In plain English

This project is a reusable prompt template designed to run inside GitHub Copilot's agent mode in VS Code. You give it the name of any technical certification exam you want to study for, and in a single conversation it generates a complete, personalized study kit for you, typically made up of 30 to 35 files. All the content is pulled from official vendor documentation such as Microsoft Learn, AWS docs, and Kubernetes.io, rather than third-party courses, paid resources, or exam dumps. The kit it produces includes a diagnostic quiz of 20 to 25 questions to gauge your current level, study guides covering each domain of the exam, hands-on labs offered in both a slower guided mode and a faster speedrun mode, flashcards with the top 50 questions exportable to a spaced-repetition tool, an interactive HTML practice test with a timer, a glossary, Mermaid concept map diagrams, a personalized day-by-day study plan, and a template for tracking mistakes as you go. Output can be generated as browser-ready HTML files with a light and dark theme toggle, or as plain Markdown files suited for Git and note-taking apps like Obsidian or Notion, the HTML option uses noticeably more output tokens from the AI model than Markdown does. The official supported setup is VS Code with GitHub Copilot and Copilot Chat in agent mode, using a capable model such as Claude Sonnet 4.5 or GPT-5, plus official vendor MCP tools and an internet connection during generation. The author has not tested other AI coding tools like Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or Claude Desktop, and warns that results on those platforms are not guaranteed. This tool is aimed at people preparing for cloud or developer certifications who want to save the 20 to 40 hours typically spent curating and organizing study materials themselves. It is free and open source under the MIT license, works in multiple languages, and its own documentation stresses that the generated kit is meant to supplement official training, not replace it.
