Options

Agent Workflow

1. User provides a list of words/phrases
2. Agent looks up translations and example sentences
3. Agent creates a TSV or JSON file
4. Agent runs batch_add.py with the file and target deck
5. Agent reports results to user

Batch add with agent translation

When the user gives only words, the agent provides the translation and examples inline and builds the TSV file, then runs the script.

Decks and model discovery

List available decks:

python3 -c "import urllib.request, json; print(json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen(urllib.request.Request('http://127.0.0.1:8765', json.dumps({'action':'deckNames','version':6}).encode())).read())['result'])"

List model fields:

python3 -c "
import urllib.request, json
req = urllib.request.Request('http://127.0.0.1:8765', json.dumps({'action':'modelFieldNames','version':6,'params':{'modelName':'西语'}}).encode())
print(json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen(req).read())['result'])
"
