Your prompt
Make about 60 flashcards, A mix. [your or a topic] One fact per card. A card that asks two things gets half-remembered forever, because the grading is binary and half-right counts as wrong. Ask in the direction you want to recall. If you need to produce the term from the definition, that is the card; the reverse is a different card and usually not the one you need. Skip anything you would recognise but never need to produce. A deck padded with trivia is a deck that gets abandoned in week three. Deliver a .apkg, plus a CSV in case they import it somewhere else.

Why this works
Most auto-generated decks fail because they pad with trivia and ask two things per card. Grading is binary, so a half-right card is a wrong card forever. This writes one fact per card, in the direction you actually need to recall, and skips anything you would only ever recognise.
