• Converts content into atomic, single-concept flashcards
• Extracts and transforms quiz questions
• Generates properly formatted code cards
• Creates cloze deletions for syntax and definitions
• Follows Anki best practices for optimal learning

Card Types

1. Concept cards - Basic Q&A for definitions and explanations
2. Syntax cards - Cloze deletions for C++ syntax
3. Code analysis - Understanding code snippets
4. Error identification - Common mistakes and fixes
5. Quiz cards - Transformed from chapter quizzes

Usage

# Scrape all content
python scripts/scrape_learncpp.py

# Generate Anki deck
python scripts/generate_deck.py

Design Principles

• One concept per card - Each card tests exactly one piece of knowledge
• Atomic information - Complex topics broken into simple facts
• Context prefixes - All cards prefixed with "C++:" for context
• 8-10 second rule - Cards answerable in under 10 seconds
• No enumeration - Lists broken into individual cards
• Active recall - Questions, not statements
