You can visualize inside of Claude then when you're finished, drop the output of Claude into React Cosmos as a file. This is great for prototyping algorithms and recording the progression.

For example you might say "generate an interactive react app that implements a simple pathfinder that uses A* with a penalty for going near edges". You can also just drop in a paper or pseudo code of an algorithm you're ideating on.

Here's an example how we use react cosmos for our autorouter[2]
