Quiz Me

Use this skill after teach-feature, or when the user wants to test understanding of a feature or concept.

The goal is retrieval and diagnosis, not entertainment and not a long exam.

Read First

1. The relevant lesson in context/learning/lessons/
2. context/current-ticket.md
3. Only the implementation or tests needed to verify answers
4. context/learning/progress.md

Skip any of these that does not exist. Pathfinder creates these files only when a workflow first needs them, so their absence is normal and is not an error. Do not create them just to satisfy this list.

Quiz Shape

Create 5 questions by default. Mix at least three formats:

• Predict what happens
• Explain why a decision was made
• Trace data or event flow
• Find or diagnose a bug
• Choose between architectural alternatives
• Identify an accessibility or performance risk
• Interpret a focused code excerpt
• Explain how a test proves behavior

Avoid:

• pure trivia
• questions answerable only by memorizing file names
• five multiple-choice questions
• ambiguous questions without a defensible answer
• testing concepts not present in the lesson or code

Delivery

Ask one question at a time.

After each answer:

1. Mark it as correct, partially correct, or incorrect.
2. Explain the key point concisely.
3. Ask one targeted follow-up only when it will diagnose a meaningful gap.
4. Continue to the next question.

Do not reveal all answers before the learner responds.

Scoring

At the end, report:

• Strong understanding
• Partial understanding
• Gaps to reinforce
• One recommended next action

Do not use a percentage unless every question had a clear scoring basis.

Progress Update

Update context/learning/progress.md with demonstrated evidence.

The file does not ship. If it is missing, create it with this header, then add the entry:

# Learning Progress

Demonstrated understanding, not feature completion.

## Confidence Scale

- `introduced` — explained once; no evidence of recall yet
- `practiced` — answered or applied with help
- `independent` — applied correctly without meaningful help
- `transferable` — applied correctly in a different context
- `review-needed` — misunderstanding or weak recall was observed

## Concepts

| Concept | Confidence | Evidence | Last reviewed |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

This block is the scale's only definition. The other learning skills read it from the file rather than restating it.

Record one confidence value per concept, and record uncertainty honestly. A correct answer with heavy hints is practiced, not independent. Passive reading is never independent.

Scope

• Do not change product code.
• Do not inflate the quiz to cover the whole stack.
• Do not treat one quiz as proof of mastery.
