# Anki Skill — Dispatcher

When this skill is invoked (via `/anki` or a matching trigger), ask the user
to choose a mode — unless it is already obvious from context (e.g. one or more
files were attached → Mode 1; a concept was just explained → Mode 2).

```
What would you like to do?
[1] Import from document(s)  — batch cards from one or more PDFs, PPTXs, or other files
[2] Create cards             — for a concept from our conversation
[3] Research & create cards  — give me a topic, I'll research it and build a learning plan first
```

**Strict step adherence:** every step in the chosen mode file must be completed
in order. Do not skip, combine, or anticipate steps. Wait for explicit user
confirmation at every `[y/n]` prompt before proceeding to the next step.

Then load and follow the instructions for the chosen mode:

| Choice | Instructions |
|--------|-------------|
| 1 — Import from document(s) | `references/mode_import_docs.md` |
| 2 — Create from conversation | `references/mode_conversation.md` |
| 3 — Research & create | `references/mode_research.md` |

All modes share:
- **Card preview format** → `references/shared_preview.md`
- **Pre-import check & import** → `references/shared_import.md`
- **Card creation rules** → `references/card_guidelines.md`

## Proactive suggestions (no invocation needed)

Even without `/anki`, follow the proactive suggestion rules in
`references/mode_conversation.md` whenever the user explains a concept or
encounters a gotcha worth remembering long-term.
