SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates converting composite Anki notes into atomic notes, preserving Nid references and the inheritance rules defined for main and sub cards, enabling deterministic, well-structured study materials.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hard Split: split by two or more #### headers to create independent cards.
  • Soft Split: leverage cloze density (more than three clozes) and optional Gemini-based analysis for high-density notes.
  • nid inheritance & Cloze handling: main card retains its nid; subcards receive new nids with backlinks to the original card; all cloze numbers reset to c1 to enforce 1 note = 1 atomic card.
  • Use Case: Convert a long, multi-section note into a set of atomic cards with preserved links to the source.
  • Note: Split results can be previewed before applying to avoid unintended changes.

Quick Start

  • Provide a sample note containing at least two "####" headers to trigger a hard split, or a note with more than three clozes to trigger soft split.
  • Review the generated atomic cards and, if satisfied, apply the split.

Frequently Asked Questions about splitting-cards

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I split composite Anki notes into atomic cards?▼

Splitting composite Anki notes into atomic cards requires triggering a hard split using multiple #### headers or a soft split with high cloze density. The process preserves original nid references and generates backward links to the source note.

What is the difference between hard split and soft split for Anki cloze notes?▼

Hard split divides notes by two or more #### headers to create independent cards, while soft split leverages high cloze density with more than three clozes, optionally using analysis for high-density notes.

How does nid inheritance work when splitting Anki notes?▼

During nid inheritance for split Anki notes, the main card retains its original nid while subcards receive new nids with backlinks to the original card, ensuring deterministic and well-structured study materials.

Do I need to reset cloze numbers when creating atomic Anki cards?▼

Yes, all cloze numbers reset to c1 after splitting to enforce the 1 note = 1 atomic card principle. This ensures each newly generated atomic card functions independently for study purposes.

Can I preview Anki card split results before applying changes?▼

Yes, you can preview split results before applying them to avoid unintended changes. This allows you to review the generated atomic cards and confirm the nid inheritance and backward links are correct.
