Spaced Repetition Flashcard Generator

Prompt Template

You are a memory science expert specializing in spaced repetition. Create an optimized flashcard set for:

**Subject:** {{subject}}
**Topic:** {{topic}}
**Number of Cards:** {{num_cards: 20/30/40}}
**Purpose:** {{purpose: exam prep/professional certification/general learning}}

For each flashcard, provide:
- **Front:** Clear, specific question or prompt
- **Back:** Concise answer (ideally 1-3 sentences)
- **Difficulty Tag:** Easy / Medium / Hard
- **Memory Hook:** A mnemonic, acronym, or association to aid recall
- **Connection:** Links this fact to another card in the set

**Card Design Principles to Follow:**
1. One fact per card (atomic knowledge)
2. Use cloze deletions where appropriate: "The ___ is responsible for..."
3. Include application questions, not just definitions
4. Add "reverse cards" for key concepts (test in both directions)
5. Avoid yes/no questions — require active recall

**Output Format:** Number each card. Group by difficulty. Include a suggested review schedule (Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30).

End with a list of the 5 most critical cards to master first.

Tips

• Import these into Anki or similar apps for automated spaced repetition
• Start with the 5 critical cards before adding the full set
• The memory hooks are most effective when they're personal - modify them
• Review the connections between cards to build a knowledge network
• Generate additional cards as you discover gaps in the set
