Bloom's Quiz Builder — Claude Skill

A Claude Skill that helps teachers generate rigorous, Bloom's Taxonomy-aligned comprehension questions from educational materials.

Upload a document, article, chapter, or reading passage. The skill guides the teacher through identifying testable themes, selecting question types, and building a validated question set across all six Bloom's Taxonomy levels.

I built this after seeing strong usage of my custom GPT, BloomGPT, which has been used more than 1,000 times.

Product idea

Teachers do not just need more questions. They need better questions: questions that are aligned to learning goals, grounded in the source material, varied by cognitive demand, and easy to review before using with students.

This skill treats quiz generation as a structured instructional design workflow instead of a one-shot prompt.

What it does

1. Reads the material — upload or paste educational content.
2. Identifies testable themes — with rationale for why each theme can support assessment.
3. Prompts teacher preferences — theme, tone, question type, grade level, and constraints.
4. Builds one question per Bloom's level — with validation and teacher approval before moving on.
5. Exports a complete JSON question set — ready for editing, LMS import, or further review.
