Reuse-First Engineering Skill

Activate this skill before creating any new component, utility function, hook, service, database helper, or CSS class.

Operational Directive: Never build from scratch what already exists in the codebase.

1. Automated AST Catalog Search

Before writing new code, query the workspace symbol catalog or execute the duplicate finder:

# Search for matching components, hooks, or functions in workspace
node skills/reuse-first/scripts/find-duplicates.js modal
node skills/reuse-first/scripts/find-duplicates.js user
node skills/reuse-first/scripts/find-duplicates.js fetch
