What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of forgetting what you just learned by turning code or concepts into reusable retrieval practice cards with cited answers.

Core Features & Use Cases

Atomic flashcard generation: Creates one-fact-per-card markdown cards with a folded answer for later review.
Code or topic mode: Handles either facts about a specific file or broader facts about a concept at the project’s actual stack version.
Citation-backed recall: Every answer is verified against code or docs and ends with a source citation so the card stays trustworthy over time.
Best used after learning sessions: Ideal for capturing takeaways from explain-and-check, quiz-me, or any moment when you want durable study material.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to create flashcards from a file or topic and be ready to provide the first question you want to remember.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate flashcards from code or concepts for active recall practice?▼

Active recall flashcards are generated by creating atomic, one-fact-per-card markdown entries with folded answers. Each card is verified against source code or documentation and ends with a citation to ensure the study material remains trustworthy.

What's the best way to create markdown study cards with cited answers after a learning session?▼

Creating markdown study cards with cited answers involves extracting key takeaways from your learning session and converting them into reusable retrieval practice cards. The output requires atomic question-and-answer pairs backed by source verification.

Can I use retrieval practice cards for both specific code files and broader topic reviews?▼

Retrieval practice cards support both code mode and topic mode. Code mode generates facts about a specific file, while topic mode produces broader facts about a concept at the project's actual stack version for comprehensive topic review.

Does active recall flashcard generation require any specific dependencies or external libraries?▼

Active recall flashcard generation requires no external dependencies or libraries. The process relies entirely on built-in reference components to produce citation-backed markdown output for your study material.

Why do my flashcards need source verification and citation-backed markdown output?▼

Flashcards need source verification and citation-backed markdown output so the answers stay trustworthy over time. Every card is checked against code or docs, ensuring your reusable study material remains accurate as the project evolves.

When should I not use atomic flashcards for learning and topic review?▼

Atomic flashcards are not suited for unstructured learning phases or capturing complex multi-step reasoning. They are designed for reinforcing memory through one-fact-per-card active recall after you have already grasped the underlying concepts.
