SEF Examples

Complete, importable example manifests for the SuperCards Exchange Format (format version 1.1.0). Download one, open it next to the JSON Schema, or hand it to a model as a few-shot reference alongside /sef/llms.txt.

Both files import as-is via the desktop app. Packaged .supercards archives (the same manifest zipped together with its assets) import the same way — archive support shipped with SuperCards 0.6. A downloadable archive example is coming to this page.

Masterworks of the Baroque

10 cards · 11 KB · baroque_masterworks_v2.supercards.json

An image-first art deck: each front is a full-width painting fetched by URL at import; each back stacks heading, subheading, body, and caption roles. Demonstrates URL image references, semantic roles, and deck-level color.

Infinite Intensity — Exercise Index

75 cards · 105 KB · infinite_intensity.supercards.json

A large exercise reference generated from a PDF: fronts group step photos pulled straight from the source document via pdf:page:index references; backs carry markdown instruction lists. Demonstrates pdf: references, image grouping, and a full-size deck.

Caveat: A caution before you copy this pattern: pdf: image indices are fragile. pdf:page:N:index:M selects an image by enumeration order inside the PDF, and that order follows the file’s internal structure — nested graphics, decorative strips, and split images all claim indices — not what a person sees as “picture M.” Some of this deck’s indices land on the wrong image of its source ebook for exactly that reason. Always verify every pdf:-referenced image after import, and if you can’t verify an index, extract the image and bundle the file in assets/ instead — real image files are the reliable path.

The minimal valid file

A deck title plus one card with one text block — everything else is optional. Text is markdown by default.

{
  "supercards_format": "1.1.0",
  "deck": { "title": "My Deck" },
  "cards": [{ "front": [{ "type": "text", "text": "Hello, world!" }] }]
