Why this level
- Methodology and instructions only: the skill runs nothing itself
- In batch transcription scans go to the recognition model you choose, and you are responsible for rights to the material
Install

What it does
Scan-to-Practice describes nine stages from source audit to a finished desktop, web or mobile product. `SKILL.md` holds triggers, decision cards for choosing a recognition model, batch transcription and cost estimates, and common pitfalls. Validation rules guard against shifted answers, truncated text and AI-invented content. The documents cover answer-key-driven controls, local grading, progress persistence and mistake review. A separate handbook follows the symptom, cause, fix, verification pattern. The repository contains no application or question banks.
Who it is for. Developers and product managers of learning products who turn photos and scans of textbooks and tests into practice apps and want to avoid losses and fabrications in AI batch processing.
Good fit when
- A stack of exercise scans must become a practice app with answer checking
- Before mass transcription the cost is estimated and a recognition model chosen
- Answers in finished tasks shift and text is truncated on long pages
- A practice app needs a progress calendar, levels and mistake review
- A solution is verified step by step from source to finished interface
Not a fit when
- You need ready questions or an exercise bank: the repository does not contain them
- The source materials are copyrighted and you lack rights to process them
- You need ready application code: this is a methodology and skill, not a product release
Example request
Using the Scan-to-Practice skill, estimate the cost of transcribing a hundred scanned pages and propose an answer-validation scheme.Limitations
This is knowledge and methodology rather than a finished app, and the repository has no installers or product source. The documentation and skill are in English, with a Chinese section in the README. Mentions of Cambridge and IELTS are context only, the project is not affiliated with rights holders and does not distribute third-party material. Rights to the scans you process remain your responsibility. The last commit is from 12 August 2026.
How to disable. Delete the `scan-to-practice` folder from the agent's skills directory. Remove files created by the methodology, such as transcriptions and practice-app data, separately.
FAQ
Is this a ready-made app?
No. The repository holds a methodology, documents and a skill. Application code and installers are not included.
Which materials may I process?
Only those you have rights to. The repository does not distribute third-party PDFs, scans or question banks, and screenshots show synthetic data.
What if answers shifted?
Open `docs/02-troubleshooting.md`: errors follow a symptom, cause, fix, verification pattern, including answer alignment and text truncation.
Which agents does it work with?
Any that reads `SKILL.md`. You can also simply ask the agent to read the file.
How many stages does the methodology have?
Nine, from source audit to product delivery. Details are in `docs/03-methodology.md` and the project journey by stage in `docs/01-project-journey.md`.
