CramForge

CramForge is a clean, reusable study app starter for turning your own books into reader-friendly study material. It ships empty: no bundled books, no private course notes, and no baked-in AI provider.

Import a DRM-free EPUB, read it chapter by chapter, and let your own coding agent work from generated Markdown files to create summaries, flashcards, quizzes, cram notes, and cheat sheets.

What it does

• Imports DRM-free EPUB files into a local chapter reader.
• Keeps the catalog empty until users add their own material.
• Supports reading, search, highlights, progress, and cheat sheet panels.
• Creates AI-readable Markdown study packs for every imported book.
• Avoids provider lock-in: users can generate study content with whatever AI agent or model they already use.

Quick start

cd learning-hub
npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000/upload and import a DRM-free EPUB.

Study pack workflow

Every import creates:

learning-hub/study-materials/<book-slug>/README.md
learning-hub/study-materials/<book-slug>/chapters/chNN.md
learning-hub/study-materials/<book-slug>/study-guide.md
learning-hub/study-materials/<book-slug>/agent-instructions.md

Ask your AI/coding agent to read the study pack README and source chapter Markdown, then fill out study-guide.md with the study format you want.

Example prompt:

Read learning-hub/study-materials/<book-slug>/README.md and generate chapter
summaries, key terms, flashcards, multiple-choice quizzes, and cram notes in the
provided Markdown files.

Useful scripts

npm run dev
npm run build
npm run lint
npm run ingest:epub -- "/path/to/book.epub" book-slug --title "Book Title" --author "Author"
npm run catalog
npm run study-pack -- book-slug

Content policy

Only import books you have the right to use. CramForge intentionally starts with an empty content library so it can be reused for exam prep, certifications, internal training, and personal study without shipping copyrighted source books.
