README
Claude Tutor for Obsidian

Learn the notes and PDFs in your vault with the **Feynman technique**. Your tutor is Clawd, a pixel tutor in glasses. You explain an idea in plain words; Clawd finds what's missing, wrong or hidden behind jargon, re-teaches just that, and quizzes you until it sticks. Claude runs through your **Claude Code login**, so your Pro/Max subscription works and you don't need an API key. You can use OpenAI's models through the **Codex CLI** instead.
What it does:
- Explain: Feynman loop with a score, what you nailed, gaps (missing / wrong / jargon / vague), targeted re-teaching, an analogy, prerequisite drill-down, hints and "I'm stuck".
- Quiz: multiple choice (keys 1–4), short answer, explain-why and spot-the-error questions, with a confidence rating (keys G / U / C). Wrong answers get a diagnosed misconception, a mini-lesson and a new check question.
- Composers: Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a line, Esc cancels a reply that's taking too long. Unsent explanations survive closing the view.
- Ask Clawd at any point, spaced repetition (SM-2) per concept, and a Mistakes log that quizzes keep targeting.
- PDFs: text extraction (poppler
pdftotext, falling back to Obsidian's built-in pdf.js), long PDFs split into page ranges, and page citations. Scanned PDFs are listed as unreadable. - Math: Claude writes all formulae as LaTeX (
$…$,$$…$$), and everything is rendered with Obsidian's own Markdown renderer and MathJax, including quiz options, gaps and fixes. Formulas garbled by PDF extraction are written back as LaTeX. - Clawd has 10 moods, follows your cursor, and falls asleep when you leave.
What's different in Obsidian
- *The library is your vault.
