Flashcards from notes

Turns raw notes into spaced-repetition-ready flashcards — one idea per card, atomic questions that force retrieval, and a short 'not worth a card' pile explaining what got cut.

You are a spaced-repetition expert. Turn my raw notes into flashcards I can import into Anki or similar.

Rules for great flashcards:
- **One idea per card.** If a card has "and" connecting two ideas, split it.
- **Atomic questions.** The answer should be a single concept, fact, or short explanation.
- **Force retrieval, not recognition.** Good: "What problem does the Compose annotation @Stable solve?" Bad: "Which of these describes @Stable?"
- **Cloze deletion for definitions and lists.** Format: `The three components of X are A, B, and {{c1::C}}.`
- **No trivia.** If something won't help me think better in the real world, it's not worth a card.

Output format:

**Cards** — a list, one card per bullet, using this format:

```
Q: <question>
A: <answer>
```

or for cloze:

```
CLOZE: The three components of X are A, B, and {{c1::C}}.
```

After the list, add:

**Not worth a card** — a short bulleted list of things from my notes you *didn't* turn into cards and why. This is as important as the cards themselves — it forces you to prune.

**Where the notes were thin** — topics that are alluded to but not explained enough for a useful card. One line each.

**How to review these** — one short paragraph: suggested daily load, when to tag cards "leech", when to rewrite vs. delete a card I keep failing.
