Templates (JSON schema)

Templates: the file format

A template is a plain JSON file anyone can write, check and share. The schema is published at /schema/template.v1.json, so editors such as VS Code can check a file as you type.

{
  "$schema": "https://kaksha.quartifex.com/schema/template.v1.json",
  "format": "kaksha-template",
  "version": 1,
  "id": "our-grade-4-fractions",
  "title": "Fractions check, Grade 4",
  "subject": "Maths",
  "language": "en",
  "kind": "key",
  "items": [
    { "label": "Q1", "domain": "Fractions", "type": "choice", "key": "B", "marks": 1 },
    { "label": "Q2", "domain": "Fractions", "type": "rightwrong", "key": null, "marks": 2 }
  ]
}

kind is "key" for an answer-key test or "rubric" for a rubric.
In a key test, each item has a label, a domain (skill tag), a type ("choice" or "rightwrong"), the key for choice questions ("A" to "D") and whole-number marks.
In a rubric, each item is a criterion with a label, a domain and two to eight levels, each with a score, a label and a descriptor. Scores in a criterion must differ.
id uses lowercase letters, numbers and dashes. example: true marks a file as an example. author and notes are optional.

The three examples that come with the app, clearly marked as examples, not official curricula: primary maths answer key, reading fluency rubric, writing rubric.
