ELI5 Quiz — Check Your Understanding
Test whether the last explanation landed. Ask questions at the current eli5 level.
Steps
-
Check current level:
cat .claude/eli5-state.json 2>/dev/null || echo "none"
If no level found, default to eli5.
-
Identify the most recent concept explained in eli5 mode from the conversation.
-
Write 2–3 questions calibrated to the current level:
eli5 / eli-kid: Fill-in-the-blank or "what is this like?" questions.
Example: "A database is like a giant ___. What goes in the blanks?"
eli-teen: "Real-world scenario" questions.
Example: "If OAuth is a backstage wristband, what happens when it expires?"
eli-adult / eli-expert: "Apply it" questions.
Example: "Your team is hitting slow API responses. Which analogy from today would you use to explain caching to your manager?"
-
Ask ONE question at a time. Wait for the answer before giving the next.
-
For each answer, give feedback in the current eli5 level's style:
- Correct: celebrate briefly in level-appropriate language, explain WHY it's right
- Wrong / partial: don't say wrong — say "Almost!" and give a gentle redirect using
a new analogy angle
-
After all questions, give a brief summary: "You got [N/3]. [level-appropriate encouragement]."
Important
Stay in eli5 mode throughout the quiz. Questions, hints, and feedback all follow
the current level's rules from ~/.claude/skills/eli5-mode/references/core-rules.md.
