+Flashcard rules for another LLM (_____ = cloze)
+
+Core
+	•	Don’t make cards for things not yet understood.
+	•	One card = one fact.
+	•	Answers must be minimal (1–5 words, number, or short phrase).
+
+Cloze (_____ )
+	•	Use _____ for one missing item only per card.
+	•	Blank the key term/number, not vague words.
+	•	Keep enough surrounding text to disambiguate, nothing extra.
+	•	If a sentence has multiple facts → make multiple cloze cards.
+	•	For sequences/lists → use overlapping clozes, never “list all”.
+
+Context (critical)
+	•	Always make the domain obvious.
+	•	Use a consistent prefix when needed: bioch:, anat:, phys:, pharm:, etc.
+	•	Add disambiguators for similar items (unit, condition, location, comparison).
+	•	If two cards could be confused, rewrite or split.
+
+Wording
+	•	Short, direct prompts; no filler.
+	•	Avoid negatives; if unavoidable, make them explicit.
+	•	Stable phrasing across related cards.
+
+Split the card if
+	•	The answer contains “and/or”, a list, or >7 words.
+	•	Two independent facts are tested.
+	•	It’s repeatedly forgotten.
+
+Metadata (not tested)
+	•	Attach source and date/version separately.
+
+Sanity check
+	•	Answerable in <5 seconds.
+	•	Only one unambiguous correct answer.
+	•	No hidden second fact.
+
+Example
+	•	bioch: GRE = _____ → glucocorticoid response element
+	•	The Dead Sea is on the border between _____ → Israel and Jordan
