Flashcards and Review: Anki + AI at Full Power

I'm about to study [subject] using flashcards in Anki, and I want
to work out whether my plan is actually realistic.

Inputs:
- The exam or test is on [date], today is [date].
- The material I need to know: [e.g. 12 chapters, 40 pages
  of notes total / list of topics].
- I estimate that's about [200] cards, but feel free to
  challenge the number.
- I realistically have [20] minutes a day for review, [40]
  on weekends.
- I'm also studying [other subjects] at the same time.

Work out for me:
1. How many new cards a day I need to add so I've introduced
   all of them at least [10] days before the deadline.
2. How many minutes a day this will cost me in week one, week
   two, and week four, assuming roughly 8 reviews per new card.
3. Whether this fits my daily limit. If not, tell me specifically
   what to do: cut cards, start earlier, or postpone part of
   the material.
4. Where the plan has slack for days I don't get to it.

Don't sugarcoat it. If the plan doesn't work out, I want to know
now, not in three weeks.

WRONG
Front: Mitochondria
Back: Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles in eukaryotic
cells involved in cellular respiration. The inner membrane is
folded into cristae, and inside is the matrix with its own DNA
and ribosomes. The Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain
take place here, producing ATP. According to the endosymbiotic
theory, they arose from an engulfed bacterium.

RIGHT (broken into atomic cards)
How many membranes does a mitochondrion have? → two
What are the folds of the inner mitochondrial membrane called?
→ cristae
What molecule is the main product of the mitochondrion? → ATP
Which cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix? → the Krebs
cycle
According to which theory did mitochondria arise? →
the endosymbiotic theory
What's unusual about mitochondrial DNA compared to nuclear DNA?
→ it's circular, it's the organelle's own, and it's inherited
from the mother

RIGHT
In what year was Charles IV crowned Holy Roman Emperor? → 1355
Which university did Charles IV found, and in what year? →
Charles University in Prague, 1348
What event started the French Revolution, and exactly when?
→ the storming of the Bastille, July 14, 1789
What two inputs does the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis
need? → water and light energy
What's the output of the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis?
→ ATP, NADPH, and oxygen

WRONG
Front: List all the kings of the Přemyslid dynasty
Back: Vratislav II, Vladislav II, Přemysl Otakar I,
Wenceslaus I, Přemysl Otakar II, Wenceslaus II, Wenceslaus III

You're an expert in writing flashcards for spaced repetition in
Anki. Below is my existing deck for [subject], in the format
question; answer, one per line.

[paste your cards]

Go through them and write a verdict for EACH ONE against these
rules:
- one card = one piece of information (no paragraphs or lists),
- the question has exactly one correct answer,
- the answer can be said from memory in under 5 seconds,
- the question is phrased actively (list, identify, calculate),
  not "what is",
- the direction of the question matches how I'll need the
  material on the test,
- no two cards are similar enough to be confused with each other.

Output as a table: number | verdict (OK / REWRITE / SPLIT /
DELETE) | what's specifically wrong | proposed new version.
For cards marked for splitting, write out all the resulting cards.
Don't add anything beyond what's already in my cards.

From the text below, produce flashcards for Anki for [a high
school student, subject: history, junior year].

TEXT:
[paste your class notes or a chapter]

Rules you must follow:
1. One card = one piece of information. Never a paragraph on
   the back.
2. The answer must be sayable from memory in under 5 seconds,
   ideally 1-5 words.
3. The question must have exactly one unambiguous answer.
4. Use active phrasing: list, identify, calculate, translate.
5. Don't add anything that isn't in the text. If the text only
   mentions a term without explaining it, don't make a card
   for it.
6. Avoid pairs of cards that are easy to mix up with each other.
7. Skip anything that's obviously common knowledge.

Output format: a plain list of lines, question;answer
No numbering, no headings, no intro or summary.
At the end, after a separator line, write:
- what you left out of the text and why,
- which passages don't lend themselves to flashcards and are
  better learned through a connected explanation.

I'm attaching [4] photos of my handwritten notes from [subject],
topic [topic]. The handwriting is illegible in places.

Work in two steps:
1. First, transcribe the content of the pages into text exactly
   as you read it. Where you're not sure about a word or a
   number, write [?] and your best guess in parentheses. Don't
   fill anything in from your own knowledge, even if it would
   make sense.
2. Wait for me to confirm the transcript is correct.

Only then turn the transcript into flashcards following the
rules: one piece of information per card, answer under 5
seconds, active phrasing, format question;answer per line,
nothing extra.

Here's the official list of topics for the [test / end-of-term
exam] in [subject]:

[paste the topics]

And here's the list of questions from my flashcard deck (fronts
only):

[paste the questions]

Do a coverage analysis:
1. For each topic, note how many of my cards relate to it.
2. Flag topics I have no coverage for, or only one or two cards.
3. Flag topics where I have unnecessarily many cards because
   they overlap.
4. For uncovered topics, note what types of questions are
   missing — but don't invent the cards yourself, you don't
   have my source material for that.

Output as a table: topic | card count | status | what to add.

Turn the text below into cloze flashcards for Anki.

TEXT:
[paste definitions, formulas, or a passage]

Rules:
- Even after deletion, the sentence must retain enough context
  that exactly one correct answer exists.
- Maximum 3 deletions per sentence, each a different number.
- Delete load-bearing words (terms, numbers, names), not
  conjunctions and prepositions.
- For lists, make one sentence with deletions across successive
  items, not one card for the entire list.
- Don't rephrase my material more than necessary.

Format: each cloze on its own line, Anki syntax with curly
braces and c1, c2, c3. Nothing else.

I'm attaching an image [a plant cell diagram / a blank map of
Europe / a reaction progress graph] from a [subject] textbook.

1. List every label and element you see in the image, from
   most important to minor. Where a label is illegible, write
   [illegible] instead of guessing.
2. Suggest which of them are worth occluding as flashcards and
   which are unnecessary detail.
3. For each element you'd occlude, write a follow-up question
   about its function or meaning, not just its name — for
   example "what happens in this part."
4. Suggest 3 questions that test relationships between elements
   in the image, since occlusion alone won't produce those.

Don't make anything up. Whatever isn't in the image doesn't
belong on the list.

I need to memorize this list [in exact order / regardless of
order]:

[paste the list]

Context: I'm a high school student, subject [subject].
Give me three different mnemonics:

1. ACRONYM: a sentence in English where the first letters of
   the words match the items in order. The sentence must be
   meaningful and easy to remember, not a random jumble of words.
2. STORY: a short absurd scene (max 6 sentences) in which the
   items appear in order. For each one, note what image
   represents it.
3. MEMORY PALACE: place the items at [8] locations along the
   route [from my room to the kitchen], and for each one write
   a vivid, exaggeratedly specific scene.

For each variant, note who it suits and where its weak point is.
No foreign languages, no profanity.

Take the cards below and prepare them as a file ready to import
into Anki.

[paste your cards, or have them generated by the previous prompt]

Format requirements:
- first line: header with a semicolon separator
- second line: target deck [History::Modern Era]
- then one line per card, in the form question;answer
- if a semicolon shows up in the card text, replace it with a
  comma or a dash so the import doesn't break
- no quotes around fields, no numbering, no blank lines
- keep all accents and special characters, don't strip them
- don't comment on anything at the end, I want the raw file
  content

Finally, in a separate message, tell me how to save the file as
UTF-8 and how to import it into Anki.

I have a test in [4] days on [subject], topics are [paste
the topics].
I have a deck of [180] cards, and according to Anki:
- [40] cards I know solidly (long intervals)
- [90] cards are still in progress
- [50] cards I haven't introduced yet

I have [60] minutes a day to study, [90] the day before the test.

Suggest a plan for these 4 days:
- how many cards, and which ones, to go through each day,
- when to introduce new cards and when to switch to review only,
- what to do the evening before the test and the morning of,
- what's better to give up on if it turns out I can't keep up —
  specifically, which topics have the best ratio of points to
  time.

Keep in mind that flashcards won't cover question types that
require explaining or calculating something. Tell me how much
time to leave for that and how to practice it.

Here are my flashcards that keep failing repeatedly in Anki —
Anki flagged them as leeches after [8] failed attempts:

[paste the cards with their answers]

For each one, figure out why it won't stick. Pick from these
causes:
a) the card is too complex, it should be split into several cards
b) the question is ambiguous, it can be answered more than one way
c) I keep confusing it with another similar card (name which one)
d) I'm missing context, I need to understand the connection first
e) it's just a dry fact with nothing to hang it on, it needs
   a mnemonic
f) the card is unnecessary, I can delete it

For causes a-c, write out the corrected version of the card
directly.
For cause d, tell me what I need to have explained before
memorizing it.
For cause e, suggest a specific mnemonic.

Format: original card | cause | what to do about it.
