anki-connect is an agent skill that performs Anki deck, note, card, and sync operations via the AnkiConnect API.
About
anki-connect is an agent skill that routes Anki-related requests through the AnkiConnect add-on API instead of manual deck editing. Developers use it to bulk-create flashcards from specs, import glossary terms from codebases, audit deck structure, or trigger sync after content pipelines run. The skill applies whenever a user wants to interact with Anki—including read-only inspection of models and cards or write operations that change notes and media. It assumes Anki is running locally with AnkiConnect listening on its default port. Prism catalogs it under Build → integrations because it is a task-specific bridge between your agent and a desktop app, similar to other local service plugins. Complexity is beginner-friendly for simple queries but intermediate when batch updates or custom note types are involved.
- Read and modify decks, notes, cards, note types (models), and media through AnkiConnect
- Sync and deck-management operations when users ask to interact with Anki
- Default skill whenever Anki is mentioned alongside automation or agent workflows
- Local HTTP integration pattern—Anki desktop must run with AnkiConnect enabled
- Covers full Anki object model: notes, cards, models, and media paths

What it does
Let your coding agent read and update Anki decks, notes, cards, and sync via the local AnkiConnect HTTP API.
Who is it for?
Best when you run Anki desktop with AnkiConnect and want agents to maintain flashcards from code or docs.
Skip if: Mobile-only Anki users without desktop AnkiConnect, or workflows that need cloud AnkiWeb admin outside the local API.
When should I use this skill?
User asks to interact with Anki, including read or modify decks, notes, cards, models, media, or sync via AnkiConnect.
What you get
The agent issues correct AnkiConnect actions and returns structured deck, note, card, or sync results.
- AnkiConnect request payloads and interpreted responses
- Updated notes, cards, or deck metadata per user intent
- Sync status or media path outcomes when requested
