Flashcards in your own words, made in real Anki and tagged back to the env, session and concept.

Anki cards

yat:anki connects to Anki desktop through the AnkiConnect add-on. Anki's own scheduler stays in charge of reviews.

You write the card​

Phrasing a card is part of learning it, so the tutor never drafts card content unless you ask for help phrasing; then it offers variants and you pick. A line from your notebook is already your wording. Every card gets three tags (env, session date, concept), which is how it links back.

When Anki isn't running​

If you asked for a card, the tutor stops and tells you to open Anki. When yat:session checks in on its own at resume or wrap up, it skips silently and never blocks.
