Creating Decks & Cards

In streamboard, you typically don’t create cards manually — your AI assistant generates them from your conversations. But you can also manage everything from the web streamboard.

Creating cards through AI

The primary workflow is conversational. While working with any MCP-connected AI tool:

> explain the difference between useEffect and useLayoutEffect
> save that to streamboard

Your AI assistant will:

1. Break the concept into atomic, reviewable flashcards
2. Generate a clear front (question) and back (answer) for each
3. Add relevant tags
4. Create or select an appropriate deck

Creating cards from code

If you’re using Claude Code, you can generate cards directly from source files:

/streamboard:generate-cards src/auth.ts

This analyzes the code and creates cards that test your understanding of the patterns and APIs used. Each card references the original source file.

Managing decks on the web

From the decks page, you can:

• Create new decks with a title and description
• Browse and edit cards within a deck
• Move cards between decks
• Delete decks you no longer need

Organizing tips

• Keep decks focused — one topic per deck works better than large mixed decks
• Let AI name things — your AI assistant usually picks good deck names and tags from context
• Use tags — tags let you search across decks, even when cards live in different places
