Exam Config

Code Exam — Configuration

Help the user configure their exam preferences through an interactive menu.

Step 1: Read Current Config

Run via Bash:

node scripts/store.js config

This returns the current configuration:

{
  "questionCount": 3,
  "difficulty": "auto",
  "questionTypes": ["multiple_choice", "free_text", "file_picker"],
  "autoExam": true
}

Step 2: Present the Configuration Menu

Display the current settings and options:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Current settings:

1. Questions per exam: {questionCount}
   Options: 1-10

2. Difficulty: {difficulty}
   Options: auto / easy / medium / hard

3. Question types: {questionTypes as comma-separated}
   Options: multiple_choice, free_text, file_picker
   (at least one must be selected)

4. Auto-exam after coding: {autoExam ? "on" : "off"}
   When on, Claude offers an exam after finishing coding tasks

Which setting would you like to change? (1-4, or "done" to exit)

Step 3: Handle User Choice

Wait for the user's response. For each setting:

1. Questions per exam: Ask: "How many questions per exam? (1-10, currently {questionCount})" Validate: must be integer 1-10. Save via:

node scripts/store.js config-set questionCount {value}

2. Difficulty: Ask: "Which difficulty? (auto / easy / medium / hard, currently {difficulty})"

• auto: difficulty adapts based on module complexity and your past scores
• easy: surface-level reading comprehension questions
• medium: requires understanding dependencies and side effects
• hard: requires deep architectural understanding and tradeoff analysis

Save via:

node scripts/store.js config-set difficulty {value}

3. Question types: Ask: "Which question types? List the ones you want, comma-separated. (currently: {types})"

• multiple_choice: 4 options, instant feedback
• free_text: explain in your own words, strictly graded
• file_picker: identify the correct file for a task

At least one must be selected. Save by updating the config:

node scripts/store.js config-set questionTypes {value}

Note: for array values, pass as comma-separated and the skill should write the full config object.

4. Auto-exam: Ask: "Auto-exam after coding tasks? (on / off, currently {autoExam})" Save via:

node scripts/store.js config-set autoExam {true|false}

Step 4: Loop or Exit

After saving a setting, show the updated menu again and ask "Anything else to change? (1-4, or 'done')". When the user says "done", confirm:

Configuration saved. Your next exam will use these settings.
