This is a fantastic toolkit, and the discussion in the comments about the learning benefits of manual creation is spot-on.

I think the real killer feature here isn't just bulk-generating new cards, but enriching existing, manually-created ones.

My ideal workflow would be:

Manually create a basic card when I encounter a new word (e.g., the word and the sentence I found it in). This preserves that crucial "moment of discovery" and initial learning. Once a week or so, run anki-llm as a batch process on all new cards to add powerful, context-rich fields like: etymology, common collocations, or subtle nuance (vs. a similar word). This way, you get the best of both worlds: the initial learning from manual creation, followed by automated enrichment that would be too tedious to do by hand. Really powerful stuff, great work!
