The PrepSPSC PYQ skill serves as a specialized interface for the PrepSPSC API, providing seamless access to over 7,400 previous year questions (PYQs) from the Sikkim Public Service Commission (SPSC). It leverages semantic search technology to help students and aspirants retrieve high-quality study material, generate mock tests, and practice for 64 distinct exam patterns including Civil Services, Police, and Medical sectors. Beyond simple retrieval, the skill provides essential metadata such as cognitive levels, difficulty ratings, and detailed explanations for every question, facilitating an active learning loop for competitive exam preparation.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/himyeticapital/prepspsc-pyq

Example Prompts

1. "Generate a 10-question mock test for Indian Polity focusing on the Constitution, and include difficulty level analysis."
2. "Search for previous year questions related to biodiversity and environment in Sikkim."
3. "Show me the available subjects in the database and tell me how many questions exist for General English."

Tips & Limitations

• Threshold Tuning: When searching, the 'threshold' parameter can be adjusted between 0 and 1; use higher values (e.g., 0.7) for stricter, more relevant matches, and lower values for broader discovery.
• API Limits: Always monitor your response headers to ensure you remain within the rate limits provided by your subscription tier at the developer portal.
• Contextual Accuracy: While the AI provides answers and explanations, always cross-reference with official textbooks for high-stakes examinations, as question sources may occasionally be updated.
