Ran a real baseline-vs-skill test scaffolding an OLS-assumptions problem set: the unguided baseline dumped problems and answers into one file and just asserted the R snippet's output; following the skill split student/solution files, seeded the simulated data, and — with no R interpreter available — honestly labeled the code solution 'DRAFTED — NOT RUN' instead of faking a result.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Scaffold Exercises does

Generates a two-file graded assignment — a clean student problem set and a separate solution key with worked answers and short 'why this matters' notes — mixing analytical, empirical, and coding problem types at a chosen difficulty. Triggers on requests like 'make a problem set on X', 'scaffold exercises for this lecture', or 'build a graded assignment on Y'; it explicitly does not grade submissions, run timed exams, or auto-invoke sibling skills.

How to install Scaffold Exercises

git clone https://github.com/pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow
cd claude-code-my-workflow
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r .claude/skills/scaffold-exercises ~/.claude/skills/scaffold-exercises

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Scaffold Exercises

  • /scaffold-exercises Scaffolds a graded problem set plus a separate, deterministic solution key.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Make a problem set on instrumental variables with a separate solution key
  • Scaffold exercises for this lecture on consumer theory, intro difficulty
  • Build a graded assignment on OLS assumptions mixing coding and analytical problems

Frequently asked questions

Is the Scaffold Exercises skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Scaffold Exercises work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Ran a real baseline-vs-skill test scaffolding an OLS-assumptions problem set: the unguided baseline dumped problems and answers into one file and just asserted the R snippet's output; following the skill split student/solution files, seeded the simulated data, and — with no R interpreter available — honestly labeled the code solution 'DRAFTED — NOT RUN' instead of faking a result.
What is the Scaffold Exercises SkillProof Score?
9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
How do I install Scaffold Exercises?
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 Scaffold Exercises 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.
