Its twin-generation rules force pattern-invariant variants with gated answer reveals, so a plain assistant asked the same thing would just print a twin problem plus the answer immediately; but the skill only produces anything once /ingest and /analyze (separate sibling skills in the same plugin) have already populated course-index/patterns.md and coverage.md for a specific course.

What Exam Drill does
Drills a math/physics course by generating twin problem variants, strategy-only blind drills, multi-pattern chain problems, and HW-density exam-tier coverage maps. Reads course-index/patterns.md and coverage.md produced by sibling skills, and gates answer reveals until the user submits a strategy or a scanned PDF. Triggers on requests like "give me a twin of this problem" or "show the exam coverage map", not on grading or ingestion requests, which route to separate sibling skills.

Commands — how to trigger Exam Drill
-
/exam-drillGenerates exam-tier twin/blind/chain drills from a course you've already ingested and analyzed.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Give me a twin variant of this physics problem to practice -
Show me the exam coverage map for what I still need to drill -
Quiz me with a blind strategy-only drill on this calc problem
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Exam Drill skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from OPTIMETA/PAIDEIA. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Exam Drill work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Its twin-generation rules force pattern-invariant variants with gated answer reveals, so a plain assistant asked the same thing would just print a twin problem plus the answer immediately; but the skill only produces anything once /ingest and /analyze (separate sibling skills in the same plugin) have already populated course-index/patterns.md and coverage.md for a specific course.
- What is the Exam Drill SkillProof Score?
- 9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Exam Drill?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Exam Drill with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
