Overview

SLP is a self-hosted study environment you fully own: it runs on your machine, needs no subscription, and works with any agent and any model, local or paid.

Why

Reading is not learning. SLP is built around the loop that turns material into knowledge you can defend:

input      a book, course, paper, class, audiobook
  ↓
read       listen, read, understand the material
  ↓
logic      connect it to what you already accept
  ↓
internalize  the concept holds up on its own
  ↓
externalize  write, explain, build · get feedback · again
  ↓
defend     exams, with the topic's own language

The first steps are yours. The rest needs someone who explains, points out your mistakes and makes you try again. That is the role of the agent: a teacher that probes your level, grades against a rubric, records what you got wrong and brings it back before you forget it.

Knowledge you can't express was never learned. So every step ends in something you produce: notes, answers, exercises, exams.

Four pieces talk to each other through the filesystem:

Layers

core

the app, your notes, exams, cards and session tracking. Needs no agent or model, and every file is plain Markdown or JSON you can write by hand

agent layer

(optional): skills and agents for teaching, grading, feedback, progress and the wiki, on whatever model you plug in
