What it does
tutor-skills helps an agent build study material from your sources. It takes PDFs, documents or project code and lays them out into a structured Obsidian vault with notes suitable for step-by-step study. The skill installs via the installer or the install.sh script, with a separate script for removal. It is a fast way to turn scattered materials into a clear study structure.
Who it is for. For people who study from documents and code and keep notes in Obsidian.
Good fit when

- You need to break down a codebase for learning
- You need an Obsidian note structure from source materials
Not a fit when
- You do not use Obsidian or markdown notes
- You need to edit the source documents rather than build study notes
