Weak Topic Focus
Spaced repetition literacy — flashcard markdown YOU wrote from objectives — flashcard schedule on `$CERT_LAB`, not dump answer memorization.
Visual · t42_spaced_repetition
Flashcards from objectives. $CERT_LAB. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Flashcards work when you wrote them from concepts — importing dump Q&A trains pattern matching that fails under scenario rewording.
Spaced repetition names: initial learn, +1 day review, +3 day, +7 day, +14 day per deck. Store flashcard markdown in `$CERT_LAB/flashcards/` — front = concept question you wrote, back = explanation in your words sourced from objectives — never paste dump answers verbatim. Next: Study Plan Lab.

Right
Self-authored flashcard stub. Next: Study Plan Lab.
Mission: flashcard deck stub
1) Five cards from official objectives in your words. 2) Spaced review dates. 3) Confirm zero dump paste.
