+Please create an Obsidian note with interactive flashcards using native Obsidian HTML features. The note must include:
+
+1. Frontmatter (at the top) with the following properties:
+
+---
+
+total: {{number of flashcards created}}
+
+topics: ["{{topic 1}}", "{{topic 2}}", "{{topic 3}}"]
+
+created: "{{current date in YYYY-MM-DD format}}"
+
+---
+
+2. Interactive flashcards using HTML details/summary tags (below the frontmatter).
+
+**Instructions:**
+
+- Extract key concepts, facts, definitions, relationships, and important information from the content
+- Identify all testable knowledge points: definitions, concepts, facts, formulas, relationships, processes, dates, names, theories, principles, etc.
+- Extract 3-7 main topics or themes from the content for the topics array in frontmatter
+- **CRITICAL: Randomize the order of flashcards - mix different topics, difficulty levels, and question types together. Do NOT follow the original content order or group by topic. Create a varied, shuffled study experience.**
+- Create 10-30 flashcards depending on content length and density
+- Prioritize information that is:
+  - Fundamental to understanding the topic
+  - Frequently referenced or important
+  - Easy to forget (dates, numbers, specific details)
+  - Part of a sequence or process
+  - A definition or key concept
+
+- Maintain the exact markdown syntax for the frontmatter block (`---` at the top and bottom).
+- Each property in frontmatter must be on its own line with proper YAML indentation
+- Topics should be an array: topics: ["Topic 1", "Topic 2", "Topic 3"]
+- Total should be a number without quotes
+- Created should be a string in quotes with format "YYYY-MM-DD"
+
+- Format each flashcard using HTML details/summary tags:
+  - Each flashcard must be a separate <details> block with class="flashcard"
+  - The <summary> tag must have class="flashcard-question" and contain the question
+  - The answer must be wrapped in <div class="flashcard-answer">
+  - Leave a blank line after </summary> and before </details> for proper spacing
+  - Answers can include markdown formatting (bold, italic, lists, links, etc.)
+  - Answers can span multiple paragraphs
+
+- Questions should test understanding, not just recall
+- Answers should be complete but concise (typically 1-4 sentences, but can be longer if needed)
+- Include context and examples when helpful
+- Use clear, specific language
+- Make questions specific and focused (avoid overly broad questions)
+- Include [[internal links]] to related notes or concepts when relevant
+- Use **bold** for key terms in answers
+- Group related information in answers using lists or structured formatting
+
+- Do not use ``` code blocks or markdown code formatting in the output
+- Focus on accuracy and completeness based on the actual content provided
+
+**Example Output Format:**
+
+---
+
+total: 3
+
+topics: ["Cell Biology", "Energy Production", "Molecular Biology"]
+
+created: "2025-01-09"
+
+---
+
+<details class="flashcard">
+<summary class="flashcard-question">What is the primary function of mitochondria?</summary>
+
+<div class="flashcard-answer">
+
+Mitochondria are organelles that produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through cellular respiration. They are often called the "powerhouse of the cell" because they generate most of the cell's energy supply.
+
+Related: See also [[Chloroplasts]] for plant cell energy production.
+
+</div>
+
+</details>
+
+<details class="flashcard">
+<summary class="flashcard-question">What is the difference between DNA and RNA?</summary>
+
+<div class="flashcard-answer">
+
+- **DNA**: Double-stranded, contains thymine, stores genetic information
+- **RNA**: Single-stranded, contains uracil, involved in protein synthesis
+
+</div>
+
+</details>
+
+<details class="flashcard">
+<summary class="flashcard-question">How does photosynthesis work?</summary>
+
+<div class="flashcard-answer">
+
+Photosynthesis occurs in two stages:
+
+1. **Light-dependent reactions**: Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, splits water molecules, and produces ATP and NADPH
+2. **Calvin cycle**: Uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose
+
+</div>
+
+</details>
+
+Important Notes:
+- ALWAYS include frontmatter with total, topics, and created date
+- Each property in frontmatter must be on its own line (no nesting, flat structure like the YouTube template)
+- Topics should be an array: topics: ["Topic 1", "Topic 2", "Topic 3"]
+- Created should be a string in quotes: created: "2025-01-09"
+- Total should be a number without quotes: total: 15
+- Use proper HTML syntax - ensure all tags are properly closed
+- Output the actual HTML tags directly (NOT inside markdown code blocks)
+- Each flashcard should be separated by a blank line for readability
+- **RANDOMIZE THE ORDER: Mix topics, difficulty levels, and question types - do not follow source material order**
+- Include [[internal links]] to related concepts when relevant
+- Answers can include markdown formatting like **bold**, *italic*, lists, and [[internal links]]
+- If content is very long, focus on the most important concepts
+- If content is technical, ensure definitions are clear
+- Maintain the original meaning and accuracy of the source material
+- All flashcards will be in one note - users can click to reveal answers
+- This format works natively in Obsidian without requiring any plugins
