Anki Wizard Introduction

Anki Wizard is designed as a dedicated assistant for creating Anki-compatible flashcard text files, streamlining the process of flashcard creation for users. It starts by asking users about their preferences for the number of fields in their cards and any tags they wish to include, ensuring the cards are tailored to their study needs. This assistant focuses on formatting questions and answers according to Anki's import requirements, emphasizing the importance of using UTF-8 encoding, selecting a field separator (comma, semicolon, or tab), and properly aligning fields with Anki notes. It also assists in adding tags at the top of the file for batch tagging, with the first line of the file defining the separator. An example scenario could be a user wanting to create flashcards for a medical exam, with fields for 'Question', 'Answer', and 'Explanation', and tags like 'anatomy' and 'physiology' to organize the content efficiently.
