Generate practice tests, flashcards, study schedules, and timed simulations from any study material.
README (SKILL.md)
What This Skill Does
Complete exam preparation from your content:
- Practice tests — Multiple choice, short answer, essay questions
- Flashcards — Key concepts for spaced repetition, Anki-exportable
- Simulations — Timed mock exams matching real format
- Gap analysis — Identify weak areas, prioritize weak topics
- Study schedules — Realistic calendars based on exam date and availability
- Summaries — Condense chapters to 1-2 pages of exam-relevant content
- Concept maps — Visualize how topics connect
- Quick review sheets — Last-minute "cheat sheets" for 30-min pre-exam review
Works for: university exams, certifications (AWS, PMP, etc.), standardized tests, professional licensing.

Core Workflow
1. Provide Source Material
User shares: notes, textbook chapters, slides, documentation, past exams.
2. Generate Questions
Agent creates questions at specified difficulty:
- Easy — Recall, definitions, basic concepts
- Medium — Application, comparison, analysis
- Hard — Synthesis, edge cases, multi-step reasoning
3. Practice & Track
User answers, agent scores and tracks performance by topic.
4. Focus Weak Areas
Agent identifies gaps, generates targeted practice.
Question Types
| Type | Format | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple choice | 4 options, 1 correct | Quick assessment, certifications |
| Multiple select | N options, M correct | Complex topics |
| True/False | Statement + T/F | Fast review |
| Short answer | 1-3 sentences | Definitions, explanations |
| Fill blank | Sentence with ___ | Terminology |
| Matching | Connect pairs | Relationships |
| Essay | Open response | Deep understanding |
Generating Questions
From notes:
User: "Generate 10 questions from these AWS S3 notes"
Agent: Creates mix of types, varying difficulty
By topic:
User: "5 hard questions on database normalization"
Agent: Generates challenging application questions
Exam style:
User: "Make questions like the PMP exam"
Agent: Matches official format, question style, difficulty
Practice Session
📝 Practice: AWS S3 (10 questions)
Q1/10 [Medium]
Which S3 storage class has the lowest cost for infrequently accessed data with millisecond retrieval?
A) S3 Standard
B) S3 Intelligent-Tiering
C) S3 Standard-IA ✓
D) S3 Glacier
Your answer: _
After answer:
✅ Correct!
S3 Standard-IA is designed for infrequently accessed data
but requires rapid access when needed. Glacier has lower
cost but retrieval takes minutes to hours.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk: it asks you to provide study materials and stores generated questions/flashcards locally. Before installing or using it, consider: (1) Don’t upload private or copyrighted exam content you’re not allowed to share. (2) Verify any requests to modify system settings (e.g., adding cron jobs) — make changes yourself if you prefer. (3) Inspect or back up the ~/exams/ folder if you care about persistence or privacy. (4) If the skill later asks for network access or credentials, treat that as unexpected and review carefully. If you want maximum safety, run interactions manually (copy/paste materials) rather than granting automated system-write/scheduling permissions.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: exam
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle describes a legitimate exam preparation tool. However, the `SKILL.md` file mentions the capability to set study reminders using `cron` (e.g., "Remind me to study at 7pm daily" (uses cron)). While intended for a benign purpose, the ability to interact with `cron` represents a significant security risk. If the OpenClaw agent's implementation for creating cron jobs is vulnerable to shell injection or lacks proper input sanitization, this feature could be exploited to achieve arbitrary command execution (RCE) on the host system. There is no explicit evidence of malicious intent within the bundle itself, such as data exfiltration or unauthorized backdoor installation, but the presence of this risky capability warrants a 'suspicious' classification due to the potential for exploitation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the contents: the skill generates questions, flashcards, simulations, schedules and tracks performance. It does not request unrelated credentials, binaries, or access to external services.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions ask the agent to accept user-provided study material and to create and manage local files (~/exams/). This is appropriate for the purpose. Note: the docs mention setting reminders using cron — that implies modifying system scheduling if implemented, so any actual agent action that edits crontab should be made explicit and require user confirmation.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. Nothing will be written to disk by an installer; risk from install mechanism is minimal.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. Storage is limited to a user home directory tree as described, which is proportional to the stated functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (normal). The skill describes storing data under ~/exams/ which is reasonable. Because the skill could be invoked autonomously by the agent (platform default), users should be aware it might write local files or prompt for scheduling changes — those actions should require explicit consent.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install exam - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/exam - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
