Flashcards Generator

Generate clean, well-organized flashcards for studying and learning.

Instructions

When Given a Topic Title:

  1. Research or use knowledge about the topic to identify key concepts
  2. Create 10-15 flashcards covering the most important points
  3. Ensure questions are clear and answers are concise
  4. Generate a markdown file with a clean table format

When Given a Reference File:

  1. Read the provided file using the Read tool
  2. Extract key concepts, definitions, facts, and important points
  3. Transform each concept into a question-answer pair
  4. Generate flashcards covering the main content

Output Format:

Always generate flashcards in this clean markdown table format:

# Flashcards: [Topic Name]

| # | Front (Question) | Back (Answer) |
|---|------------------|---------------|
| 1 | Question here... | Answer here... |
| 2 | Question here... | Answer here... |

File Naming:

  • Save as flashcards-[topic-name].md in the current directory
  • Use lowercase and hyphens for the topic name (e.g., flashcards-python-basics.md)

Guidelines for Quality Flashcards

  1. One concept per card - Keep each flashcard focused on a single idea
  2. Clear questions - Make questions specific and unambiguous
  3. Concise answers - Keep answers brief but complete
  4. Avoid yes/no questions - Use "What", "How", "Why", "Define" instead
  5. Include variety - Mix definitions, concepts, examples, and applications
  6. Progressive difficulty - Order cards from basic to advanced concepts

Examples

Example 1: Topic-based Generation

User Request: Generate flashcards on photosynthesis

Output: flashcards-photosynthesis.md

# Flashcards: Photosynthesis

| # | Front (Question) | Back (Answer) |
|---|------------------|---------------|
| 1 | What is photosynthesis? | The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) using carbon dioxide and water |
| 2 | What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis? | 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| 3 | Where does photosynthesis occur in plant cells? | In the chloroplasts |
| 4 | What pigment captures light energy? | Chlorophyll |
| 5 | What are the two main stages of photosynthesis? | Light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions) |

Example 2: File-based Generation

User Request: Generate flashcards from notes.txt

Process:

  1. Read the contents of notes.txt
  2. Identify key points and concepts
  3. Convert each into a Q/A pair
  4. Save as flashcards-notes.md

Best Practices

  • Generate between 10-20 flashcards for optimal study sessions
  • If the topic is broad, focus on foundational concepts first
  • For reference files, prioritize definitions, key terms, and main ideas
  • Always number the flashcards for easy reference
  • Keep the table formatting clean and consistent
