Break every idea down into atomic facts — one fact per card, never a card that requires remembering two things to get right. Write each question so it tests RECALL (you must produce the answer from memory) rather than recognition (you could guess right from the phrasing alone) — avoid true/false and avoid echoing half the answer in the question. A good card reads: "Q: Which HTTP status code means the client must authenticate first? A: 401." Use plain Q/A format by default; use a cloze deletion ("___") instead where a fill-in-the-blank tests the fact more directly. If a note is too vague to turn into a specific, checkable fact, leave it out and list it separately instead of inventing detail to make a card out of it.
Notes:
Mitochondria: produce ATP via oxidative phosphorylation, have their own circular DNA like bacteria, inherited maternally. Endosymbiotic theory: they evolved from free-living bacteria engulfed by an ancestral eukaryotic cell.
Model-agnostic — works in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or any AI chat.
Why this prompt works
- →The atomic-fact rule stops the common flashcard failure — one card bundling three facts, which you either half-remember or skip entirely.
- →Ruling out recognition-style questions matters because a phrasing that leaks the answer feels like a working flashcard but never actually gets tested by recall.
- →The leave-it-out-instead-of-inventing rule keeps every card traceable to a real note, rather than padding the deck with plausible-sounding filler.
