Conversation Quiz
Generate multiple choice questions testing understanding of the current conversation.
Instructions
-
Analyze the conversation context for quizzable content:
- Technical concepts discussed
- Decisions made
- Code patterns or implementations
- Key facts or configurations
-
Generate 3-10 questions with 4 options each (default 5, or as many as the user/arguments request)
-
Question Quality Guidelines
- Questions should test understanding, not memorization of exact wording
- Include plausible distractors (wrong answers that could seem right)
- Vary difficulty: mix straightforward recall with deeper comprehension
- Descriptions should explain WHY the option is correct/incorrect (shown only after answering)
- If conversation lacks substance for 3 questions, generate what's reasonable and note the limitation
-
Write questions to file and launch external quiz runner:
- Generate a unix timestamp:
date +%svia Bash - Write questions JSON to
/tmp/quiz_questions_$TIMESTAMP.jsonusing the format below - Tell the user to run in a separate terminal:
python3 ~/.claude/skills/quiz/quiz.py /tmp/quiz_questions_$TIMESTAMP.json - The quiz runner writes results to
/tmp/quiz_results_$TIMESTAMP.json(same timestamp, auto-derived from questions filename) - Wait for user to report back that they finished
- Read results from
/tmp/quiz_results_$TIMESTAMP.json - Provide feedback: celebrate correct answers, explain wrong ones with the description from the correct option
- Generate a unix timestamp:
Questions JSON Format
[
{
"question": "What network mode allows containers to share the host's network namespace?",
"options": [
{"label": "bridge", "correct": false, "description": "Bridge creates an isolated network — containers get their own namespace"},
{"label": "host", "correct": true, "description": "Host mode removes network isolation — container shares the host's network stack"},
{"label": "overlay", "correct": false, "description": "Overlay enables multi-host networking, but still uses separate namespaces"},
{"label": "macvlan", "correct": false, "description": "Macvlan assigns a MAC address to the container — separate namespace with direct network access"}
]
}
]
Important
- Each question MUST have exactly ONE option with
"correct": true - The
descriptionfield is NOT shown during the quiz — only used for post-quiz feedback - Options are shuffled automatically by the quiz runner — no need to randomize in the JSON
- The quiz runner handles: display, input, timing, scoring, and writes results to file
