A challenge or questions from your own note

Ask the agent#

Open Space AI, attach the repository and write what you need:

• «Make a drill from notes/git.md» — 8–12 questions of different kinds based on the note: choice, order, pairs, gaps, short answer, a number if the note has numbers, and a few cards for terms. The questions go next to the note, into a .challenge folder, as one stage. Then they come back on a schedule, see Train.
• «Make a challenge from notes/git.md» — 4–7 stages: an introductory theory stage, hands-on tasks — a summary, an analysis, a calculation, a table, a plan or Python code with tests — and comprehension questions at the end. From there it works like any challenge, see Challenges.

You do not need to know the path: the agent finds the note by its description. An external agent over MCP works the same way.

From several notes#

Questions and a challenge are built not only from the note itself but also from the notes it links to. Make a table-of-contents note with links to the files you need — [Series](series.md), [Integrals](../common/integrals.md) — and ask to build from it: the material is collected from all of them.

• Links to .md files of the same repository, written relative to the note, are used.
• One level: links inside the added notes are not followed.
• No more than 10 linked notes and no more than 40,000 characters in total — the rest is dropped.
• The challenge folder appears next to the table-of-contents note.

Together with the linked notes there must be at least a few paragraphs of material, otherwise there is nothing to build from.

While it is being built#

A Training is being built card appears in the feed — it leads to the repository's Learn tab with a «Building — this takes a minute or two…» bar. When it is ready, the drill or the challenge opens from there. You can close the page — the job continues and shows in Processes as «Questions from a note» or «Challenge from a note».

If it fails — «Could not build it. Try again later.» — ask the agent again: a failed attempt leaves no files, and a retry starts from scratch. The agent refuses at once, without generating, when:

• the email is not confirmed;
• the SKILLOK model allowance of your plan is used up — pick another model or wait, see The SKILLOK allowance;
• too many jobs are already running — wait until they finish;
• the note already has a .challenge folder next to it — open it, or delete it to build again;
• there is too little material — even with the linked notes;
• «Learn» or AI is off in the repository, or the agent is allowed less than everything.

Where the files are#

When it is ready, a folder appears next to the note: for notes/git.md it is notes/git.challenge/. Its challenge.md has source: ../git.md — on the challenge page that is the «The material it was made from» link. One commit, under your name.

After that the note page gets buttons:

• on the note — Train and Open the challenge;
• on a stage file stages/…md — Open the stage: the stage on the Learn tab;
• on challenge.md — Open the challenge.

What is checked before you see it#

• The files go through the same format check as hand-written ones. A question that does not parse is dropped instead of breaking the challenge. If a drill ends up with fewer than three questions or the built challenge fails the check, the generation counts as failed and commits nothing.
• Tests of code stages run twice: they must pass on the reference solution and fail on the starter. The reference solution does not go into the repository.
• If the tests fail this check, the test check is removed from the stage. The stage keeps the file check and a self-check item «The solution works on the examples from the task», and the stage text says that the auto-tests did not pass the check and the solution has to be verified by hand.

Edit#

These are ordinary files of your repository: a question can be rewritten, a stage deleted or added, a check changed. The format — Challenge format. Every question has an id in curly braces in its heading — the review schedule lives by it, so you can edit the question text but better leave the id alone.

What is visible about taking it — Progress.
