How do I create Anki flashcards from a conversation without opening the app?

You can create Anki flashcards directly from a conversation by using the AnkiConnect bridge to generate front/back notes with tags and add them to a specified deck via localhost:8765. This eliminates the need to manually interact with the Anki UI.

What do I need to use AnkiConnect to manage flashcards locally?

To use AnkiConnect for managing flashcards locally, you need the Anki desktop application running with the AnkiConnect plugin installed and accessible at localhost port 8765. The Skill communicates using JSON-RPC over HTTP to call AnkiConnect actions.

Can I search my Anki notes and view deck statistics during a study session?

Yes, you can search Anki notes and view deck statistics during a session by running AnkiConnect queries to find notes and display front text and tags, as well as retrieving deck review counts to monitor your study progress.

How do I organize new study material in Anki using AnkiConnect?

You can organize new study material by using AnkiConnect to create new decks on demand. This allows you to dynamically categorize and manage flashcards generated from your current learning context into distinct decks for later review.

What is the best way to automate Anki card creation from text?

Why is my AnkiConnect integration not working when adding cards?

Your AnkiConnect integration may not work if the Anki desktop application is not actively running or if the AnkiConnect plugin is not properly configured to listen on localhost port 8765. Ensure Anki is open and the plugin is accessible before sending JSON-RPC requests.
