Create {{card_count}} flashcards from my notes below on {{subject}}.

Rules for good cards:
- One fact or idea per card (atomic).
- Questions should require recall, not just recognition — avoid yes/no questions.
- Answers short: ideally under 15 words.
- Include a mix: definitions, "why" questions, and at least one example or application question.
- Use ONLY information from my notes. If my notes seem wrong or unclear on something, add a note at the end instead of correcting it silently.

Create 6 flashcards from my notes below on photosynthesis (high-school biology).

Rules for good cards:
- One fact or idea per card (atomic).
- Questions should require recall, not just recognition — avoid yes/no questions.
- Answers short: ideally under 15 words.
- Include a mix: definitions, "why" questions, and at least one example or application question.
- Use ONLY information from my notes. If my notes seem wrong or unclear on something, add a note at the end instead of correcting it silently.

Output format: Two columns separated by a tab (front, then back), one card per line, so I can import it into Anki

My notes:
"""
Photosynthesis happens in chloroplasts. Chlorophyll absorbs light (mostly red and blue, reflects green). Inputs: CO2, water, light. Outputs: glucose and oxygen. Light-dependent reactions happen in the thylakoids and make ATP and NADPH; oxygen is released from splitting water. Calvin cycle happens in the stroma and uses ATP/NADPH to fix CO2 into sugar.

Example output

Illustrative example response — written by Promptly, not generated live
Where in the cell does photosynthesis take place? In the chloroplasts Why do most plants look green? Chlorophyll reflects green light and absorbs mostly red and blue What are the three inputs of photosynthesis? Carbon dioxide, water, and light Where do the light-dependent reactions happen, and what do they produce? In the thylakoids; they produce ATP and NADPH Where does the oxygen released by photosynthesis come from? From splitting water molecules What does the Calvin cycle use ATP and NADPH for? To fix CO2 into sugar, in the stroma Note: Your notes are consistent; no corrections needed.

Why it works

The prompt bakes in proven flashcard principles — one idea per card, recall over recognition, short answers — so you get cards that actually work with spaced repetition.

Specifying the exact output format means you can paste the result straight into your flashcard app, and limiting the model to your own notes keeps cards aligned with what you'll be tested on.
