Deck editor

The Deck editor lets you create and refine a set of flashcards for active recall practice. Each card has a front face (the prompt or question) and a back face (the answer or explanation). The AI provides a draft set; you can add, remove, or edit cards in the widget before saving.

How to invoke it

Ask the AI to create a flashcard deck in natural language:

  • “Create flashcards on the periodic table”
  • “Add a deck of vocabulary cards for French verbs”
  • “Make flashcards to review the key dates of the French Revolution”

The AI calls edit_deck with a pre-filled draft and opens the widget.

Tips

  • Front: short prompt. Back: concise answer. Effective flashcards test one fact at a time — avoid cramming multiple concepts onto a single card.
  • Specify the count. If you want more or fewer cards than the default, say so: “create 10 flashcards” or “make 6 cards”.
  • Add or remove cards in the widget. The deck editor lets you add new cards and delete unwanted ones without leaving the widget.
