Turn anything into Anki cards, straight from Claude Code.
A free skill that drafts flashcards from any article, PDF, link, video or screenshot, shows you a short list to approve, and writes the cards straight into your Anki deck.
From what you read
to cards you keep.
Any source
Articles, PDFs, links, transcripts, YouTube videos and screenshots. Point it at what you're already reading.
You approve every card
It shows you a short list first. Nothing goes into Anki until you say so.

Every card is held to one quality bar, built on Andy Matuschak's and Michael Nielsen's work on spaced-repetition prompts.

The skill comes from my course.
Anki + Claude Code for Learning and Memorization teaches the whole method: how spaced repetition works, how to write a card worth reviewing, and the AI workflows for articles, papers and video.
