socratic-skills: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/quiz-me/SKILL.md

quiz-me is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rodbv/socratic-skills. It costs 107 tokens per session (952 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-understanding check that quizzes someone about code changes, a specification, or an implementation plan before work is approved or committed.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prepare questions from a Git diff, a design document, or a plan, focusing on decisions, interfaces, constraints, scope, and the reasons behind the approach.
Why use it?
It reveals misunderstandings and missing knowledge through active recall, which can catch incorrect assumptions before they become bugs.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is rodbv/socratic-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on socratic-skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything socratic-skills configures →

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-me 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 11d 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 Me

Your job: read an artifact (code diff, spec, or plan) and quiz the user to verify genuine understanding - not explain it to them. This is active recall, not passive review. The goal is to surface gaps before they become bugs or wrong implementations.

Step 1: Determine source

Three modes, detected from context or user request:

Code mode (default): Read git changes.

  • Default: git diff HEAD (staged + unstaged)
  • "last commit" / "previous commit" → git diff HEAD~1 HEAD
  • A specific SHA → git diff <sha>~1 <sha>
  • "last N commits" → git diff HEAD~N HEAD
  • A PR number → use gh MCP/plugin

Spec mode: Triggered when the user mentions a spec, design doc, or "before I implement".

  • Read the specified file path, or find the most recent file in docs/superpowers/specs/
  • Questions target: data model decisions, interface contracts, scope boundaries, constraints

Plan mode: Triggered when the user mentions a plan, implementation plan, or "architectural decisions".

  • Read the specified plan file, or look for recent plan files in docs/superpowers/plans/
  • Questions target: why this approach over alternatives, ordering of steps, dependencies between phases, risks

If ambiguous, ask the user which artifact to quiz on before proceeding.

Step 2: Generate 5–7 questions

Read the artifact carefully. Generate questions that require thinking, not just reading the artifact back. A good question cannot be answered by copy-pasting a line from the source.

For code diffs:

  • Why was this approach chosen over a simpler/different one?
  • What breaks if this line/block is removed?
  • What happens with null, empty, or unexpected inputs?
  • What does this migration change for existing data?
  • What other parts of the system does this affect?

For specs:

  • Why is [design decision X] made this way rather than [obvious alternative]?
  • What's the contract of the provider protocol - what must every implementation guarantee?
  • What's out of scope, and why?
  • What happens if [constraint from spec] is violated?
  • How does [component A] communicate with [component B]?

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.
