> **The app that argues with you.**

LearnLock is a CLI learning tool that uses adversarial Socratic dialogue to expose gaps in your understanding. It doesn't quiz you — it _interrogates_ you.

## Installation

### From PyPI

Install using pip. Requires Python 3.11 or higher.

### From Source

Clone the repository and install in editable mode.

### Optional Dependencies

- `learnlock[ocr]` — EasyOCR for handwritten answer support
- `learnlock[whisper]` — Whisper fallback for YouTube videos without transcripts

---

## Quick Start

1. Set your API keys as environment variables:
   - `GROQ_API_KEY` (required) — Get free at console.groq.com
   - `GEMINI_API_KEY` (recommended) — Get free at aistudio.google.com

2. Launch the CLI by running `learnlock`

3. Add content by pasting a YouTube URL, article link, PDF path, or GitHub repo

4. Start studying with `/study`

5. Double Enter to send your answer

---

## How It Works

1. You explain a concept in your own words
2. The engine infers what you believe
3. It compares your belief against ground truth claims
4. It finds contradictions and attacks the weakest point
5. After 3 turns (or success), it reveals your belief trajectory
6. Your score feeds into SM-2 spaced repetition scheduling

## The Duel Engine

The cognitive core of LearnLock. Located in `duel.py`.

### Philosophy

Traditional learning apps ask: "Do you know X?"

LearnLock asks: "What do you _believe_ about X, and where is it wrong?"

### Pipeline

1. **Belief Modeling** — Infers what the user thinks from their response
2. **Contradiction Detection** — Compares belief against claims, finds violations
3. **Interrogation** — Generates attack question targeting highest-severity error
4. **Snapshot** — Records belief state for trajectory tracking

### Behaviors

- Vague answers trigger mechanism probes
- Wrong answers trigger claim-specific attacks
- "I don't know" triggers guiding questions (not punishment)
- Correct answers pass after verification
- 3 turns exhausted triggers reveal with full trajectory

### Graded Harshness

- Turn 1: Forgiving — only clear violations flagged
- Turn 2: Moderate — violations plus omissions
- Turn 3: Strict — all violations surfaced

### Error Types

- `wrong_mechanism` — Incorrect explanation of how something works
- `missing_mechanism` — Omitted critical mechanism
- `boundary_error` — Wrong about limitations or scope
- `conflation` — Confused two distinct concepts
- `superficial` — Surface-level understanding without depth

---

## Claim Pipeline

Claims are the epistemic foundation. The duel is only as fair as the claims.

### Three-Pass Verification

**Pass 1: Generation** — LLM generates claims with explicit instructions to produce conceptual truths, not transcript parroting. Demands falsifiable statements about WHY and HOW, not just WHAT.

**Pass 2: Garbage Filter** — Pattern matching rejects stateful claims ("is running", "must remain active"), tautologies ("processes requests", "serves requests"), and vague claims ("is useful", "is important").

**Pass 3: Sharpness Filter** — Rejects blurry truths that are technically correct but unfalsifiable ("handles security", "manages data", "deals with").

### Claim Types

- `definition` — What the concept is
- `mechanism` — How it works internally
- `requirement` — What it needs to function
- `boundary` — What it cannot do or where it fails

### Good vs Bad Claims

Bad claims get rejected:

- "The server processes requests" (tautology)
- "It handles security" (blurry)
- "Must be running to work" (stateful)

Good claims survive:

- "Validates request payloads against a JSON schema"
- "Enforces authentication via JWT token verification"
- "Uses Python type hints for automatic request validation"

---

## Known Limitations

### 1. Claim Quality (Epistemic Risk)

Claims are LLM-generated. Despite three-pass filtering, semantic drift can occur. A source saying "enforces authentication" might become "handles security" — technically related but unfalsifiable.

Mitigation: Pattern filters and sharpness checks reduce but don't eliminate this risk.

### 2. Hallucinated Errors (Moral Risk)

The contradiction detector can invent violations. A correct answer might be flagged as "missing_mechanism" due to LLM drift, causing unfair attacks.

Mitigation: Graded harshness (forgiving on turn 1), claim-index validation (errors must reference real claims). Still possible.

### 3. UI Density

The HUD displays claims, belief, attack target, and interrogation panel simultaneously. Powerful for power users, overwhelming for beginners.

Mitigation: `--gentle` flag provides minimal UI with supportive framing.

### 4. No Confidence Signals

Errors are binary. The engine cannot express "I might be wrong here."

Future: Multi-pass agreement, confidence scores, human-in-the-loop for high-stakes content.
