Open review modal	Opens the deck list ready to start a review session.
Open flashcard manager	Opens the flashcard manager — the searchable table of every card, where you build custom and filter decks.
Generate flashcards with AI	Opens the AI generator to draft cards from a topic or your notes. Requires an API key.
Create image occlusion at cursor	Pick a vault image, insert an image-occlusion block at the cursor, and open the studio to draw masks. An editor command — run it from inside a note.

In the palette these all appear prefixed with the plugin name, e.g. “DecksMD: Show flashcards panel.”
