Design algorithms with LaTeX pseudocode and UML diagrams. An agent skill from lingzhi227/agent-research-skills.
- Works in 4 steps: Formalize the Algorithm → Generate LaTeX Pseudocode → Generate UML Diagrams (Mermaid) → …

- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Algorithm Design is an agent skill from lingzhi227/agent-research-skills. Design algorithms with LaTeX pseudocode and UML diagrams. Generate algorithmic environments, Mermaid class/sequence diagrams, and ensure consistency between pseudocode and implementation. Use when formalizing methods for a paper.
Its SKILL.md is about 590 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/algorithm-templates.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. It works with Mermaid and LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: Skills for Claude Code — deep-research: systematic academic literature review.
When your agent uses it
- Formalizing methods for a paper
- Tasks that involve Diagrams
Example prompts
- “/algorithm-design”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Formalize the Algorithm
- Generate LaTeX Pseudocode
- Generate UML Diagrams (Mermaid)
- Verify Consistency
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e6c085. 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 (its code samples are mermaid and latex).
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
Algorithm Design loads about 594 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 155 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 155 words (~594 tokens).
“Formalize methods into algorithm pseudocode and system architecture diagrams.”

Questions about Algorithm Design
What does Algorithm Design do?
Design algorithms with LaTeX pseudocode and UML diagrams. An agent skill from lingzhi227/agent-research-skills. Algorithm Design is an agent skill from lingzhi227/agent-research-skills. Design algorithms with LaTeX pseudocode and UML diagrams.
When should I use Algorithm Design?
Algorithm Design fits situations like: formalizing methods for a paper; tasks that involve Diagrams.
How do I install Algorithm Design in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add lingzhi227/agent-research-skills --skill algorithm-design -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/algorithm-design in lingzhi227/agent-research-skills) into .claude/skills/algorithm-design in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Algorithm Design in Codex?
Run `npx skills add lingzhi227/agent-research-skills --skill algorithm-design -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/algorithm-design in lingzhi227/agent-research-skills) into .agents/skills/algorithm-design in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Algorithm Design in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add lingzhi227/agent-research-skills --skill algorithm-design -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/algorithm-design, .gemini/skills/algorithm-design, .github/skills/algorithm-design and .opencode/skills/algorithm-design in your project.
What does Algorithm Design need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Algorithm Design is instructions for the agent only.
Does Algorithm Design access the network?
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.
Is Algorithm Design safe to install?
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.
What licence does Algorithm Design use?
No licence was found for Algorithm Design or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.
How many tokens does Algorithm Design use?
About 594 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 1.1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
