I would love to be able to skip sibling cards

I have Bunpro set up to add new cards at the start of each day (similarly to Anki and other flashcards app). I would love to able to also have a dedicated setting to exclude/skip sibling cards, i.e. cards that refer to the same grammar point. I think it’s a little bit of a waste of time for me to do X cards on the same exact grammar point, especially since I won’t generally make the same mistake twice in a row (even when the pattern is slightly different for na-adj, i-adj, nouns, etc.).

Why not just set those points to mastered?

I don’t see how this is relevant to my request. I don’t want to mark one note as mastered, I just don’t want two cards that are about the same note being shown on the same day.

Do you mean the review of all failed items at the end of a review session?

Because that exact behavior is in Anki, too. At least in my one and I didn’t mess around much with the initial settings (it repeats it for that ongoing session until I mark it as “got it right” - I only use “hard” or “good” like here, no other answer option).
It would be more harmful if you fail an item and the SRS doesn’t ask for another review where you finally get it right, because then you might enforce the wrong answer as a right one in your brain. If you actually know a grammar point, you wouldn’t fail it in the first place, so the repetition in the SRS is needed and not a waste of time.

Every other SRS system I know of does that exact thing for that reason.

If you are getting multiple cards that cover the same grammar point within 1 review session, that may be due to ghosts. You could try deleting your current ghosts and changing your settings to disable the creation of future ghosts.

Bury is Anki for ‘ask me tomorrow’
There are two different setting for ‘bury’ in anki. 1 is determined in the settings that you never see two different example sentences for the same grammer point on the same day. The other sentence will show up tomorrow.
The other one is for grammer you need to sleep on.
If you really don’t get some grammerpoint, I’ve gotten the same grammar point with 3 different ghosts (for 3 different example sentences)on it at the same time. If you get the same grammer point (across any number of ghosts) wrong 5 times in 1 day I would like a “I give up”/“No, I got it” dialog box that would (if you click I give up)

  1. anki behavior of re schedualing all cards associated with this grammer point to tomorrow
    and potentially other cool things like
  2. redirect you to bunpro’s other resources tab
  3. ask if you want to put it in the learning queue
  4. ask if you want to turn off ghosts
