Algorithm Visualizer Skill

SkillDev tools

Generate visual representations of algorithm execution

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the Algorithm Visualizer Skill skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/specializations/algorithms-optimization/skills/algorithm-visualizer/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Purpose

Generate visual representations of algorithm execution to aid understanding, debugging, and explanation of algorithmic concepts.

Capabilities

  • Step-by-step execution visualization
  • Data structure state visualization
  • Graph algorithm animation
  • DP table visualization
  • Generate animated GIFs/videos
  • Interactive visualization generation
  • Tree and array state rendering

Target Processes

  • algorithm-implementation
  • dp-pattern-matching
  • graph-traversal
  • interview-problem-explanation

Visualization Types

  1. Array Operations: Sorting, searching, two-pointer techniques
  2. Tree Structures: Binary trees, BST operations, tree traversals
  3. Graph Algorithms: BFS, DFS, shortest paths, MST
  4. DP Tables: State transitions, optimal substructure
  5. Data Structures: Stack, queue, heap operations

Input Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "algorithm": { "type": "string" },
    "input": { "type": "object" },
    "format": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["ascii", "svg", "gif", "html"]
    },
    "steps": { "type": "boolean", "default": true }
  },
  "required": ["algorithm", "input"]
}

Output Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "success": { "type": "boolean" },
    "visualization": { "type": "string" },
    "steps": { "type": "array" },
    "format": { "type": "string" }
  },
  "required": ["success"]
}

Integration

Can integrate with visualization libraries like Manim, D3.js, or generate ASCII art for terminal-based visualization.
