Syllabus-Sync

Syllabus Sync is an AI-native Campus OS that transforms static university PDF syllabi into structured, agent-readable data and wraps them in a full student operations suite — calendar, map, notifications, and multi-profile management.

Repo

01. Problem

Australian universities publish syllabi as unstructured PDFs. Students manually copy assessment dates into calendars, and AI assistants hallucinate deadlines because no machine-readable source of truth exists.

02. Solution Overview

  • Built an LLM OCR pipeline that extracts structured JSON from PDF syllabi with Zod schema validation
  • Implemented Syllabus-as-Code where assessments and deadlines are version-controlled, diff-able artefacts
  • Created a full student OS with calendar, campus navigation (Leaflet + Google Maps), and push notifications
  • Architected for fork-ability — any Australian university can adopt by swapping data/ and environment variables

  • • LLM OCR pipeline extracting structured JSON from PDF syllabi
  • • Syllabus-as-Code — assessments and deadlines as version-controlled artefacts
  • • Full student OS: calendar, reminders, campus map, notifications
  • • 503 tests across 92 files with CI/CD quality gates

Secure

  • Zero-Trust proxy middleware — every route authenticated by default
  • Supabase Row-Level Security enforced at database layer
  • WebAuthn/FIDO2 passkey authentication (no passwords stored)
  • LLM prompt injection mitigation with schema-constrained output and input sanitisation
  • Secrets scanner in CI blocks credential patterns from commits

03. Proof & Verification

Verified Claims

  • >503 tests across 92 files — all passing in CI
