Build and query suffix arrays and related structures

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 Suffix Structure Builder 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/suffix-structure-builder/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Purpose

Build suffix arrays, suffix trees, and related structures with efficient construction algorithms and common query implementations.

Capabilities

  • Suffix array construction (SA-IS, DC3)
  • LCP array construction
  • Suffix tree construction
  • Suffix automaton construction
  • Query implementations for each structure
  • Sparse table for LCP queries

Target Processes

  • trie-suffix-structures
  • pattern-matching-algorithms
  • string-processing

Suffix Structures

Suffix Array

  • O(n log n) or O(n) construction
  • Combined with LCP for powerful queries
  • Pattern matching in O(m log n)

LCP Array

  • Kasai's algorithm O(n)
  • Range minimum queries for LCA
  • Distinct substring counting

Suffix Tree

  • Ukkonen's algorithm O(n)
  • More complex but powerful
  • Direct pattern matching O(m)

Suffix Automaton

  • O(n) construction
  • Smallest automaton for all substrings
  • Powerful for counting problems
