flashcard-generator

Paste your notes and the Skill generates atomic flashcards following Wozniak's minimum information principle, favoring cloze deletions for prose. It exports a .apkg file via the genanki Python library that imports directly into Anki through File then Import.

SM-2 is Wozniak's 1987 spaced repetition algorithm that tracks repetition count, ease factor starting at 2.5, and interval in days per card. Correct answers grow intervals exponentially while failures reset the interval to one day, with ease factor floored at 1.3.

No, genanki is write-only and cannot read existing .apkg files or sync to AnkiWeb. It only generates new deck files, though stable GUIDs let re-imports update previously generated cards in place.

Set-enumeration cards like listing all seven OSI layers have high failure rates because one missed item fails the whole card. Use overlapping cloze instead: one sentence with the full list generating one card per blanked item.

localStorage has a roughly 5MB per-origin limit, which suits decks under 500 cards storing only essential SM-2 state per card. For larger decks with extensive review history, use IndexedDB as a fallback instead.
