First, look for a note called "Study notes and flashcards" 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 "Study notes and flashcards". When I paste lecture notes or a chapter, add a tidy summary under "Notes" with append_to_note, under a "###" heading with the topic, and make five to ten flashcards from it with log_table_row: Question, Answer, Topic, and Box 1. When I say "quiz me", read the table with read_table and ask me one card at a time, lowest box first, without showing the answer. After each answer, tell me if I was right and update its Box with edit_note: up one when I get it right, back to 1 when I don't.
