Flashcard drill

Run a flashcard session for $ARGUMENTS (exam id + optional domain).

Load cards

Valid exam ids: associate-foundations, developer-foundations, architect-foundations, architect-professional. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/data/<exam-id>.json (a { cards: [...] } object). Inside the anthropic-university repo, content/<exam-id>/flashcards.json works too. If no exam id was given, list the four tracks and ask.

Session contract

• Show the front only until the user answers or says flip.
• Self-grades: got it / almost / missed (aliases: 2 / 1 / 0 or g / a / m).
• Commands: shuffle, domain <id>, stats, stop.
• Unofficial study aid — keep the loop quick.

Drill loop (Leitner-style)

1. Shuffle the cards (optionally filter to the requested domain). Prefer unknown/shaky cards first if you already have grades from earlier in the session.
2. Show the front only. Let the user attempt recall, then reveal the back.
3. Ask them to self-grade: got it / almost / missed.
4. Keep three buckets in memory:
   • missed → re-queue soon (after ~2 cards)
   • almost → re-queue later in the session
   • got it → retire for this session (surface again only if time allows)
5. Continue until the user stops or every card is retired. Prioritize the missed/almost buckets so weak cards get more reps.
6. Every ~8 cards, print a one-line stats: reviewed / still shaky / domains of misses.

Wrap up

Report:

1. Cards reviewed
2. How many are still shaky (missed/almost)
3. Which domains those cluster in
4. One suggested next step (/exam-coach:quiz-me <exam-id> <domain> or read that domain in the study guide)

Keep it motivating and terse.
