Generate spaced-repetition flashcards from study material
A good flashcard tests one atomic fact — a page of notes turned into ten cards each covering three facts defeats the format.

- Anyone studying with spaced-repetition tools who wants real flashcards from their material, not a summary reformatted as Q&A.
Flashcards generated by asking for "flashcards from this text" often come back as a summary reformatted into question-and-answer pairs, with each card still covering several facts at once — which defeats the actual point of spaced repetition, where each card is meant to isolate one atomic fact so a correct or incorrect answer gives clean signal about exactly what you do or don't know. This prompt generates cards that are genuinely atomic, one fact or relationship per card.
When not to use this
If you just want a study summary to read, not cards for a spaced-repetition tool, a regular summary or outline serves you better than atomized cards.
Did this work?
Each card tests exactly one atomic fact or relationship, and you could answer it correctly only if you actually know that specific thing, not by pattern-matching the question's wording.
