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-exercisesScaffolds a graded problem set plus a separate, deterministic solution key.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

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.
