Description
Smart Shelf Decks by MProve.AI
Stop manually juggling AnKing shelf tags and overlapping filtered decks.
Smart Shelf Decks automatically organizes AnKing Step 2 cards around your current clinical rotation while preserving normal Anki scheduling.
What it does
When you choose a shelf, Smart Shelf Decks creates/uses three simple normal decks:
- Shelf Study - [Current Rotation] — cards relevant to the shelf you are currently studying
- Answered Previous Shelf Cards — cards you already studied on earlier rotations that are not part of the current shelf
- Unanswered Previous Shelf Cards — cards from earlier rotations that you never reached and that are not part of the current shelf
When you move to a new rotation:
- Cards that belong to the new shelf are automatically pulled into the current Shelf Study deck, no matter where they currently live.
- Cards you already answered on an older shelf remain in circulation in Answered Previous Shelf Cards.
- Cards you never answered on the old shelf are moved to Unanswered Previous Shelf Cards.
- Cards that overlap between shelves automatically move back into the active shelf deck when relevant.
- Cards are moved, not duplicated, so one concept keeps one Anki review history.
There are no filtered decks to rebuild every day.
Example
You start Surgery with 2,000 cards and study 500 of them.
When you switch to Internal Medicine:
- Surgery + IM overlap cards move/stay in Shelf Study - Internal Medicine
- Answered Surgery-only cards move to Answered Previous Shelf Cards
- Unanswered Surgery-only cards move to Unanswered Previous Shelf Cards
- New IM cards are added to the active IM deck
The answered cards keep their normal Anki scheduling.
Included shelf categories
- Surgery
- Internal Medicine
- Family Medicine
- Pediatrics
- OB/GYN
- Psychiatry
- Neurology
- Emergency Medicine
AnKing support
The default configuration is designed for AnKing Step 2 v12 and searches both major shelf tag trees:
- #AK_Step2_v12::!Shelf::
- #AK_Step2_v12::#Resources_by_rotation::
For Neurology, the add-on uses:
- #AK_Step2_v12::!Shelf::Neuro
- #AK_Step2_v12::#Resources_by_rotation::Neuro
Tag mappings can be edited in the add-on configuration if your AnKing version differs.
How to use
- Install the add-on and restart Anki.
- Go to Tools → Smart Shelf Decks → Start / Change Rotation…
- Choose the shelf you are currently studying.
- Review the preview showing how many cards will move.
- Confirm.
- Study Shelf Study - [Current Rotation] normally.
For cumulative review, study Answered Previous Shelf Cards separately.
You can generally ignore Unanswered Previous Shelf Cards until one of those cards becomes relevant to a future shelf.
Safety features
- Preview before every rotation switch
- Shelf-tag coverage checker
- Original deck locations are saved before cards are first moved
- Restore Original Decks option
- Cards are moved between normal decks rather than duplicated
- The add-on does not intentionally reset review history, intervals, or due dates
As with any add-on that reorganizes cards, sync/back up your Anki collection before first use.
