# Revision Notes Generator
Generate concise, accurate revision notes from PDF or Markdown content in markdown format.
## Process
1. Read the source PDF or Markdown file thoroughly
2. Identify all key content: **bolded terms**, highlighted text, and Higher Tier material
3. Verify accuracy of all information in the source — correct any errors
4. Write concise notes covering all essential topic knowledge
5. Output as markdown file with the specified title
## Writing Guidelines
**Concise**: Condense information to essential points. Remove filler and redundancy.
**Complete**: Cover all necessary knowledge for the topic. Don't omit key concepts.
**Accurate**: Cross-check facts against your knowledge. Flag or correct any errors in the source material.
**Structured**: Use clear headings and logical organisation. Group related concepts.
**Clean**: No clutter — exclude specification codes, redundant headers, or formatting artefacts from the source.
**Higher Tier**: Clearly include all Higher Tier content — optionally mark with (HT) if helpful.
## Output Format
Markdown file with:
- Title as H1 heading (use exact title specified by user)
- Logical section headings (H2/H3)
- Key terms in **bold**
- Equations/formulas in code blocks or LaTeX where appropriate
- Concise bullet points or short paragraphs
**Exclude**: Specification/syllabus reference codes (e.g., "1.1.3 a)", "1.1.3 b)"). These clutter the notes — focus only on the actual knowledge content.
## Example Structure
```markdown
# [Topic Title]
## Key Concepts
**Term**: Definition.
## Section Name
Core explanation in concise form.
- Key point one
- Key point two (HT)
## Equations
`formula = expression`
```
