exam-help

Purpose

Render a single-screen reference card for the exam-cram skill suite: the four-step workflow, 3 learning modes and 4 time tiers, workspace file conventions, six quiz types, anti-hallucination and provenance rules, and when to use each subskill. Read-only.

Activation

Activate when the user asks how this skill works, what modes exist, what each workspace file is for, or which quiz types are supported (e.g. 「这个技能怎么用 / 有哪些模式 / 文件都是干嘛的 / 支持什么题型」).

Inputs

None. Take no files, no arguments, no workspace state. Emit the static card from the language packs (see Language packs below).

Workflow

1. Print the reference card from the language packs (see Language packs below). If a workspace with a persisted study_state.json language is in play, follow it (中文 → zh pack verbatim, English → en pack, 双语 → bilingual composition per exam-cram's dispatch rule); otherwise honor an explicit ad-hoc language request. exam-help itself reads no state — the caller passes the language.
2. Do not read, scan, or load any workspace files (references/wiki/, references/quiz_bank.json, study_progress.md, study_plan.md).
3. Do not run scripts/ingest.py or any subskill.
4. End. Do not start tutoring, quizzing, ingesting, or grading.

Output Contract

• Output exactly one help card; perform no further action.
• Mutate no state: write/create/delete no files; do not touch study_progress.md or any workspace artifact.
• Do not teach, quiz, grade, or initialize a workspace.
• Preserve provenance markers verbatim where shown: 🟢 来自资料 / 🟡 AI补充，可能与你老师讲的不完全一致 / ⚠️ AI生成答案，非老师/教材提供.
• Student-facing output defaults to English (Simplified Chinese if the student opened in Chinese); a persisted study_state.json language (中文/English/双语) switches the card's rendering per exam-cram's dispatch rule, and an explicit ad-hoc request is honored when no workspace is in play.

Language packs

Student-visible wording for this skill lives in per-language packs — load the one matching study_state.json.language BEFORE emitting any student-visible output:

• zh → ../../locales/zh/skills/exam-help.md
• en → ../../locales/en/skills/exam-help.md
• bilingual → compose from the zh pack with a > EN: mirror line per block (rules in ../../docs/language-policy.md) Unset language → this is the first conversation: the merged first-ask (mode × time budget × language) decides it; default en unless the student opened in Chinese.

Boundaries

This card is read-only and executes no teaching action. To start reviewing, tell exam-cram your subject and remaining time.
