Download the Anki Flashcard Generator JSON preset for Vezz me. Highlight any textbook or article passage and generate atomic Q&A and Cloze deletion cards. > **Best fit:** Best for medical students, law students, language learners, and engineers who want high-retention spaced-repetition cards following the Minimum Information Principle. ## Live Webpage Walkthrough - **Source:** Database Systems Textbook — Deadlock Prevention Schemes (`cs-textbook.example.edu/concurrency/deadlocks`) - **Recommended Context Mode:** Basic **Highlighted Passage:** > Wait-Die and Wound-Wait are timestamp-based deadlock prevention schemes. In Wait-Die (non-preemptive), an older transaction is allowed to wait for a younger transaction, whereas a younger transaction requesting a lock held by an older transaction aborts ('dies') and restarts with its original timestamp. In Wound-Wait (preemptive), an older transaction preempts ('wounds') a younger transaction, causing it to abort. **User Question (Shortcut):** "Turn this passage into atomic Anki Cloze and Q&A flashcards." **Vezz me On-Screen Answer:** **Cloze Cards**: 1. In DBMS deadlock prevention, `{{c1::Wait-Die::scheme name}}` is a `{{c2::non-preemptive::preemptive vs non-preemptive}}` scheme where a younger transaction requesting a lock held by an older one aborts. 2. In DBMS deadlock prevention, `{{c1::Wound-Wait::scheme name}}` is a `{{c2::preemptive::preemptive vs non-preemptive}}` scheme where an older transaction forces a younger lock-holder to abort. 3. Aborted transactions in Wait-Die and Wound-Wait restart with their `{{c1::original timestamp::timestamp rule}}` to prevent `{{c2::starvation}}`. **Basic Q&A (`Front ; Back`)**: - In Wait-Die, what happens when an OLDER transaction requests a lock held by a YOUNGER one? ; The older transaction waits. - In Wound-Wait, what happens when a YOUNGER transaction requests a lock held by an OLDER one? ; The younger transaction waits. **Suggested Follow-Ups:** - "Export only the Basic Q&A cards as raw semicolon-separated lines for Anki import." - "Create one more Cloze card comparing how many aborts happen in Wait-Die vs Wound-Wait." ## Custom Prompt Preset for Vezz me - **Preset Name:** Anki Flashcard Generator - **Recommended Context Level:** Basic - **JSON Preset Download:** https://vezz.me/prompts/presets/anki-flashcard-generator.json ```text Convert the selected passage into high-retention Anki flashcards strictly following the Minimum Information Principle (one atomic fact per card, zero fluff, self-contained context). Output: 1) 3 Cloze Deletion Cards using standard Anki syntax `{{c1::target term::short category hint}}` so the card is unambiguous six months later without the source article, and 2) 3 Basic Q&A Cards formatted as `Question ; Concise Answer` (max 15 words on the back) testing causal mechanisms rather than trivial trivia. Never output bloated multi-bullet list cards. ``` **Why it works:** Enforces SuperMemo's Minimum Information Principle and embeds `::category hint` cues inside every Cloze deletion so cards never become ambiguous orphans during future reviews. ## Step-by-step workflow 1. **Download and import the JSON preset above**: Click 'Download .json for Vezz me' in the preset box above and import it via Vezz me -> Saved Prompts -> Import. 2. **Highlight a paragraph you want to remember long-term**: Select the concept on Wikipedia, PubMed, MDN, or your course notes and press Ctrl+Shift+X. 3. **Copy the Cloze or semicolon-delimited cards into Anki**: Paste the Cloze lines directly into Anki's Cloze note type, or bulk-import the `Front ; Back` lines as a semicolon-separated text file. ## Why category hints inside `{{c1::answer::hint}}` matter A card like `{{c1::Furosemide}} inhibits NKCC2` fails six months later because you don't know if the blank asks for a specific drug, a class, or a hormone. - Automatically includes `::short category hint` inside every Cloze deletion so prompts are 100% self-contained - Splits complex paragraphs into independent, 5-second-gradable atomic facts - Produces semicolon-delimited `Question ; Concise Answer` lines ready for batch Anki/RemNote/Mochi import ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I paste the Basic Q&A cards directly into a .txt file for Anki bulk import? Yes! Because the Basic cards are formatted as `Question ; Concise Answer`, you can paste them into a plain-text file and import into Anki with semicolon (`;`) as the field separator. ### Does this preset work with RemNote and Mochi too? Yes. Both RemNote and Mochi support Cloze and delimiter-based Q&A imports. ### Is this preset included in the Master Prompt Pack? Yes, the Master Prompt Pack `.json` automatically bundles all 22 presets from the Vezz me Prompt Library. ## Related guides - [Turn Webpages into Anki Flashcards Workflow](https://vezz.me/use-cases/turn-webpages-into-anki-flashcards/): Step-by-step guide to selective spaced-repetition card creation. - [Feynman Technique Coach Preset](https://vezz.me/prompts/feynman-technique-coach/): Verify your conceptual understanding before making flashcards. - [Medical Vignette Differential Tutor](https://vezz.me/prompts/medical-vignette-differential-tutor/): Preset for USMLE, COMLEX, and clinical vignette analysis. - [Vezz me for Medical & Nursing Students](https://vezz.me/for/medical-and-nursing-students/): Browser study workflows for healthcare students.
