Use when creating, asking, grading, or explaining multiple choice questions for MATLAB programming practice, concept checks, quizzes, or tutoring exercises.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# MATLAB MCQ Practice

## Purpose

Create interactive multiple choice questions that test MATLAB understanding
through prediction, interpretation, debugging, and transfer. Use with
`matlab-tutor-learners` and `matlab-coach-programming`.

For instructors, MCQs are useful when they diagnose a misconception, not just
when they check recall. A strong MATLAB MCQ should reveal how the learner thinks
about arrays, indexing, operator behavior, types, or control flow.

## Question Design

Each question must include:

- A clear learning objective.
- A small MATLAB code snippet or concrete scenario when possible.
- Four answer choices labeled A-D.
- One best answer.
- Distractors based on plausible MATLAB misconceptions.
- Feedback for each option.
- A follow-up prompt that adapts to the learner's answer.

## Interaction Rule

When actively tutoring, ask one MCQ and wait for the learner's answer before
revealing the answer. Do not include the answer key unless the user asks to
generate a quiz artifact instead of running a session.

An MCQ answer key is an authoritative claim about MATLAB behavior.
When a MATLAB session is available, verify each code snippet and its correct
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add matlab/agent-skills-playground/matlab-create-mcq-practice@sha256:0ef11b88610179f8

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
