独学 Self Learning Platform

A teacher for everything you study alone. It finds your level, explains, grades your work and remembers what you got wrong. You do the learning.

A teacher for people who study alone
01 / why

SLP gives you that someone, and a place to do the work. The teacher never answers for you. It asks before it tells, waits for you to try, and writes down what you got wrong so it comes back.

02 / what you get

A teacher that runs in your agent, a method it follows, and a local app where you do the work. Use it for a book, a certification, a course or a tool's docs.

teacheryour agent

Each topic gets a persona: the kind of person who would teach that subject in real life. A researcher checks facts before they reach you.

methodten skills

Measure your level, teach, summarize, build exams and exercises, grade, make cards, plan the session. Same steps every time.

agent/skills/slp-*/SKILL.md
appuv run slp

Runs on localhost. Notes with Mermaid, LaTeX and images, typed or dictated. Exams, exercises, cards. It records every study session on its own.

1 notes · 2 exams · 3 cards
03 / how you study

Three windows side by side. You read the material, work in the app, and ask the teacher when you're stuck.

04 / the method

Find your level, learn, practice, get graded, review. Each pass starts from what the last one found out about you.

01 / 05

  1. level01

    A short quiz that finds where you are. Same bank each time, so you can see yourself move.

    /slp-quiz
  2. prepare02

    The teacher explains until you understand it, not memorize it, then turns the material into notes.

    /slp-teach · /slp-summarize
  3. practice03

    Exams you sit in the app. Exercises where you build something: code, an ADR, a critique.

    /slp-exam · /slp-exercises
  4. feedback04

    Every attempt graded against a rubric. Each miss points to the note that covers it.

    /slp-grade
  5. review05

    Cards made from your own notes, spaced with Leitner boxes so they don't fade.

    /slp-cards · /slp-session
  6. again↺

    Each pass starts from what the last one found out about you.

    the teacher keeps the profile

// when you finish a unit, the teacher suggests the next step: cards, then an exercise, then an exam

05 / a session

Your session. Your call.

Every session starts with /slp-session. You decide what to do; the teacher adapts and writes it all down.

06 / memory

It remembers what you got wrong.

The teacher keeps no memory between chats. Your topic folder does. Every skill reads it before it writes, so the next lesson starts where the last one ended.

07 / yours

Everything is a file on your disk.

No account, no database, no subscription. Notes are Markdown, exams and cards are JSON. Open them in any editor, put them in git, write any of it by hand.

Any agent, any model.

The skills use the SKILL.md format and AGENTS.md explains the project to any agent. Use a cloud model, or a local one through Ollama. Free and open source: the only cost is the model your agent already uses.

08 / get started

Have this ready: what you want to study, your sources, a deadline, how often, and why.

01 · install: get uv, clone the repo and start the app
$ curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
$ git clone https://github.com/GustavoPenaBeltrami/self-learning-platform.git
$ cd self-learning-platform && uv run slp
02 · set up your agent: paste this once
Read AGENTS.md, then read agent/skills/slp-setup/SKILL.md and follow it.
03 · start your first topic, then begin every session with /slp-session
/slp-init  I want to start studying HTTP.

// windows: see installation

09 / faq
Does it work offline?

The app, notes, cards and exams work offline. The teacher needs a model. With a local model through Ollama you can study fully offline; with a cloud model you need internet.

What can I study?

A book, a certification, a course, a tool's docs. You point the teacher at your sources, set a deadline and a pace, and it builds the topic from there.

Will the teacher just give me the answers?

No. It asks before it tells, waits for you to try, grades your attempt against a rubric and records what you got wrong so it comes back in the next exercise.

Where is my data?

On your disk, in topics/<slug>/. Notes are Markdown, exams and cards are JSON. There is no account and no database.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You install uv, clone the repo and paste one prompt into your agent. After that you talk to it in plain language.

What does it cost?

Nothing. SLP is open source under the MIT license. You pay only for the model your agent uses, if any.

Study alone. Never unguided.

One person, one topic, and the discipline to keep going. The agent teaches, quizzes and grades. The learning stays yours.
