Pseudo-Code Prompting Plugin

Transform vague requirements into crystal-clear pseudo-code specifications and validate them for production readiness.

What It Does

Transform fuzzy requirements like:

"Add OAuth with Google and GitHub"

Into production-ready specifications like:

implement_oauth_authentication(
  providers=["google", "github"],
  token_type="jwt",
  access_token_ttl="15m",
  error_handling={401, 403, 429},
  security={use_pkce: true, secure_cookie: true},
  timeout="5s",
  logging=true
)

Validate across 6 critical dimensions:

• Security (auth, authorization, data protection)
• Completeness (all parameters specified, no vague terms)
• Error Handling (status codes, retry, fallback)
• Data Handling (sources, validation, storage)
• Performance (timeouts, caching, scalability)
• Edge Cases (concurrency, failures, cleanup)

Key Features

✓ 3 Core Commands

• /pseudo-code:transform - Requirements → Production-Ready Pseudo-Code
• /pseudo-code:validate - Validate across 6 critical dimensions
• /pseudo-code:explain_my_project - Generate engaging project documentation

✓ 6-Step Transformation Pipeline

• Detects your tech stack (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java)
• Auto-compresses verbose requirements (70-80% efficient)
• Converts to PROMPTCONVERTER-style pseudo-code
• Validates completeness
• Adds standard production parameters
• Offers cc10x bridge for TDD

✓ Production-Ready Specifications

• Every spec includes timeouts, error handling, logging, security
• Architecture-aware file paths per tech stack
• Explicit parameters (no vague values)
• Comprehensive error code mappings

✓ 6-Dimension Validation

• Checks security, completeness, error handling, data handling, performance, edge cases
• Severity levels: CRITICAL (must fix) / HIGH (should fix) / MEDIUM (nice-to-have)
• Structured reports with recommendations

✓ Engaging Project Explanations (EXPLAIN Files)

• Technical architecture with analogies
• Codebase structure and component connections
• Technology decisions and trade-offs
• Lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid
• Written as engaging essays, not boring documentation
• Perfect for team onboarding and knowledge preservation

✓ Tech Stack Detection

• Node.js/Express/Next.js → src/app/api/, src/routes/
• Python/Django/FastAPI → app/views.py, app/models.py
• Go → internal/handlers/, pkg/middleware/
• Rust → src/handlers/, src/services/
• Java/Maven → src/main/java/

✓ cc10x Integration

• Specification-driven TDD workflow
• Saves to .claude/cc10x/specification-reference.md
• cc10x loads specification as single source of truth

Usage

Transform Requirements to Pseudo-Code

Simply say:

Transform to pseudocode: Add OAuth with Google and GitHub. JWT tokens 15m TTL. Rate limit 10/hour.

Get back production-ready pseudo-code:

implement_oauth_authentication(...)  ✓

Validate Pseudo-Code

Simply say:

Validate my pseudocode: [paste your pseudo-code]

Get back a quality report:

✓ PASSED CHECKS
✗ CRITICAL ISSUES
⚠ WARNINGS
OVERALL STATUS: READY

Explain Your Project

Simply say:

Explain my project

Then describe your project:

Payment processing system with Stripe integration, webhooks, and refund handling.

Get back:

EXPLAIN_payment_system.md ✓

With:
- Technical architecture explanation (with analogies)
- Codebase structure and how parts connect
- Technology decisions and why they were made
- Lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid
- Engaging essay-style documentation (not boring tech docs)

Specification-Driven TDD with cc10x

1. Say: "Transform to pseudocode: [your requirement]"
2. Validate if needed: "Validate my pseudocode: [your spec]"
3. Say "Yes" to save to cc10x
4. Optionally invoke cc10x for TDD workflow
5. Follow RED-GREEN-REFACTOR using specification

Real-World Examples

Example 1: OAuth Authentication

Transform: "Add OAuth with Google, GitHub. JWT 15m TTL. Rate limit 10/hour." → Production-ready pseudo-code with all parameters, error codes, security

Example 2: API Rate Limiting

Transform: "Rate limit API to 1000 req/hour per user. Return 429 when exceeded." → Detailed specification with Redis backend, sliding window, retry headers
