pseudocode-extractorExtract programming-language-agnostic pseudocode from source code in any language, preserving control flow and logical structure while filtering out implementation details.
Pseudocode Extractor is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. Extract programming-language-agnostic pseudocode from source code in any language, preserving control flow and logical structure while filtering out implementation details. Use when the user asks to convert code to pseudocode, abstract code logic, understand code structure without syntax, create language-independent documentation, or analyze algorithmic flow without language-specific details.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: A curated list of 180+ useful Claude Skills for Software Engineering and resources for customizing AI for SE workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f38503. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python, javascript and java).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Pseudocode Extractor loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 401 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/pseudocode-extractor/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Transform source code from any programming language into clear, language-agnostic pseudocode that captures the essential logic and control flow while removing syntax-specific details.
First, identify the programming language and understand the code structure:
Focus on WHAT the code does, not HOW it's implemented:
Preserve:
Filter out:
Use clear, readable pseudocode conventions:
Structure:
FUNCTION function_name(parameters)
// High-level description of what function does
IF condition THEN
action
ELSE IF another_condition THEN
another_action
ELSE
default_action
END IF
FOR EACH item IN collection DO
process item
END FOR
WHILE condition DO
action
END WHILE
RETURN result
END FUNCTIONConventions:
Structure the pseudocode to match the original code organization:
For single functions:
For classes:
For modules/files:
Input (Python):
def calculate_discount(price, customer_type):
if customer_type == "premium":
discount = 0.20
elif customer_type == "regular":
discount = 0.10
else:
discount = 0.05
final_price = price * (1 - discount)
return round(final_price, 2)Output (Pseudocode):
FUNCTION calculate_discount(price, customer_type)
// Calculate final price after applying customer-specific discount
IF customer_type is "premium" THEN
discount ← 20%
ELSE IF customer_type is "regular" THEN
discount ← 10%
ELSE
discount ← 5%
END IF
final_price ← price × (1 - discount)
RETURN final_price rounded to 2 decimals
END FUNCTIONInput (JavaScript):
function filterActiveUsers(users) {
const activeUsers = [];
for (let i = 0; i < users.length; i++) {
if (users[i].lastLogin !== null &&
users[i].status === 'active') {
activeUsers.push({
id: users[i].id,
name: users[i].name
});
}
}
return activeUsers;
}Output (Pseudocode):
FUNCTION filter_active_users(users)
// Extract active users who have logged in at least once
active_users ← empty list
FOR EACH user IN users DO

Extract programming-language-agnostic pseudocode from source code in any language, preserving control flow and logical structure while filtering out implementation details. Pseudocode Extractor is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. Extract programming-language-agnostic pseudocode from source code in any language, preserving control flow and logical structure while filtering out implementation details.
Pseudocode Extractor fits situations like: the user asks to convert code to pseudocode; abstract code logic; understand code structure without syntax; create language-independent documentation.
Run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill pseudocode-extractor -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pseudocode-extractor in ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE) into .claude/skills/pseudocode-extractor in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill pseudocode-extractor -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pseudocode-extractor in ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE) into .agents/skills/pseudocode-extractor in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill pseudocode-extractor -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pseudocode-extractor, .gemini/skills/pseudocode-extractor, .github/skills/pseudocode-extractor and .opencode/skills/pseudocode-extractor in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Pseudocode Extractor is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Pseudocode Extractor is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Pseudocode Extractor: Extract (alirezarezvani/claude-skills, 28k stars), Agent Pseudocode (ruvnet/ruflo, 74k stars), Brand Extract (nexu-io/open-design, 100k stars) and Design Extract (nexu-io/open-design, 100k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
