pseudocode-to-specification
Analyzes pseudocode, algorithms, or code snippets to extract and document functional requirements and business specifications. Produces functional specifications, business logic documentation, data requirements, and workflow specifications focused exclusively on WHAT the system does, not HOW it's implemented. Use when analyzing pseudocode for business logic, extracting functional requirements from algorithms, documenting business behavior from code, reverse engineering functional specifications, or when users mention "pseudocode to spec", "extract requirements", "business logic documentation",
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill pseudocode-to-specification-dauquangthanh-hanoi-rainbow-283beeee --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.
# Pseudocode to Specification Extract functional requirements and business specifications from pseudocode, algorithms, or code snippets. ## Core Workflow ## 1. Analyze Pseudocode Parse structure, control flow, and identify: - Inputs, outputs, and data transformations - Variables, constants, and data structures - Algorithms and logic patterns - Assumptions and implicit requirements Ask for clarification on: - Ambiguous variable names or operations - Missing context about data sources/destinations - Unclear business rules or constraints - Undefined error handling or edge cases ### 2. Extract Functional Requirements Document core business functionality as requirements: ``` FR-001: [Function Name] Business Purpose: [Why this function exists] Description: System shall [action] when [condition] Inputs: [business data, parameters, context] Processing Logic: [business rules and decision steps] Outputs: [business results, side effects] Business Rules: [constraints, validations, calculations] Preconditions: [required business state] Postconditions: [resulting business state] ``` For detailed requirement patterns: [requirements-patterns.md](references/requirements-patterns.md) ### 3.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill pseudocode-to-specification-dauquangthanh-hanoi-rainbow-283beeee --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.
