Generated flashcards from a gradient-descent paragraph twice: the naive baseline produced 3 compound 'X and Y' cards mixing definition/explanation/failure-modes in single answers (exactly what the skill's own atomicity rules flag as red flags), while the skill-guided run produced 6 atomic, correctly-layered cards as a real, spec-valid 5-column Anki TSV file ready to import.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Generating STEM Flashcards does
Generates flashcards from technical/STEM source material using a three-cognitive-layer framework (L1 Recall, L2 Understanding, L3 Boundaries) with explicit atomicity rules and a refusal policy for content that shouldn't be carded (proofs, worked examples, multi-step processes). Triggers on requests for flashcards, study cards, revision cards, Anki cards, quiz materials, or spaced-repetition content from notes/textbooks/PDFs, and outputs to one of three modes: an interactive KaTeX React artifact, an Anki-ready MathJax TSV file, or a direct push into a running Anki instance via a local MCP server addon.
How to install Generating STEM Flashcards
git clone https://github.com/jalliet/flashcards
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r flashcards/* ~/.claude/skills/generating-stem-flashcards/
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Generating STEM Flashcards
-
/generating-stem-flashcardsTurns lecture notes into atomic L1/L2/L3 flashcards, exported to an artifact, Anki TSV, or pushed straight into Anki.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Can you make flashcards from these calculus lecture notes? -
Turn this linear algebra chapter into Anki cards for review. -
Make revision cards for chapters 3 through 5 of this physics PDF.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Generating STEM Flashcards skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from jalliet/flashcards. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Generating STEM Flashcards work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 15, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Generated flashcards from a gradient-descent paragraph twice: the naive baseline produced 3 compound 'X and Y' cards mixing definition/explanation/failure-modes in single answers (exactly what the skill's own atomicity rules flag as red flags), while the skill-guided run produced 6 atomic, correctly-layered cards as a real, spec-valid 5-column Anki TSV file ready to import.
- What is the Generating STEM Flashcards SkillProof Score?
- 9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Generating STEM Flashcards?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Generating STEM Flashcards with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
