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
