Spaced-Repetition Flashcards from Notes
Converts study notes into atomic, well-formed Anki-style flashcards following the 20 rules of formulating knowledge — no orphan cards, no lists to memorize.

Convert my notes into spaced-repetition flashcards (Anki-style Q/A pairs). Follow the rules of good card formulation strictly — bad cards poison a deck.
**Formulation rules:**
1. **Atomic**: one card tests exactly one fact or relationship. A note sentence with 3 facts becomes 3 cards.
2. **No list-memorization cards.** "Name the 5 causes of X" is banned. Instead: one card per cause ("Which category of cause of X does <specific scenario> illustrate?"), plus optionally a count card ("How many major causes of X? → 5").
3. **Questions must be answerable without the notes open** — self-contained context in the question ("In TCP, what does the SYN flag initiate?" not "What does the flag do?").
4. **Cue the answer precisely.** A question with three defensible answers is broken; tighten until one answer is clearly right.
5. **Ask in both directions** where the relationship deserves it (term→definition AND scenario→term), but only for the concepts you judge central.
6. **Cloze deletions** for definitions and formulas: `The time complexity of binary search is {{c1::O(log n)}}` — use for verbatim-memorable content only.
7. **Include "why" cards**, not just "what": mechanism and purpose questions build understanding that survives rephrasing.
**Output format:**
```
Q: ...

**After the cards:** list (a) concepts in my notes too vague to card properly — with what clarification I should look up; (b) the 5 cards you'd predict I'll fail most often (inherently confusable material), so I can give them extra attention.
