pseudocode-to-python-code
Translates pseudocode into idiomatic Python, choosing the right standard-library structures and leveraging Python idioms that pseudocode doesn't express. Use when implementing an algorithm from a paper or spec, when the user hands you pseudocode and wants Python, or when realizing a verified-pseudocode artifact.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is a well-crafted skill description that excels across all dimensions. It clearly defines a specific capability (pseudocode to Python translation), uses natural trigger terms users would actually say, includes an explicit 'Use when...' clause with multiple scenarios, and carves out a distinct niche that won't conflict with general coding skills.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists specific concrete actions: 'Translates pseudocode into idiomatic Python', 'choosing the right standard-library structures', 'leveraging Python idioms'. These are clear, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what ('Translates pseudocode into idiomatic Python...') and when ('Use when implementing an algorithm from a paper or spec, when the user hands you pseudocode and wants Python, or when realizing a verified-pseudocode artifact'). Explicit 'Use when...' clause present. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'pseudocode', 'Python', 'algorithm', 'paper', 'spec', 'verified-pseudocode artifact'. Good coverage of terms a user would naturally use when needing this skill. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Clear niche focused specifically on pseudocode-to-Python translation. Distinct triggers like 'pseudocode', 'algorithm from a paper', and 'verified-pseudocode artifact' make it unlikely to conflict with general Python coding skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is an excellent skill that demonstrates mastery of the format. It's highly actionable with concrete stdlib mappings, includes a complete worked example with annotations, and efficiently covers Python-specific pitfalls without explaining concepts Claude already knows. The output format template ensures consistent, structured results.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Extremely efficient use of tokens. Tables compress information well, no explanation of basic Python concepts, and every section adds value Claude wouldn't already know (stdlib mappings, index-base trap, specific pitfalls). | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable code with a complete worked example (topological sort), specific stdlib mappings in table form, and copy-paste ready patterns. The 'Do not' section gives concrete anti-patterns with fixes. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Clear output format template at the end provides explicit structure. The worked example demonstrates the complete translation workflow with annotations explaining each Python-specific choice. For a translation skill, this is appropriately sequenced. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Well-organized with clear sections (primitives table, decisions table, worked example, traps, anti-patterns, output format). References the related `pseudocode-to-java-code` skill for the general framework, keeping this skill Python-specific. Content is appropriately scoped. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
