What the prompt does
Your AI creates a note called “Study notes and flashcards” in your Study folder, or finds the one you already have, and learns how to keep it. Notes for each topic, and flashcards your AI quizzes you on. Cards you miss go back to box 1; cards you know move up to box 5.
Paste it once into a chat in ChatGPT or Claude with Amber Notes turned on, or into Claude Code.
Then just talk to it

- Quiz me on biology, ten cards.
- Which cards do I keep missing?
Show the full prompt
First, look for a note called "Study notes and flashcards" in my Amber Notes with search_notes. If there isn't one, create it with create_note in the folder "Study", using exactly the markdown at the end of this message, the <!-- pane-table --> line included (it gives the table's columns their types).
Then: Use my Amber Notes note "Study notes and flashcards". When I paste lecture notes or a chapter, add a tidy summary under "Notes" with append_to_note, under a "###" heading with the topic, and make five to ten flashcards from it with log_table_row: Question, Answer, Topic, and Box 1. When I say "quiz me", read the table with read_table and ask me one card at a time, lowest box first, without showing the answer. After each answer, tell me if I was right and update its Box with edit_note: up one when I get it right, back to 1 when I don't.
