Does it support custom domains?

While the skill includes a curated problem bank, you can request specific domains or architectural patterns, and the skill will generate a structured, multi-level challenge based on your request.

Which testing frameworks are supported?

This skill currently generates projects configured for Vitest, the modern Vite-native testing framework, to ensure fast execution and high compatibility with TypeScript.

What is a progressive coding assessment?

It is a coding challenge where requirements are revealed level-by-level, forcing the developer to build extensible code that can adapt to new features without breaking previous logic.

Can I stop and resume a session later?

Yes, the skill maintains a session state in your local directory. If you exit Claude and return later, simply using a trigger like 'status' or 'resume' will pick up exactly where you left off.

How does the skill track my performance?

The skill records timestamps for when you start and finish each level in a local .session.json file, comparing your time against pre-defined target benchmarks for that specific problem.

Learning & Documentation

Conducts interactive, multi-level coding simulations and technical interview practice directly within your terminal environment.

This skill transforms Claude into a professional technical assessment proctor, specifically modeled after the Industry Coding Assessment (ICA) format. It guides developers through four progressive levels of TypeScript implementation, revealing requirements incrementally to test both architectural foresight and coding speed. The skill manages the entire lifecycle of a practice session—from scaffolding the project with Vitest and TypeScript to tracking time per level and verifying test results before advancing. It is an essential tool for developers preparing for high-stakes technical interviews or looking to sharpen their test-driven development skills in a realistic, time-constrained environment.
