exam-forecast

exam-forecast is a skill for Claude Code from uk-agents/uk-legal-plugins. It costs 73 tokens per session (2,301 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A study aid that examines a lecturer's past exams to find recurring topics, question styles, and common traps. It combines those patterns with the current syllabus to suggest likely areas of emphasis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review past exam papers, compare what stays consistent or changes, and create a dated revision forecast for a law module.
Why use it?
It helps students decide what to revise when past exams contain useful patterns but do not provide a certain prediction of the next paper.

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

exam-forecast 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 8d 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.

/law-student-uk:exam-forecast

  1. Load ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/law-student-uk/CLAUDE.md → module, lecturer, exam format, syllabus.
  2. Apply the workflow below.
  3. Intake past exams (PDF, paste, or paths). Confirm sample size.
  4. Analyse each past exam: format, subject coverage, question style, fact-pattern density, recurring traps.
  5. Cross-exam pattern analysis — what's stable, what varies.
  6. Combine with current syllabus to produce forecast: subject weights, format, hobby horses, study emphasis.
  7. Write ~/.claude/plugins/config/uk-legal-plugins/law-student-uk/exam-forecasts/[module]/forecast-[YYYY-MM-DD].md. Framed as weighting heuristic, not prediction.

Purpose

Every lecturer's exam has fingerprints. The same hypo structures recur. The same traps come back. The same subject ratios repeat. Students who have prior exams study smarter; students who don't, study harder. This skill analyses the prior exams you have and surfaces the patterns.

Not magic. A forecast, not a prediction. The skill cannot tell you what's on the exam — it can tell you what's been on past exams and what's likely to recur based on syllabus coverage.

UK exam context

UK law school exams typically fall into three main types:

  • Problem questions (hypos): "Advise A" / "Discuss the liability of X" — apply law to facts using IRAC/CILAC structure.
  • Essay questions: "Critically evaluate..." / "To what extent..." — analytical or normative discussion of doctrine or policy.
  • Mixed format: a combination of problem questions and essays, often with element of choice.
  • SQE1-style: multiple-choice, single-best-answer (if module is SQE1 prep).
  • Open book vs. closed book: note the format — closed-book exams reward rule-recall; open-book exams reward issue-spotting and application.

The forecast should identify which format type the lecturer has historically used.

Confidence discipline

  • Pattern analysis (what subjects appeared, how many questions per topic, how often policy vs. rule-application) — confident where the exams are clearly in front of me.
  • Inference about likely emphasis on upcoming exam — [UNCERTAIN] is the default; these are forecasts, not certainties. Explicitly frame as "based on the [N] past exams you shared, [topic] appeared in [M]. Your upcoming exam may emphasise it, or the lecturer may rotate — use this as a weighting for review time, not a prediction."
  • If only 1-2 past exams are available, say so explicitly — any pattern inferred from 1 exam is noise.
  • If the lecturer is new (no past exams available), skill can't forecast. Say so; fall back to syllabus-based "these are the subjects covered" only.

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.
