AI Agent Skill
Markdown is a perfect format for AI-generated content, and this add-on leans into that. It ships with a companion skill that lets AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) create and manage markdown flashcards directly from your editor via AnkiConnect. The add-on renders the markdown, the skill creates it.
Prerequisites: Anki desktop running with AnkiConnect installed.
Install:
npx skills add terkelg/anki-markdown -s anki
