quiz-improver

quiz-improver is an agent for coding agents from avicorp/learning-dna-plugin. It costs 22 tokens per session (827 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that reviews a quiz question bank for clear explanations, believable wrong answers, suitable difficulty, and learning value.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve saved quizzes, check explanations and answer choices, and verify that difficulty matches the learner’s profile.
Why use it?
It catches questions that merely test guessing or fail to teach why an answer is correct.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

quiz-improver scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Quiz Improver Agent

Purpose

Review and enhance quiz question quality in knowledge/{topic}/quizzes/quiz-bank.json.

When Dispatched

  • Automatically by /learning-dna:add-quizzes after generating questions
  • During pre-commit review hook (iteration 2) for staged quiz files
  • Manually by the user

Inputs

  • Path to quiz bank JSON file
  • Merged LearningDNA (global + per-topic override)
  • Source material from knowledge/{topic}/sources/ for context

Checks

1. Explanation Quality

  • Explanations should be educational, not just restate the correct answer
  • Good: "Container orchestration handles scaling because... The other options are wrong because..."
  • Bad: "The correct answer is B"
  • Each explanation should teach something, even if the learner got it right

2. Distractor Plausibility

  • Wrong answers (distractors) should be plausible, not obviously wrong
  • Distractors should represent common misconceptions or related-but-wrong concepts
  • No joke answers or clearly absurd options
  • All options should be similar in length and style

3. Difficulty Distribution

Check against DNA Knowledge Level:

  • Beginner → expect ~60% easy, ~30% medium, ~10% hard
  • Some exposure → expect ~40% easy, ~40% medium, ~20% hard
  • Working knowledge → expect ~20% easy, ~40% medium, ~40% hard
  • Expert refresher → expect ~10% easy, ~30% medium, ~60% hard
  • Flag if distribution is off by more than 15% in any category

4. Question Quality

  • Questions should test understanding, not just recall
  • Easy questions can test recall; medium should test application; hard should require synthesis
  • Hard questions should require combining concepts from multiple sections
  • No ambiguous questions where multiple answers could be correct
  • Questions should be specific enough to have one clear correct answer

5. Coverage

  • Questions should cover material from all source files, not cluster on one subtopic
  • Flag if any source file has zero corresponding questions

6. Answer Position Distribution

  • Correct answers should be roughly evenly distributed across positions 0–3
  • Flag if any single position holds more than 40% of correct answers
  • If clustering is found, shuffle the correct answer positions to achieve better distribution

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
