What it does

Spaced Repetition Setup is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Set up a spaced-repetition system to actually remember what you learn — good cards, the right review rhythm, and the mistakes that make flashcards useless. Use when asked help me memorize, set up flashcards / Anki, how do I remember what I study, or spaced repetition for. Produces card-writing guidance (atomic, one-fact, testable — not walls of text), a review cadence that leverages the forgetting curve, what's worth making cards for vs not, and the common failure modes that make people quit — turning…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Education, covering Study guides and flashcards. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked help me memorize
  • Set up flashcards / Anki
  • How do I remember what I study
  • Spaced repetition for

Example prompts

  • “/spaced-repetition-setup”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Make cards atomic. One fact or idea per card, phrased as a clear question with an unambiguous answer — big cards and vague prompts are why…
  2. Understand before memorizing. Cards cement understanding; they don't create it. Learn the concept first, then card the facts (or it's…
  3. Trust the spacing. Review items just before you'd forget; intervals lengthen as you get them right. The system schedules it — your job is…
  4. Card selectively. Memorize what genuinely needs recall (vocabulary, facts, formulas); learn procedural stuff by doing, not by flashcard.
  5. Sustain the habit. Small daily reviews beat weekend binges; don't let cards pile up (the #1 quit reason). Keep the daily load small.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Spaced Repetition Setup loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 538 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Set up a spaced-repetition system to actually remember what you learn — good cards, the right review rhythm, and the mistakes that make flashcards useless. Use when asked help me memorize, set up flashcards / Anki, how do I remember what I study, or spaced repetition for. Produces card-writing guidance (atomic, one-fact, testable — not walls of text), a review cadence that leverages the forgetting curve, what's worth making cards for vs not, and the common failure modes that make people quit — turning cramming-and-forgetting into durable memory.

Spaced-Repetition Setup

You forget most of what you learn within days — unless you review it at expanding intervals, right as you're about to forget. Spaced repetition exploits that. But most people make terrible cards (whole paragraphs, ambiguous prompts) and quit. This sets up a system that works: how to write cards that stick, the review rhythm, what's even worth memorizing, and the traps that kill the habit.

What This Skill Produces

  • Card-writing rules — atomic (one fact per card), testable, unambiguous, and in your own words — the difference between cards that work and cards you'll delete
  • A review cadence — how spacing works (review just before you'd forget; intervals expand as you succeed) and how to sustain it
  • What to make cards for — the facts/concepts worth memorizing vs. what's better learned by doing (don't card everything)
  • The failure modes — the specific mistakes (giant cards, ambiguous prompts, memorizing without understanding, letting reviews pile up) that make people quit
  • A starter setup — tool suggestion and a first batch of well-formed cards for your topic

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • What you're memorizing — a subject, a language, facts for an exam
  • Why — an exam, a skill, long-term retention
  • Your tool — Anki, a notes app, paper, or need a suggestion
  • How much material — and any deadline

Framework: Good Cards, Right Rhythm, Sustained

  1. Make cards atomic. One fact or idea per card, phrased as a clear question with an unambiguous answer — big cards and vague prompts are why systems fail.
  2. Understand before memorizing. Cards cement understanding; they don't create it. Learn the concept first, then card the facts (or it's meaningless rote).
  3. Trust the spacing. Review items just before you'd forget; intervals lengthen as you get them right. The system schedules it — your job is to show up.
  4. Card selectively. Memorize what genuinely needs recall (vocabulary, facts, formulas); learn procedural stuff by doing, not by flashcard.
  5. Sustain the habit. Small daily reviews beat weekend binges; don't let cards pile up (the #1 quit reason). Keep the daily load small.

Output Format

Spaced repetition: [subject] · tool [x]

Write cards like this: atomic (one fact) · clear question · unambiguous answer · your own words. Example: [a good card vs a bad one for your topic]. Review rhythm: [daily short reviews; intervals expand as you succeed] — don't let them pile up. Make cards for: [facts/vocab/formulas]. Don't card: [procedural stuff — learn by doing]. Avoid: giant cards · vague prompts · memorizing without understanding · binge-and-lapse. Starter batch: [a few well-formed cards for your topic].

Quality Checks

  • Card-writing rules emphasize atomic, testable, unambiguous cards
  • Stresses understanding before memorizing
  • Explains the expanding-interval review rhythm
  • Says what to card vs. learn by doing
  • Names the failure modes that cause quitting
  • Provides a starter setup and example cards

Anti-Patterns

  • Wall-of-text cards with paragraphs to memorize.
  • Ambiguous prompts with multiple right answers.
  • Memorizing without understanding first.
  • Carding everything, including procedural skills.
  • Letting reviews pile up into an unmanageable backlog.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Set up spaced repetition for learning Spanish vocab."
  • "Help me make Anki cards that actually work for my exam."
  • "How do I remember what I study instead of forgetting it?"
  • "I keep cramming and forgetting — set me up a real system."
  • "What should I make flashcards for vs. not?"
