Generate Exercises

Generate a batch of exercises for a Danish grammar topic or vocabulary set, following DanskPrep's exercise type specifications and quality standards.

Reference: Read .claude/references/danish-content.md first — it covers grammatical accuracy rules, exam scope, and exercise quality standards.

Instructions

The user will specify a grammar topic or vocabulary list. Follow these steps:

1. Identify scope — Ask for (or infer from context):

   • Grammar topic (e.g., "Omvendt Ordstilling", "Verber og Tider")
   • Exercise types requested (default: cloze, type_answer, multiple_choice, word_order)
   • Module level (default: 2)
   • Number of exercises per type (default: 5)

2. Generate exercises in this JSON format matching the exercises table schema:

{
  "exercise_type": "cloze",
  "question": "Han ___ (spise) morgenmad hver dag.",
  "correct_answer": "spiser",
  "alternatives": null,
  "hint": "present tense of spise",
  "explanation": "In main clauses, the verb takes present tense ending -er: spiser.",
  "module_level": 2,
  "difficulty": 1
}

3. Exercise type rules:

   • type_answer: Danish prompt → user types English (or vice versa). Single word or short phrase.
   • cloze: Sentence with one ___ blank. Include verb in parentheses for conjugation cloze, or leave bare for word choice cloze.
   • multiple_choice: Include exactly 3 plausible alternatives (wrong answers). Distractors must be grammatically similar to the correct answer.
   • word_order: question is a scrambled list of words separated by /. correct_answer is the correct sentence.
   • error_correction: question contains a sentence with one grammatical error. correct_answer is the fixed sentence.

4. Content standards:

   • Use everyday Danish vocabulary (Module 2 level). Avoid obscure words.
   • Sentences must be grammatically correct except in error_correction type.
   • Every exercise must have a non-empty explanation that teaches the rule, not just states the answer.
   • Difficulty 1 = single form/word, 2 = short phrase, 3 = full clause transformation.
   • Distribute difficulty: 40% easy, 40% medium, 20% hard.

5. Output a JSON array ready to insert into src/data/seed/exercises-module2.json. After generating, ask if the user wants to run the seed script or review individual items.
