Recurrence Solver
Purpose
Provides expert guidance on solving recurrence relations arising from divide-and-conquer and recursive algorithm analysis.
Capabilities
- Apply Master Theorem (all three cases)
- Substitution method with guess verification
- Recursion tree analysis with visualization
- Generating functions for complex recurrences
- Akra-Bazzi method for generalized recurrences
- Handle non-standard recurrence forms
Usage Guidelines
- Recognition: Identify recurrence structure and applicable methods
- Master Theorem: Check and apply Master Theorem cases
- Substitution: Formulate and verify guess for complex cases
- Tree Analysis: Build recursion tree for intuition
- Verification: Validate solutions with base cases
Tools/Libraries
- SymPy
- Visualization libraries
- Symbolic algebra systems
Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
