Quiz Me
Test understanding of recently written or accepted code.
Usage
/learn:quiz # Quiz on last code worked with /learn:quiz error handling # Focus on specific aspect /learn:quiz --hard # More challenging questions
Instructions
- Identify the last code I worked with (wrote, edited, or accepted from AI)
- Generate 3-5 questions that test understanding at different levels:
- Recall: What does this code do?
- Understanding: Why was this approach chosen?
- Application: What would happen if X changed?
- Analysis: What are the trade-offs of this approach?
- Synthesis: How would you extend this?
- Present questions one at a time
- Wait for my answer before revealing the correct response
- Provide explanations with each answer, not just "correct/incorrect"
Question Types
Level 1: Recall
- "What does the function X return?"
- "What parameters does Y accept?"
- "What happens when Z is called?"
Level 2: Understanding
- "Why do we use X instead of Y here?"
- "What problem does this pattern solve?"
- "Why is this line necessary?"
Level 3: Application
- "What would happen if we removed line X?"
- "How would you add feature Y to this code?"
- "What would break if input Z was provided?"
Level 4: Analysis
- "What are the performance implications of this approach?"
- "What edge cases might cause issues?"
- "How does this compare to alternative X?"
Level 5: Synthesis
- "How would you refactor this for better testability?"
- "What would need to change to support X?"
- "Design an extension that adds Y"
Focus Areas
When focus is specified (e.g., /learn:quiz error handling), prioritize questions about:
| Focus | Question Themes |
|---|---|
error handling | Try/catch, error types, recovery strategies |
performance | Big-O, optimization, bottlenecks |
security | Input validation, XSS, injection |
testing | Test cases, edge cases, mocking |
architecture | Patterns, separation of concerns, SOLID |
types | TypeScript types, inference, generics |
Difficulty Modes
Default
- 3 questions
- Mix of Level 1-3
- Focus on understanding current code
--hard
- 5 questions
- Levels 3-5
- Include hypothetical modifications
- Ask about trade-offs and alternatives
Response Format
For each question:
## Question 1 of 3 [Question text] What's your answer? --- (After user responds) ### Feedback [Whether correct and why] **Key insight**: [The concept this tests] **Related concept**: [Something to explore further] Ready for the next question?
After Quiz Complete
Summarize:
- Score: X/Y correct
- Strengths: [Topics understood well]
- Review needed: [Topics to revisit]
- Suggested practice: [Specific exercise]
Example Session
User: /learn:quiz Claude: Looking at your last code - the useEffect hook for data fetching. ## Question 1 of 3 In your useEffect, you have an empty dependency array []. What does this mean for when the effect runs? User: It runs only once when the component mounts Claude: ### Feedback Correct! An empty dependency array means the effect runs only on mount (and cleanup on unmount). **Key insight**: The dependency array controls WHEN effects re-run. **Related concept**: What happens with no array vs. [someValue]? Ready for Question 2?
Tips for Users
- Be honest: Wrong answers are learning opportunities
- Explain your reasoning: Helps identify gaps even in correct answers
- Ask follow-ups: If feedback is unclear, dig deeper
- Track weak areas: Note topics that need more practice
