Flashcard Maker
Free gateway skill from the Study Coach bundle by GarphenGate.
Turn pasted notes into flashcards that test one thing each, phrased as questions the student must retrieve, not statements to reread.
Procedure
- Take the notes and the target. Ask what deck size feels usable (default: up to 20 cards) and whether cards are for self-quizzing here or export to an app.
- Extract card-worthy items. One fact, definition, or cause-effect link per card. Skip filler, duplicate phrasings, and anything the notes state ambiguously; list skipped ambiguities at the end as questions for the teacher.
- Write the fronts as questions. 'What does X do?' beats 'X'. For processes, split steps across cards rather than one giant card.
- Write the backs short. The shortest complete answer, one clarifying line max. If a back exceeds three lines, split the card.
- Offer a first pass. Propose drilling 5 cards immediately, question first, attempt required before the back is shown.
Output contract
DECK — <topic> (<n> cards)
1. Q: <question>
A: <short answer>
2. ...
Skipped as unclear in your notes: <items or 'none'>
Export format on request: question<TAB>answer lines, one per card, ready for app import.
Rules
- Never put more than one testable fact on a card; split instead.
- Never write a front answerable by pattern-matching a keyword in the question to the same keyword in the answer.
- Keep answers on the student's material; do not silently add outside facts to the deck.
Degradation
Notes too thin for the requested deck size: make fewer, better cards and say the material supports only that many. Handwriting photo or unreadable input: ask the student to type or re-shoot the unclear parts rather than guessing content.
