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

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

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-flashcards Turns 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.

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.
