I’ve been that engineer. </p> <p>It’s an easy trap: the suggestion looks reasonable, the tests pass, and you tab-complete your way to a merge you couldn’t defend in a code review.</p> <p>So instead of trying to will myself into better habits, I built a gate. quiz-me is a Claude Code plugin that stands between you and your commit. </p> <p>Before Claude will help you implement a fix, it quizzes you on the code you’re about to ship — and only lets you proceed once you can show you actually understand it.</p> <p><strong>How it works</strong><br> 1. You ask Claude Code to implement a fix or feature as usual.<br> 2. Before writing the change, quiz-me interrupts with a short multiple-choice quiz about the relevant code — what it does, why it’s structured that way, what could break.<br> 3. You pick an answer.<br> 4. If you get it right, Claude proceeds with the implementation. If you don’t, it explains the gap and quizzes you again — no shortcut to “just give me the code.”</p> <p>The point isn’t to slow you down for its own sake. It’s to make sure that when something breaks in prod six weeks from now, you’re not staring at a diff you don’t recognize.</p> <p><strong>Why I built it</strong><br> I kept seeing the same failure mode on my own team: someone ships an AI-authored fix, it works in the demo, and then it quietly breaks something adjacent because nobody — including the person who “wrote” it — understood the full blast radius. Linters and tests catch a lot. They don’t catch “I don’t actually know why this works.”</p> <p><strong>Try it</strong><br> It’s MIT-licensed and takes two commands to install:<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight shell"><code>/plugin marketplace add schwann2402/quiz-me-skill /plugin <span class="nb">install </span>quiz-me@quiz-me </code></pre> </div> <p>Source: github.com/schwann2402/quiz-me-skill</p> <p>I’d love feedback — especially from anyone who tries it on a real codebase and finds it too strict, too lenient, or just annoying.
