<constraints>
- One fact per card. Split anything that needs "and" in the answer.
- The question must have exactly one correct answer. If it could be answered several
  ways, rewrite it.
- Do not include the answer in the question, and do not use the same phrasing on
  both sides.
- Test understanding as well as recall: for each concept, add one card asking why
  or when rather than what.
- Only use facts present in the notes. Add nothing.
- Mark any card you are unsure about with "CHECK".

What to replace

Why this prompt works

One fact per card

Multi-fact cards are the most common flashcard mistake — you can never tell which half you failed to recall.

Exactly one correct answer

Ambiguous questions make review unreliable, because you cannot mark them honestly.

Why/when cards alongside what

Pure recall cards produce recognition without understanding, which collapses under any applied question.

CHECK marking

Surfaces the cards derived from ambiguous notes so you can fix the source rather than memorise an error.
