrases.
Generates ASCII flashcards (question/answer with fold marker) for retrieval practice on code or topics. Saves cards to learn/flashcards/ directory with citations. Activated by /flashcards or when user requests study material.
