At a glance
A skill your agent uses when implementing complex logic, developing functions, or designing algorithms.
- Works in 4 steps: Write Pseudocode Comments → Use Comments as Skeleton → Fill in Actual Code → …

- SKILL.md covers When to Use, Process Steps, Benefits and Exception Handling
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Pseudocode Programming Process is an agent skill from kitchen-engineer42/pdf2skills. Use this skill when implementing complex logic, developing functions, or designing algorithms. The Pseudocode Programming Process (PPP) helps you write better code by first creating a skeleton of high-level pseudocode comments before writing actual implementation code.
Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/PPP-checklist.md`).
It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Convert a book into skills directly callable to Claude Code.
When your agent uses it
- Implementing complex logic
- Developing functions
- Designing algorithms
Example prompts
- “/pseudocode-programming-process”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Write Pseudocode Comments
- Use Comments as Skeleton
- Fill in Actual Code
- Review and Refine
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0d70065. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
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.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Pseudocode Programming Process loads about 516 tokens when it runs, and up to ~798 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 231 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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 231 words (~516 tokens).
“The Pseudocode Programming Process is a development technique that improves code quality and documentation by writing high-level pseudocode comments before implementing actual code.”
