+name: add-spytial-python
+description: Integrate sPyTial into Python programs with a high-quality authoring workflow. Use when users ask to add, tune, or debug spytial diagram/evaluator usage, selector-driven constraints and directives, CLRS-style data-structure layouts, sequence diagrams, or custom relationalizers in Python codebases and notebooks.
+---
+
+# Add sPyTial (Python)
+
+Use this skill to produce a polished, low-friction authoring experience for Python users adopting sPyTial.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Establish target and constraints.
+- Identify structure shape, desired rendering mode (`inline`, `browser`, `file`), and whether the user needs single snapshot or sequence playback.
+- If shape matches standard structures, load [CLRS Patterns](references/clrs-patterns.md) and choose the closest template first.
+
+2. Land a minimal working integration before styling.
+- Add a tiny baseline with `spytial.evaluate(obj)` and `spytial.diagram(obj)`.
+- Keep first patch runnable with one clear entrypoint.
+- If starting from scratch, scaffold with:
+  `python scripts/scaffold_spytial_starter.py --shape <linked-list|tree|graph|matrix> --out <path>`
+
+3. Add operations incrementally.
+- Add one operation at a time (`orientation`, `align`, `group`, `attribute`, `inferredEdge`, `hideField`, `hideAtom`, `edgeColor`).
+- Validate selectors against actual serialized data.
+- Load [Selector Cheatsheet](references/selector-cheatsheet.md) for expression syntax and debugging patterns.
+
+4. Use custom relationalizers only when needed.
+- Prefer built-in relationalizers first.
+- If semantics are still wrong, implement `RelationalizerBase` with `@relationalizer(priority=100+)`.
+- Validate serialization with `evaluate()` before tuning layout.
+- Load [Relationalizer Workflow](references/relationalizer-workflow.md).
+
+5. Finish with verifiable handoff.
+- Show run command and expected output artifact.
+- If working in this repo, run scoped verification in `spytial-py` (`pytest` or targeted tests).
+- Summarize changed files, chosen pattern, selector assumptions, and next tuning options.
+
+## Quality Bar
+
+- Deliver runnable code, not pseudocode.
+- Preserve a fast feedback loop: `evaluate()` then `diagram()`.
+- Prefer CLRS-derived patterns for common data structures.
+- Explain non-obvious selectors inline with short comments.
+- State assumptions explicitly when the data model is ambiguous.

+# Authoring Workflow
+
+Use this workflow to integrate sPyTial in a way that stays fast to iterate and easy to maintain.
+
+## 1. Start with a serialization checkpoint
+
+Use `evaluate()` before layout tuning:
+
+```python
+import spytial
+
+spytial.evaluate(obj)
+spytial.diagram(obj)
+```
+
+`evaluate()` confirms atoms/relations. `diagram()` confirms layout.
+
+## 2. Choose output mode intentionally
+
+- Notebook workflows: prefer default/`inline`.
+- Script + local debugging: prefer `browser`.
+- CI/docs artifacts: prefer `file` and commit generated screenshots only if needed.
+
+```python
+spytial.diagram(obj, method="browser")
+spytial.diagram(obj, method="file", auto_open=False)
+```
+
+## 3. Layer operations gradually
+
+Apply operations in this order unless a use case requires otherwise:
+
+1. Structural constraints: `orientation`, `align`, `group`
+2. Visibility controls: `hideField`, `hideAtom`
+3. Readability directives: `attribute`, `tag`, `edgeColor`, `atomColor`
+4. Derived edges: `inferredEdge`
+
+After each layer, rerun `evaluate()` or inspect diagram output before adding more.
+
+## 4. Sequence diagrams: decide identity policy early
+
+Use `diagramSequence()` for state transitions.
+
+- Reused mutable objects across frames: often no identity hook needed.
+- Rebuilt objects per frame: pass `identity=...` to stabilize IDs.
+
+```python
+spytial.diagramSequence(
+    states,
+    sequence_policy="stability",
+    identity=lambda obj: obj.id if hasattr(obj, "id") else None,
+)
+```
+
+## 5. Introduce custom relationalizers only if built-ins miss semantics
+
+Built-ins already cover primitives, `dict`/`list`/`tuple`/`set`, dataclasses, and generic objects.
+Use a custom relationalizer when domain meaning is not captured.
+
+Use priority `>=100` for custom relationalizers.
+
+## 6. Acceptance checklist
+
+- `evaluate()` output matches expected domain structure.
+- Diagram uses at least one intentional structure cue (direction, alignment, grouping, or inferred edge).
+- Selectors are valid and readable.
+- Output mode matches user context (notebook/script/CI).
+- If sequence: identity behavior is explicit and stable.

+# CLRS Patterns
+
+Use these patterns as first defaults for standard data structures before inventing new selectors.
+
+## Linked structures (stack/queue/list)
+
+Recommended defaults:
+
+- Linear flow: `orientation(selector="next", directions=["directlyRight"])`
+- Show payload: `attribute(field="data")`
+- Hide sentinels/primitive noise: `hideAtom(selector="NoneType + int + str")` (adjust per model)
+
+```python
+import spytial
+
+@spytial.orientation(selector="next", directions=["directlyRight"])
+@spytial.attribute(field="data")
+class Node:
+    def __init__(self, data, nxt=None):
+        self.data = data
+        self.next = nxt
+```
+
+## Trees (BST/RB/heap-like)
+
+Recommended defaults:
+
+- Left branch: `orientation(..., ["below", "left"])`
+- Right branch: `orientation(..., ["below", "right"])`
+- Optional sibling alignment: `align(..., direction="horizontal")`
+- Surface key metadata with `attribute(field="key")`
+
+```python
+import spytial
+
+@spytial.orientation(selector="left & (TreeNode->TreeNode)", directions=["below", "left"])
+@spytial.orientation(selector="right & (TreeNode->TreeNode)", directions=["below", "right"])
+@spytial.attribute(field="key")
+class TreeNode:
+    def __init__(self, key, left=None, right=None):
+        self.key = key
+        self.left = left
+        self.right = right
+```
+
+## Graphs from adjacency structures
+
+Recommended defaults:
+
+- Derive explicit edges with `inferredEdge`
+- Hide raw container atoms (`list`, tuples, helper wrappers)
+- Keep node labels through `attribute(field="key")` or domain field names
+
+```python
+import spytial
+
+graph = spytial.inferredEdge(
+    selector="{a, b : Node | b in a.neighbors}",
+    name="edge",
+)(graph_obj)
+graph = spytial.hideAtom(selector="list + tuple")(graph)
+spytial.diagram(graph)
+```
+
+## Hash-table and bucketed layouts
+
+Recommended defaults:
+
+- Group buckets with selector-based `group(...)`
+- Orient chain relations directly left/right
+- Hide housekeeping fields such as `prev` where needed
+
+Selectors from CLRS-style examples often look like:
+
+- `group(selector="(NoneType.~key) - ((iden & next).Node)", name="T")`
+- `orientation(selector="next & (Node->Node)", directions=["directlyRight"])`
+
+## Matrix / DP table layouts
+
+Recommended defaults:
+
+- Build row and column selectors
+- `align` rows and columns
+- Add directional orientation across row/column deltas
+
+Pattern from memoization examples:
+
+- `align(selector=SAME_ROW, direction="horizontal")`
+- `align(selector=SAME_COL, direction="vertical")`
+- `orientation(selector=DIFF_ROWS, directions=["below"])`
+- `orientation(selector=DIFF_COLS, directions=["right"])`
+
+## Disjoint sets / grouped regions
+
+Recommended defaults:
+
+- Group by selector to expose set membership
+- Hide technical atoms (`int`, helper lists) after structure checks
+- Keep representative fields visible with `attribute(...)`
+
+## Picking the closest notebook
+
+Map use case to source notebook:
+
+- Stacks/queues: `spytial-clrs/src/stacksqueues.ipynb`
+- Linked lists: `spytial-clrs/src/linked-lists.ipynb`
+- Heaps: `spytial-clrs/src/heaps.ipynb`
+- Trees: `spytial-clrs/src/trees.ipynb`
+- Hash tables: `spytial-clrs/src/hash-tables.ipynb`
+- Graphs: `spytial-clrs/src/graphs.ipynb`
+- Disjoint sets: `spytial-clrs/src/disjoint-sets.ipynb`
+- Memoization tables: `spytial-clrs/src/memoization.ipynb`

+# Relationalizer Workflow
+
+Use this only when built-in relationalizers cannot express domain semantics cleanly.
+
+## Decision rule
+
+Implement a custom relationalizer when at least one is true:
+
+- Built-in output merges concepts that should be separate node types.
+- Required domain edges do not exist in serialized output.
+- You need stable, explicit IDs/labels not derivable from defaults.
+
+Stay with built-ins when you only need visual/layout tuning.
+
+## Minimal implementation
+
+```python
+from spytial import RelationalizerBase, relationalizer, Atom, Relation
+
+@relationalizer(priority=100)
+class WidgetRelationalizer(RelationalizerBase):
+    def can_handle(self, obj):
+        return hasattr(obj, "widget_id")
+
+    def relationalize(self, obj, walker_func):
+        widget_atom = Atom(
+            id=f"widget:{obj.widget_id}",
+            type="Widget",
+            label=getattr(obj, "name", str(obj.widget_id)),
+        )
+        rels = []
+        if getattr(obj, "parent", None) is not None:
+            parent_id = walker_func._get_id(obj.parent)
+            rels.append(Relation(name="parent", tuples=[(widget_atom.id, parent_id)]))
+        return [widget_atom], rels
+```
+
+## Required checks
+
+1. Import path registers class (decorator executes on import).
+2. Priority is `>=100` (built-ins reserve lower range).
+3. `spytial.evaluate(sample)` shows expected atoms/relations.
+4. `spytial.diagram(sample)` renders without missing-edge surprises.
+
+## Common mistakes
+
+- Implementing relationalizer when selectors/operations were enough.
+- Returning unstable IDs across runs, breaking sequence/view consistency.
+- Skipping `evaluate()` and debugging only in diagram view.
+- Forgetting to import module containing the decorated class.
+
+## Handoff expectations
+
+When adding a custom relationalizer, include:
+
+- Why built-ins were insufficient.
+- Chosen atom types and relation names.
+- One or two selectors that rely on the new relations.

+# Selector Cheatsheet
+
+This cheatsheet is based on `simple-graph-query` syntax as used by sPyTial selectors.
+
+## Core set and relation operators
+
+- Union: `A + B`
+- Intersection: `A & B`
+- Difference: `A - B`
+- Join: `A.rel` or `rel.Type`
+- Product: `A -> B`
+- Transpose: `~rel`
+- Transitive closure: `^rel`
+- Reflexive-transitive closure: `*rel`
+
+Examples:
+
+- `Node.key`
+- `edge.edge`
+- `~parent`
+- `^next`
+- `Node - NoneType`
+
+## Predicates and logic
+
+- Membership: `x in S`
+- Equality/inequality: `x = y`, `x != y`
+- Boolean ops: `and`, `or`, `!`, `=>`, `<=>`
+- Quantifiers: `all`, `some`, `no`, `one`, `lone`
+
+Examples:
+
+- `some x: Node | x in roots`
+- `all x: Item | some y: Item | x != y`
+- `all disj i, j: Int | not i = j`
+
+## Comprehensions (great for `group`/`orientation` selectors)
+
+Unary:
+
+```txt
+{x : Item | x.value > 10}
+```
+
+Binary:
+
+```txt
+{b : Basket, a : Fruit | (a in b.fruit) and a.status = Rotten}
+```
+
+Numeric ordering (common for array-backed structures):
+
+```txt
+{x, y : idx[object][object] | @num:(x[idx[object]]) < @num:(y[idx[object]])}
+```
+
+## Built-ins that matter most
+
+- `univ`: all atoms
+- `iden`: identity relation (all `(a, a)` pairs)
+- `Int`: integer atoms
+
+## Label conversion helpers
+
+- `@:(expr)` convert to string label form
+- `@num:(expr)` convert to number for numeric comparisons
+
+Examples:
+
+- `@:(n14) = @:(12)`
+- `@num:(x[idx[object]]) < @num:(y[idx[object]])`
+
+## Reserved keyword identifiers
+
+If a field/type name conflicts with a keyword, use backticks:
+
+- `` `set` ``
+- `` item0.`in` ``
+
+## Debugging workflow for selectors
+
+1. Open `spytial.evaluate(obj)` to inspect available atoms/relations.
+2. Start with a broad selector (`TypeName` or relation name).
+3. Add one operator at a time (`&`, `-`, join, then comprehension).
+4. Re-run and verify before using it in an annotation.
+5. Keep selectors readable; factor complex expressions into local constants.
