## Overview

### Purpose

The **Article-to-Prototype Skill** is an autonomous agent designed to bridge the gap between technical documentation and working code. It extracts technical content from diverse sources (academic papers, blog posts, documentation, tutorials) and generates functional prototypes or proof-of-concept implementations in the most appropriate programming language.

This skill addresses a critical pain point in software development and research: the time-consuming manual translation of algorithms, architectures, and methodologies from written documentation into executable code. By automating this process, developers and researchers can:

- **Accelerate prototyping** from hours or days to minutes
- **Reduce human error** in translating complex algorithms
- **Maintain traceability** between documentation and implementation
- **Enable rapid experimentation** with new techniques
- **Support learning** by seeing implementations alongside theory

### Problem Statement

Modern software development increasingly relies on implementing techniques and algorithms described in:
- Academic research papers (arXiv, IEEE, ACM)
- Technical blog posts and tutorials
- Official API and library documentation
- Educational materials (books, courses, notebooks)
- Open-source documentation

However, the process of going from "paper to code" involves several manual steps:
1. Reading and comprehending the source material
2. Identifying key algorithms, data structures, and architectures
3. Translating pseudocode or descriptions to actual code
4. Selecting appropriate libraries and frameworks
5. Writing boilerplate and infrastructure code
6. Testing and validating the implementation

This skill automates all these steps while maintaining high quality and accuracy.

### Solution Approach

The Article-to-Prototype Skill implements a sophisticated multi-stage pipeline:

1. **Format Detection & Extraction**: Automatically detects the input format (PDF, web page, notebook, markdown) and applies specialized extraction techniques to preserve structure and content
2. **Semantic Analysis**: Uses advanced natural language processing to identify technical concepts, algorithms, dependencies, and architectural patterns
3. **Language Selection**: Intelligently determines the optimal programming language based on the domain, mentioned technologies, and use case
4. **Prototype Generation**: Generates clean, well-documented, production-quality code with proper error handling and type hints
5. **Documentation Creation**: Produces comprehensive README files that link back to the source material

### Key Differentiators

Unlike generic code generation tools, this skill:
- **Preserves context** from the original article throughout the implementation
- **Handles multiple input formats** with specialized extractors for each
- **Generates multi-language output** based on intelligent analysis
- **Includes complete projects** with dependencies, tests, and documentation
- **Learns progressively** through AgentDB integration
- **Maintains quality standards** with no placeholders or incomplete code

## Architecture & Design

### System Architecture

The Article-to-Prototype Skill follows a modular pipeline architecture:

```
Input → Extraction → Analysis → Generation → Output
  ↓         ↓          ↓           ↓          ↓
Format    Content   Technical   Code Gen   Complete
Detection Structure Concepts   & Docs     Prototype
```

Each stage is independent and replaceable, allowing for:
- **Parallel Processing**: Multiple articles can be processed simultaneously
- **Caching**: Extracted content can be cached for re-analysis
- **Extensibility**: New formats or languages can be added without changing other components
- **Testing**: Each component can be tested in isolation

    def detect_code_fragments(self, content: ExtractedContent) -> List[CodeFragment]:
        """Detects code and pseudocode in content"""
        pass

    def detect_language_hints(self, content: ExtractedContent) -> List[str]:
        """Detects mentioned programming languages"""
        pass

    def extract_pseudocode(self, text: str) -> List[PseudocodeBlock]:
        """Extracts and structures pseudocode"""
        pass
```

**Pseudocode Detection Patterns:**
```
- "Algorithm X:"
- Numbered steps (1., 2., 3. or Step 1:, Step 2:)
- Indented control structures (IF, WHILE, FOR)
- Mathematical notation with algorithmic context
- "Procedure" or "Function" headers
```

**Language Hint Detection:**
- Explicit mentions: "implemented in Python", "using JavaScript"
- Code block language annotations
- Library/framework mentions
- Ecosystem indicators (npm → JavaScript, pip → Python)

### Generator Components

#### Language Selector (`scripts/generators/language_selector.py`)

**Responsibility:** Select the optimal programming language for the prototype.

**Selection Algorithm:**
```python
def select_language(analysis: AnalysisResult) -> str:
    # Priority 1: Explicit mention
    if analysis.explicit_language:
        return analysis.explicit_language

    # Priority 2: Domain best practices
    domain_language_map = {
        "machine_learning": "python",
        "web_development": "typescript",
        "systems_programming": "rust",
        "scientific_computing": "julia",
        "data_engineering": "python"
    }
    if analysis.domain in domain_language_map:
        candidate = domain_language_map[analysis.domain]

        # Verify required libraries exist
        if check_library_availability(analysis.dependencies, candidate):
            return candidate

    # Priority 3: Dependency-driven selection
    language_scores = score_by_dependencies(analysis.dependencies)
    if max(language_scores.values()) > 0.7:
        return max(language_scores, key=language_scores.get)

    # Default: Python (most versatile)
    return "python"
```

**Scoring Logic:**
```python
def score_by_dependencies(dependencies: List[str]) -> Dict[str, float]:
    scores = {lang: 0.0 for lang in SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES}

    for dep in dependencies:
        if dep in LIBRARY_TO_LANGUAGE:
            lang = LIBRARY_TO_LANGUAGE[dep]
            scores[lang] += 1.0

    # Normalize
    total = sum(scores.values())
    if total > 0:
        scores = {k: v/total for k, v in scores.items()}

    return scores
```

#### Prototype Generator (`scripts/generators/prototype_generator.py`)

**Responsibility:** Generate complete, production-quality code prototypes.

**Generation Process:**
1. **Project Structure Planning**: Determine files and directories
2. **Dependency Resolution**: Identify all required libraries
3. **Code Synthesis**: Generate implementation code
4. **Test Generation**: Create test suite
5. **Documentation Creation**: Write README and inline docs
6. **Configuration Files**: Generate language-specific configs

**Public Interface:**
```python
class PrototypeGenerator:
    def generate(
        self,
        analysis: AnalysisResult,
        language: str,
        output_dir: str
    ) -> GeneratedPrototype:
        """
        Generates a complete prototype project.

        Args:
            analysis: Analysis result from ContentAnalyzer
            language: Selected programming language
            output_dir: Directory to write output files

        Returns:
            GeneratedPrototype with file paths and metadata
        """
        pass
```

**Code Quality Enforcement:**
- **Type Safety**: Adds type hints (Python), type annotations (TypeScript), or strong typing
- **Error Handling**: Wraps operations in try/catch or Result types
- **Logging**: Adds structured logging at appropriate levels
- **Documentation**: Generates docstrings/comments for all public interfaces
- **Testing**: Creates unit tests for core functionality

**Template System:**
The generator uses a template system for each language:
```
templates/
├── python/
│   ├── main.py.template
│   ├── requirements.txt.template
│   ├── README.md.template
│   └── test_main.py.template
├── typescript/
│   ├── index.ts.template
│   ├── package.json.template
│   └── ...
└── ...
```

Templates use Jinja2-style variable substitution:
```python
# main.py.template
"""
{{ project_name }}

Generated from: {{ source_url }}
Domain: {{ domain }}
"""

import logging
{% for dependency in dependencies %}
import {{ dependency }}
{% endfor %}

# ... rest of template
```

---

## Extraction Pipeline

### Pipeline Stages

The extraction pipeline follows a well-defined sequence:

```
Input → Detection → Extraction → Structuring → Validation → Output
```

#### Stage 1: Format Detection
- Analyze input to determine format
- Check file extension
- Read magic bytes for binary formats
- Validate URL structure

```python
def detect_format(input_path: str) -> str:
    if input_path.startswith("http"):
        return "url"
    ext = Path(input_path).suffix.lower()
    if ext == ".pdf":
        return "pdf"
    elif ext == ".ipynb":
        return "notebook"
    elif ext in [".md", ".markdown"]:
        return "markdown"
    elif ext == ".txt":
        return "text"
    else:
        raise UnsupportedFormatError(f"Unknown format: {ext}")
```

#### Stage 2: Extraction
- Select appropriate extractor
- Apply format-specific parsing
- Handle errors gracefully
- Collect metadata

#### Stage 3: Structuring
- Normalize extracted content into common format
- Identify sections and hierarchies
- Separate code from prose
- Build content graph

**Common Content Structure:**
```python
@dataclass
class ExtractedContent:
    title: str
    sections: List[Section]
    code_blocks: List[CodeBlock]
    metadata: Dict[str, Any]
    source_url: Optional[str]
    extraction_date: datetime

@dataclass
class Section:
    heading: str
    level: int  # 1, 2, 3, etc.
    content: str
    subsections: List['Section']

@dataclass
class CodeBlock:
    language: Optional[str]
    code: str
    line_number: Optional[int]
    context: str  # Surrounding text for context
```

#### Stage 4: Validation
- Verify content quality
- Check for extraction errors
- Validate structure integrity
- Compute confidence score

```python
def validate_extraction(content: ExtractedContent) -> ValidationResult:
    issues = []

    # Check for minimum content
    if len(content.sections) == 0:
        issues.append("No sections extracted")

    # Check for code presence (if expected)
    if is_technical_content(content) and len(content.code_blocks) == 0:
        issues.append("No code blocks found in technical content")

    # Check for metadata completeness
    required_metadata = ["title", "source"]
    missing = [k for k in required_metadata if k not in content.metadata]
    if missing:
        issues.append(f"Missing metadata: {missing}")

    confidence = 1.0 - (len(issues) * 0.1)
    return ValidationResult(valid=len(issues) == 0, issues=issues, confidence=confidence)
```

#### Stage 5: Output
- Return structured content
- Cache for future use
- Log extraction metrics
- Update AgentDB with patterns

---

## Analysis Methodology

### Semantic Analysis Pipeline

```
Content → Tokenization → NER → Pattern Matching → Classification → Output
```

#### Tokenization & Preprocessing
- Sentence segmentation
- Word tokenization
- Stop word removal (selective - preserve technical terms)
- Lemmatization for better matching

#### Named Entity Recognition (NER)
While we don't use a full NER model, we implement domain-specific entity recognition:
- **Algorithms**: QuickSort, Dijkstra's, Backpropagation
- **Architectures**: MVC, Microservices, Client-Server
- **Technologies**: TensorFlow, React, PostgreSQL
- **Concepts**: Concurrency, Recursion, Optimization

#### Pattern Matching
Regular expressions and structural patterns for:
- Algorithm descriptions
- Pseudocode blocks
- Complexity analysis (O(n), O(log n))
- Dependency mentions

**Example Patterns:**
```python
ALGORITHM_PATTERNS = [
    r'Algorithm\s+\d+:?\s+(.+)',
    r'(?:The|This)\s+algorithm\s+(.+?)\.',
    r'(?:function|procedure)\s+(\w+)\s*\(',
]

COMPLEXITY_PATTERNS = [
    r'O\([^)]+\)',
    r'time complexity[:\s]+(.+)',
    r'space complexity[:\s]+(.+)',
]
```

#### Domain Classification
Uses TF-IDF vectorization on domain-specific vocabularies:
```python
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import cosine_similarity

# Precomputed domain vocabularies
DOMAIN_TEXTS = {
    "machine_learning": "...",  # Representative text
    "web_development": "...",
    # ...
}

def classify_domain(content: str) -> str:
    vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer()
    all_texts = list(DOMAIN_TEXTS.values()) + [content]
    tfidf_matrix = vectorizer.fit_transform(all_texts)

    content_vector = tfidf_matrix[-1]
    domain_vectors = tfidf_matrix[:-1]

    similarities = cosine_similarity(content_vector, domain_vectors)[0]
    best_domain_idx = similarities.argmax()

    return list(DOMAIN_TEXTS.keys())[best_domain_idx]
```

### Algorithm Extraction

**Multi-Strategy Approach:**

1. **Explicit Algorithms**: Look for "Algorithm X:" headers
2. **Pseudocode**: Detect indented procedural descriptions
3. **Inline Descriptions**: Extract from prose using NLP
4. **Code Examples**: Analyze provided code for algorithmic patterns

**Extraction Example:**
```
Input: "The sorting algorithm works as follows: 1. Compare adjacent elements.
2. Swap if they're in the wrong order. 3. Repeat until the list is sorted."

Output:
Algorithm(
    name="Bubble Sort" (inferred),
    steps=[
        "Compare adjacent elements",
        "Swap if they're in the wrong order",
        "Repeat until the list is sorted"
    ],
    complexity="O(n^2)" (inferred from pattern),
    pseudocode=None
)
```

### Dependency Graph Construction

Build a dependency graph to understand relationships:
```python
@dataclass
class DependencyGraph:
    nodes: List[Dependency]  # Libraries, APIs, services
    edges: List[Tuple[str, str, str]]  # (from, to, relationship)

def build_dependency_graph(content: ExtractedContent) -> DependencyGraph:
    graph = DependencyGraph(nodes=[], edges=[])

    # Extract direct dependencies from imports
    for code_block in content.code_blocks:
        imports = extract_imports(code_block.code)
        graph.nodes.extend(imports)

    # Extract mentioned dependencies from text
    for section in content.sections:
        mentioned = extract_mentioned_dependencies(section.content)
        graph.nodes.extend(mentioned)

    # Build relationships (e.g., "A requires B")
    graph.edges = infer_relationships(graph.nodes, content)

    return graph
```

---

## Code Generation Strategy

### Generation Principles

1. **Completeness**: No TODOs, no placeholders, fully functional
2. **Clarity**: Readable code with meaningful variable names
3. **Correctness**: Type-safe, error-handled, tested
4. **Context Preservation**: Comments linking back to source material
5. **Best Practices**: Follow language idioms and conventions

### Language-Specific Generation

#### Python Generation
```python
def generate_python_project(analysis: AnalysisResult, output_dir: str):
    # Project structure
    create_directory_structure(output_dir, [
        "src/",
        "tests/",
        "docs/",
    ])

    # Generate main module
    main_code = generate_python_main(analysis)
    write_file(f"{output_dir}/src/main.py", main_code)

    # Generate requirements.txt
    requirements = generate_requirements(analysis.dependencies)
    write_file(f"{output_dir}/requirements.txt", requirements)

    # Generate tests
    test_code = generate_python_tests(analysis)
    write_file(f"{output_dir}/tests/test_main.py", test_code)

    # Generate README
    readme = generate_readme(analysis, "python")
    write_file(f"{output_dir}/README.md", readme)

    # Generate pyproject.toml
    pyproject = generate_pyproject_toml(analysis)
    write_file(f"{output_dir}/pyproject.toml", pyproject)
```

**Python Code Template:**
```python
"""
{module_name}

Generated from: {source_url}
Domain: {domain}

{description}
"""

import logging
from typing import List, Dict, Any, Optional
{additional_imports}

# Configure logging
logging.basicConfig(
    level=logging.INFO,
    format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s'
)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

{generated_classes}

{generated_functions}

def main():
    """Main entry point"""
    logger.info("Starting {project_name}")
    {main_logic}

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

#### TypeScript Generation
```typescript
/**
 * {module_name}
 *
 * Generated from: {source_url}
 * Domain: {domain}
 *
 * {description}
 */

{imports}

{interfaces}

{classes}

{functions}

// Main execution
if (require.main === module) {
  main();
}

export { {exports} };
```

#### Rust Generation
```rust
//! {module_name}
//!
//! Generated from: {source_url}
//! Domain: {domain}
//!
//! {description}

{use_statements}

{structs}

{implementations}

{functions}

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    {main_logic}
    Ok(())
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;

    {test_functions}
}
```

### Documentation Generation

Every generated project includes comprehensive documentation:

**README Structure:**
```markdown
# {Project Name}

> Generated from [{source_title}]({source_url})

## Overview
{Brief description extracted from article}

## Installation
{Language-specific installation instructions}

## Usage
{Code examples demonstrating usage}

## Implementation Details
{Links between code and article sections}

## Testing
{How to run tests}

## Source Attribution
- Original Article: [{title}]({url})
- Extraction Date: {date}
- Generated by: Article-to-Prototype Skill v1.0

## License
MIT License (see LICENSE file)
```

### Test Generation

Automatically generates tests based on analysis:
```python
def generate_tests(analysis: AnalysisResult, language: str) -> str:
    tests = []

    # Test for each detected algorithm
    for algo in analysis.algorithms:
        test = generate_algorithm_test(algo, language)
        tests.append(test)

    # Test for main functionality
    tests.append(generate_integration_test(analysis, language))

    # Test for error handling
    tests.append(generate_error_handling_test(analysis, language))

    return format_test_suite(tests, language)
```

---

## Usage Examples

**Input:**
```python
# User command in Claude Code
extract from paper "path/to/dijkstra_paper.pdf" and implement in Python
```

**Processing:**
1. PDF Extractor reads the paper
2. Content Analyzer detects Dijkstra's algorithm
3. Language Selector chooses Python (explicitly requested)

## Quality Standards

### Code Quality Checklist

Every generated prototype must pass these quality gates:

- [ ] **No Placeholders**: All functions fully implemented
- [ ] **Type Annotations**: Type hints (Python), types (TypeScript), strong typing (Rust/Go)
- [ ] **Error Handling**: Try/catch, Result types, or error returns for all external operations
- [ ] **Logging**: Structured logging at INFO, DEBUG, and ERROR levels
- [ ] **Documentation**: Docstrings/comments for all public interfaces
- [ ] **Tests**: Unit tests with >80% coverage of core logic
- [ ] **Dependencies**: All listed in manifest with version pins
- [ ] **README**: Complete with installation, usage, and examples
- [ ] **License**: Included (default MIT)
- [ ] **Source Attribution**: Links to original article maintained

### Validation Process

Before outputting a prototype, the generator runs validation:

```python
def validate_prototype(prototype_dir: str) -> ValidationResult:
    checks = [
        check_all_files_exist(prototype_dir),
        check_no_placeholders(prototype_dir),
        check_syntax_valid(prototype_dir),
        check_tests_present(prototype_dir),
        check_documentation_complete(prototype_dir),
        check_dependencies_valid(prototype_dir),
    ]

    passed = all(check.passed for check in checks)
    issues = [check.message for check in checks if not check.passed]

    return ValidationResult(passed=passed, issues=issues)
```

If validation fails, the generator retries with corrections or reports the issue to the user.

---

## Performance & Optimization

### Caching Strategy

Three-tier caching system:

1. **L1 Cache (Memory)**: In-memory cache for current session
   - Stores extracted content objects
   - Expires on skill termination
   - Instant access (< 1ms)

2. **L2 Cache (Disk)**: Local file cache
   - Stores extracted content in JSON format
   - 24-hour expiration
   - Fast access (~10ms)

3. **L3 Cache (AgentDB)**: Persistent learning cache
   - Stores successful patterns and analyses
   - Never expires (evolves over time)
   - Network access (~100-500ms)

### Parallel Processing

The skill supports parallel processing for batch operations:

```python
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed

def process_multiple_articles(article_urls: List[str]) -> List[GeneratedPrototype]:
    with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as executor:
        futures = {
            executor.submit(process_article, url): url
            for url in article_urls
        }

        results = []
        for future in as_completed(futures):
            url = futures[future]
            try:
                result = future.result()
                results.append(result)
            except Exception as e:
                logger.error(f"Failed to process {url}: {e}")

        return results
```

## AgentDB Integration

### Learning Capabilities

The skill integrates with AgentDB for progressive learning:

#### Reflexion Memory
Stores each article processing as an episode:
```json
{
  "episode_id": "uuid",
  "timestamp": "2025-10-23T10:30:00Z",
  "input": {
    "source": "https://example.com/article",
    "format": "web"
  },
  "actions": [
    "extracted_content",
    "analyzed_domain: machine_learning",
    "selected_language: python",
    "generated_prototype"
  ],
  "result": {
    "success": true,
    "quality_score": 0.92,
    "user_feedback": "positive"
  },
  "learnings": [
    "ML articles benefit from Jupyter notebook output",
    "Include visualization libraries by default"
  ]
}
```

#### Skill Library
Builds reusable patterns:
- Common extraction patterns for each format
- Domain → language mappings that work well
- Template improvements based on user feedback
- Dependency combinations that work together

#### Causal Effects
Tracks what decisions lead to success:
- "Using TypeScript for web APIs → 15% higher satisfaction"
- "Including tests → 25% fewer bug reports"
- "Detailed README → 30% fewer support questions"

### Learning Feedback Loop

```
User Request → Process → Generate → AgentDB Store
                                          ↓
User Feedback → AgentDB Update → Improve Patterns
                                          ↓
Next Request → Query AgentDB → Apply Learnings
```

### Mathematical Validation

AgentDB integration includes validation using merkle proofs:
```python
def validate_with_agentdb(decision: Decision) -> ValidationResult:
    # Query AgentDB for historical similar decisions
    similar = agentdb.query_similar_decisions(decision)

    # Calculate confidence based on past success
    success_rate = sum(d.success for d in similar) / len(similar)

    # Generate merkle proof for decision lineage
    proof = agentdb.generate_merkle_proof(decision)

    return ValidationResult(
        confidence=success_rate,
        proof=proof,
        recommendation="proceed" if success_rate > 0.7 else "review"
    )
```

## Error Handling & Recovery

### Graceful Degradation

The skill is designed to handle failures at each stage:

**Extraction Failures:**
- PDF corruption → Try alternative PDF library or partial extraction
- Web timeout → Retry with exponential backoff (3 attempts)
- Unsupported format → Prompt user for clarification

**Analysis Failures:**
- Low confidence → Request user confirmation before proceeding
- No algorithms detected → Generate general-purpose scaffold
- Ambiguous domain → Prompt user to specify domain

**Generation Failures:**
- Syntax errors → Auto-correct and retry
- Missing dependencies → Suggest alternatives or prompt user
- Test failures → Generate with placeholder tests and notify user

### Error Reporting

Errors are reported with actionable context:
```
Error: Failed to extract code blocks from PDF

Possible causes:
1. PDF uses non-standard fonts (common in scanned documents)
2. Code blocks are embedded as images

Suggestions:
- Try using a web version of the article if available
- Provide the article text directly as markdown
- Use OCR preprocessing (experimental feature)

Would you like to:
[1] Retry with OCR
[2] Provide alternative source
[3] Continue without code blocks
```

### Logging & Debugging

Comprehensive logging at multiple levels:
- **INFO**: High-level progress ("Extracting from PDF...", "Generating Python code...")
- **DEBUG**: Detailed operations ("Detected 3 code blocks", "Selected language: python (score: 0.85)")
- **ERROR**: Failures with stack traces and recovery actions

Logs are structured for easy parsing:
```json
{
  "timestamp": "2025-10-23T10:30:15.123Z",
  "level": "INFO",
  "component": "PDFExtractor",
  "message": "Successfully extracted 15 pages",
  "metadata": {
    "file": "paper.pdf",
    "pages": 15,
    "code_blocks": 3,
    "duration_ms": 4523
  }
}
```

## Extension Points

The skill is designed for extensibility:

### Adding New Format Extractors

To support a new format (e.g., Word documents):

1. Create new extractor in `scripts/extractors/docx_extractor.py`
2. Implement `Extractor` interface:
   ```python
   class DOCXExtractor(Extractor):
       def extract(self, path: str) -> ExtractedContent:
           # Implementation
           pass
   ```
3. Register in format detection:
   ```python
   FORMAT_TO_EXTRACTOR = {
       "pdf": PDFExtractor,
       "web": WebExtractor,
       "notebook": NotebookExtractor,
       "markdown": MarkdownExtractor,
       "docx": DOCXExtractor,  # New!
   }
   ```

### Adding New Language Generators

To support a new language (e.g., C#):

1. Create template directory: `assets/templates/csharp/`
2. Create generator in `scripts/generators/csharp_generator.py`
3. Implement `LanguageGenerator` interface:
   ```python
   class CSharpGenerator(LanguageGenerator):
       def generate_project(self, analysis: AnalysisResult, output_dir: str):
           # Implementation
           pass
   ```
4. Register in language selector:
   ```python
   LANGUAGE_GENERATORS = {
       "python": PythonGenerator,
       "typescript": TypeScriptGenerator,
       "csharp": CSharpGenerator,  # New!
   }
   ```

### Custom Analysis Plugins

Users can add custom analysis plugins:

```python
# plugins/custom_analyzer.py
class MyCustomAnalyzer(AnalyzerPlugin):
    def analyze(self, content: ExtractedContent) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        # Custom analysis logic
        return {"custom_insights": [...]}

# Register plugin
register_analyzer_plugin(MyCustomAnalyzer)
```

---

## Testing Strategy

### Unit Testing

Each component has comprehensive unit tests:

```python
# tests/test_pdf_extractor.py
def test_extract_simple_pdf():
    extractor = PDFExtractor()
    content = extractor.extract("tests/data/simple_paper.pdf")

    assert content.title == "A Simple Algorithm"
    assert len(content.sections) == 4
    assert len(content.code_blocks) >= 1

def test_extract_with_equations():
    extractor = PDFExtractor()
    content = extractor.extract("tests/data/math_paper.pdf")

    # Should preserve LaTeX equations
    assert "\\sum" in content.sections[2].content
```

### Integration Testing

Tests full pipeline with sample articles:

```python
# tests/test_integration.py
def test_end_to_end_pdf_to_python():
    # Process a known test PDF
    result = process_article("tests/data/dijkstra.pdf")

    # Verify generated code
    assert result.language == "python"
    assert Path(result.output_dir, "src/dijkstra.py").exists()

    # Verify code quality
    syntax_check = check_python_syntax(result.output_dir)
    assert syntax_check.passed
```

### Example Data

Test suite includes sample articles:
- `tests/data/simple_algorithm.pdf` - Basic algorithm paper
- `tests/data/web_api_tutorial.html` - Web development tutorial
- `tests/data/ml_notebook.ipynb` - Machine learning notebook
- `tests/data/architecture_doc.md` - System architecture description

**Activation:**
User simply types commands like:
- "Extract algorithm from paper.pdf and implement in Python"
- "Create prototype from https://example.com/tutorial"
- "Implement the code described in notebook.ipynb"

The skill activates based on keyword detection and handles the rest autonomously.
