What Paideia means

In ancient Greece, Παιδεία was never the deposit of facts into a passive student. It was the lifelong formation of a complete human being — through structured encounter with primary texts, guided practice under a master, and reflective dialogue that folds feedback into deeper revision.

This plugin implements that cycle for the specific, bounded problem of exam preparation in math, physics, and engineering courses:

  ingest ──▶ analyze ──▶ drill ──▶ grade ──▶ weakmap ──▶ cheatsheet
     ▲                                                        │
     └────────────────── feedback loop ───────────────────────┘

Every stage produces a markdown artifact that lives in your course folder forever. Nothing is ephemeral. Nothing is hidden behind an API. Nothing stops working when the next funding winter hits.

What generic study tools can't do

Most study tools can't personalize to your course, your professor, or your mistakes — because the product they sell is a generic curriculum.

• Coursera, edX, Khan Academy — fixed curriculum; no idea what your professor actually emphasizes.
• Quizlet, Anki, Brainscape — you manually curate every card; nothing derives patterns from your own solution manuals.
• Chegg, Course Hero — generic solution manuals; not organized around your course's recurring idioms.
• Brilliant, Duolingo Max, Khanmigo — generic exercises; no knowledge of what you got wrong on HW2 last month.
• ChatGPT Study Mode, Gemini "Deep Study", NotebookLM — no persistent per-course state. Every new session starts cold, and last week's mistakes don't shape this week's drill unless you re-upload and re-explain.
