What it does

Assessment Builder is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Creates assessments with varied question types (MCQ, code-completion, debugging, projects) aligned to learning objectives with meaningful distractors based on common misconceptions. Activate when educators design quizzes, exams, or tests measuring understanding; need questions at appropriate cognitive levels (Bloom's taxonomy); want balanced cognitive distribution (60%+ non-recall); or require rubrics for open-ended questions. Generates MCQs with diagnostic distractors, code-writing prompts, debugging challenges…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts (for example `reference/blooms-assessment-alignment.md`, `reference/distractor-design.md` and `reference/question-types.md`).

It sits in Education, covering Quizzes and assessments, Lesson planning and Debugging. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Quizzes and assessments
  • Tasks that involve Lesson planning
  • Tasks that involve Debugging

Example prompts

  • “Use the assessment-builder skill to create assessments with varied question types (MCQ, code-completion, debugging, projects) aligned to learning…”
  • “/assessment-builder”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Clarify Assessment Goals
  2. Load Question Type Reference
  3. Load Bloom's Assessment Alignment
  4. Design Varied Question Set
  5. Design MCQ Distractors
  6. Create Rubrics for Open-Ended Questions
  7. Validate Cognitive Distribution
  8. Refine Based on Validation
  9. Add Answer Key and Explanations
  10. Package Complete Assessment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Assessment Builder loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,157 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~149
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,157 words (~4,326 tokens).

“The assessment-builder skill helps educators create comprehensive, balanced assessments that measure conceptual understanding (not just memorization). This skill generates varied question types, designs meaningful distractors for MCQs, aligns questions with Bloom's taxonomy levels, and provides rubrics for open-ended questions.”
