REASON 2

Track your weak spots across reading sessions with saved logs.

REASON 3

Study a whitepaper or research paper more actively than just reading it once.

REASON 4

Practice answering open ended questions instead of relying on an AI to summarize for you.

Wtf does this do

read-quiz is a small add-on skill for Claude Code that turns reading into an active quiz instead of passive scrolling. You give it a web link, a PDF, or any block of text, and it breaks the material into chunks, shows you one chunk at a time, and then asks two or three open ended questions about what you just read before moving on. Your answers are graded honestly on a scale of zero to two, and the tool keeps a running score as you go. At the end of a session, or if you choose to stop early, it writes a log file listing your weakest areas so you can revisit them the next day. The project explains that this approach is based on research showing that answering questions about material you just read helps you remember it far better than simply reading it again, and that letting an AI answer questions for you, rather than answering them yourself, can actually make your understanding worse. Installing it is a single command that downloads the skill file into your local Claude Code skills folder. Once installed, you can start a session by typing a slash command followed by a link, such as pointing it at a PDF whitepaper, or simply asking in plain language to be quizzed on an article you paste in. During a session you can type skip to move past a chunk you already understand, or stop to end early and see your report. The tool sticks to open questions only, with no multiple choice options, and it always explains the material only after you have attempted an answer, never before. It also tries to include at least one deeper why or what if question per chunk rather than only asking you to recall facts. The project has no listed stars yet and does not specify a programming language, since it is a Claude Code skill rather than a standalone application.
