Requires Anki Desktop running locally with the AnkiConnect add-on installed.
This project is a skill for AI coding assistants, like Claude Code, Gemini, or Codex, that teaches them how to automate Anki, the popular flashcard app used for memorizing vocabulary and other facts. Instead of manually creating flashcards yourself, you can ask your AI assistant to add a word, and it will look up the translation, definition, part of speech, and example sentences from Cambridge Dictionary, fetch a native speaker audio pronunciation, and build a properly formatted flashcard for you automatically. The skill connects to a locally running copy of Anki through a small helper add on called AnkiConnect, which exposes Anki's database over a local web address. It fetches audio specifically from the headword pronunciation section of dictionary pages, avoiding unrelated audio elsewhere on the page, and falls back to alternate pages or singular word forms when the exact audio it wants is missing. It also includes scripts for generating text to speech audio using other voice engines, in case dictionary audio is not available. Cards created this way use several separate fields, such as word, translation, definition, examples, and audio, rather than a single simple front and back, and come with modern styling templates. As a safety measure, the skill requires your explicit approval before performing any action that changes or deletes existing cards, tags, or decks. By default it is set up to translate English into Polish, but it is built to work with any language pair supported by Cambridge Dictionary, by changing a few URL settings and translating the card template text. To use it, you need Anki installed with the AnkiConnect add on running, and you install this skill by copying its documentation file into your AI assistant's skills folder, after which the assistant can use it automatically whenever you ask for Anki related help. This project is aimed at language learners who use AI assistants for note taking and want their flashcard creation automated. It is released under the MIT license.
