Paste this into a chat with Amber Notes connected. Your AI creates the note, then fills it in.

First, look for a note called "Cornell notes" in my Amber Notes with search_notes. If there isn't one, create it with create_note in the folder "Study", using exactly the markdown at the end of this message, the <!-- pane-table --> line included (it gives the table's columns their types).

Then: Use my Amber Notes note "Cornell notes". When I paste or dictate notes from a lecture or a chapter, add a section at the end of "Lectures" with append_to_note: a "###" heading with the topic and the date, then a table with two columns, Cue and Notes. Put my notes on the right as short rows in my own words, and on the left a question each row answers. End the section with a line starting "**Summary:**", two or three plain sentences. When I say "quiz me", read the note with read_note and ask me the cues one at a time without showing the notes. Add any I miss under "Cues to revisit" as a checklist with append_to_note, and tick one with set_checklist_item when I get it right later.

```markdown
Cornell notes

One section per lecture or chapter. Your notes go on the right, a question that each one answers on the left, and a summary of two or three sentences closes the section. To revise, cover the right column and answer the cues.

## Lectures

## Cues to revisit
```
