StudyDash

A Claude Code plugin for structured learning on any subject. Import curricula from PDFs or build your own, track Q&A sessions, get AI-generated visualizations, and validate your understanding with exercises — all from a live dashboard.

Install

# Add the bis-code marketplace (one-time)
/plugin marketplace add bis-code/claude-plugins

# Install the plugin
/plugin install study-dash@bis-code

How It Works

import curriculum → study topics → log Q&A → generate viz → create exercises
       |                |              |            |              |
  PDF / manual     set active      auto-logged   AI step-through  coding + quiz
  roadmap.sh       topic           to dashboard   diagrams         with real tests

Start learning with /learn — pick a subject or create one. Ask questions and Claude auto-logs everything to the dashboard.

Import a curriculum with /import — drop a PDF syllabus from school (itslearning, etc.) and the plugin extracts phases, topics, and assignments automatically.

Dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:19282 — live updates via SSE as you learn.

Dashboard

The dashboard shows your learning progress across all subjects:

• Home — subject switcher, stats grid, recently active topics
• Topics — phase tree with collapsible groups, completion status
• Topic Detail — four tabs:
  • Q&A — paired question/answer cards with syntax highlighting
  • Visualize — AI-generated step-through diagrams (prev/next controls)
  • Exercises — coding exercises with test validation, quizzes, projects, school assignments
  • Resources — reference links, context7 docs, imported PDFs
• Search — full-text search across all your notes

Mobile-responsive: bottom nav on phones, sidebar on desktop.

Architecture

Single Node.js process with layered internals:

Transport:  MCP Tools (stdio) + HTTP API (dashboard)
Services:   CurriculumService | QAService | VizService | ExerciseService
Storage:    SQLite (better-sqlite3) + File System (exercises)

Data stored at ~/.claude/learn/data.db — persists across sessions.

Development

cd server
npm install
npm test          # run tests (vitest)
npm run bundle    # build dist/bundle.mjs
