extract-algorithm
Parse and document algorithm pseudocode from research papers. Use when preparing for implementation.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill extract-algorithm-homericintelligence-projectodyssey-2 --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Extract Algorithm Identify, document, and translate algorithms from research papers into structured pseudocode for implementation planning. ## When to Use - Converting paper algorithms to code - Understanding computational complexity - Planning implementation steps - Documenting algorithm variations ## Quick Reference ```bash # Extract text from PDF focusing on algorithms pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -A 20 -i "algorithm\|pseudocode" | head -50 # Convert pseudo-code to structured documentation # Use cleaner formatting with numbered steps ``` ## Workflow 1. **Locate algorithm**: Find algorithm description, pseudocode, or flowchart in paper 2. **Document steps**: Extract numbered steps or pseudocode from paper 3. **Identify inputs/outputs**: List parameters, preconditions, postconditions 4. **Note special cases**: Document edge cases and conditional logic 5. **Translate to implementation plan**: Convert to implementation checklist ## Output Format Algorithm documentation: - Algorithm name and source reference - Inputs (parameters, data types, constraints) - Outputs (return values, side effects) - Pseudocode or step-by-step description - Complexity analysis (time and space) - Special

What does the extract-algorithm skill do?
Parse and document algorithm pseudocode from research papers. Use when preparing for implementation.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill extract-algorithm-homericintelligence-projectodyssey-2 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
