Essay Outline
Helps you build the outline of an essay or argumentative dissertation (outside law) — analyzing the topic's terms, reframing it, forming the question, then two or three possible outlines with their risks for this specific topic. You choose an outline and fill it with your own ideas.
Real example
Taken from the skill's “Example” section (in French: the skill answers in your language).
Analyse des termes
- Bonheur : état de satisfaction durable, à distinguer du plaisir immédiat.
- Raison : faculté de juger et de maîtriser ses désirs, par opposition à l'instinct ou la passion.
- "Est-il affaire de" : interroge si la raison est nécessaire, suffisante, ou même un obstacle au bonheur.
Problématique proposée
La raison est-elle la condition du bonheur, ou peut-elle au contraire l'empêcher ?
Plans possibles
Plan 1 — Dialectique
I. La raison semble nécessaire au bonheur (maîtrise des désirs, choix éclairés)
II. Mais la raison peut aussi empêcher le bonheur (calcul froid, perte de spontanéité)
III. Vers un équilibre entre raison et sensibilité
Risques : partie III souvent bâclée si tu manques de temps — prépare-la en priorité.

Bibliography Formatting
Formats the bibliographic references you provide in APA 7, ISO 690 (an international referencing standard), or Vancouver style (article, book, chapter, website, thesis), with the matching in-text citation. It never invents a missing detail (DOI, pages, year) — it flags it as 'to complete' instead.
Cite Without Plagiarizing
Teaches you to cite a source (quotation marks plus reference), paraphrase honestly, and summarize without plagiarizing, with an example of a too-close vs. a correct paraphrase, and explains plagiarism and self-plagiarism. It refuses to reword a text to dodge a plagiarism detector, and explains why.
Revision Sheet
Turns a course (pasted text, PDF, notes, slides) into a structured one- to two-page revision sheet, with definitions, key ideas, examples, and self-test questions.
