What problem does it solve?

Creating flashcards manually from Obsidian notes is tedious and error-prone. This skill automates the generation of properly formatted flashcards for Anki, ensuring consistent metadata, deck paths, and content structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

• YAML frontmatter templates with required fields (name, description) and consistent tags, deck, created/updated timestamps.
• Supports flashcard types described in the Obsidian flashcards guide, including Code Flashcards and Exact Definitions.
• Built-in deck migration utility (change-deck.py) to reorganize cards across categories and decks.
• Strict formatting rules: no empty lines in flashcard bodies, use em dash separators, and atomic content.
• Real-world use: generate study cards for a course, restructure decks for focus areas, and batch-convert notes into flashcards.
