What it does

A repository of study material for the Chinese senior system architect exam with a root `SKILL.md` that turns the agent into a tutor. The agent tracks what you learned, where you make mistakes and when to revise, and picks the next study hour with all three exam papers in mind. A session runs as diagnosis, mini-lecture, practice, error analysis, variations and spaced repetition. The personal profile, mistakes and essay drafts sit in the git-ignored `.study/` directory and never reach the public repository. A mock exam of 75 questions and 150 minutes runs on the local server `python3 scripts/serve.py`.

Who it is for. Candidates for the senior system architect exam (软考) who study with Codex or Claude Code and want a topic-frequency plan.

Good fit when

  • Time before the exam is short and the plan should start from the most frequent topics of past years.
  • After a mock paper the causes of mistakes need analysis and similar tasks need generating.
  • An essay is in preparation and drafts and progress must stay private.
  • A browser mock exam with a 150-minute timer is needed.

Not a fit when

  • You are preparing for an exam in another country or another specialty.
  • The goal is a top score, while the skill aims at a passing result.
  • You need a tutor in Russian or English, while the materials and prompts are in Chinese.

Example request

Start the tutoring: I only want to pass, six weeks remain. Find my weak topics and give me today's plan.

Limitations

Materials, prompts and explanations are in Chinese, so a Russian or English speaker must ask the agent to translate. Some past questions are fetched by `fetch_corpus.py` from open sources with mixed licenses and are meant for personal study only. The mock exam page only collects answers and does not call a model. The repository declares no license. The last commit is dated October 2026.

How to disable. Delete the cloned folder or skill directory and clear `.study/` separately if you do not want to keep personal progress.

FAQ

How do I start a session?

Open the cloned repository in the agent and say the tutor start phrase from the README. The agent creates a profile first and runs a diagnosis.

Where is progress stored?

In the `.study/` directory, which is excluded from git. It stays on your computer and does not reach the shared repository.

How do I run the mock exam?

Run `python3 scripts/serve.py` and open `http://localhost:8420`. The page runs 75 questions in 150 minutes and scores them without a model.

How do I add past papers?

Run `python3 scripts/fetch_corpus.py --data-dir .study`, then `python3 scripts/import_paper.py --data-dir .study --all`. The result stays in the private directory.

Which agents does it work with?

The README names Codex, Claude Code, Qwen Code and WorkBuddy, and gives a generic starter prompt in `tutor/prompts/generic-chat.md` for others.
