Version History

v1.1.3Mar 14, 2026 - Version note by skill developer:

Add pronunciation comparison workflow and immediate-add behavior for new words

What This Skill Does

Tracks vocabulary from books, podcasts, and daily reading through a 3-step learning process and spaced repetition schedule. Words progress from active learning through long-term review to mastery. Supports pronunciation comparison sets, scheduled quizzes via cron, and French word entries with audio clips.

Vocabulary stays attached to its original reading context, so meaning, page number, and source are always part of the entry instead of isolated flashcards.

When to use it

  • Adding an unfamiliar word while reading a novel
  • Practicing pronunciation differences between similar-sounding words
  • Running a scheduled hourly vocabulary quiz
  • Reviewing all words collected from a specific book
  • Checking which words are due for spaced repetition review today
