code-deduplication
Code Deduplication
Prevent semantic duplication and code bloat through capability indexing and pre-write checks.
Core Philosophy
Check before you write. Agents tend to reimplement rather than reuse. The problem isn't duplicate code—it's duplicate purpose.
Goal: Know what exists before writing anything new.
Quick Workflow
- Maintain CODE_INDEX.md in project root—a capability index organized by purpose, not file location
- Before writing any new function, check the index for similar capabilities
- After writing new code, update the index immediately
- Periodically audit for overlapping implementations
CODE_INDEX.md Structure

35output-quality
Detect and eliminate generic, low-quality "AI slop" patterns in natural language, code, and design. Use when REVIEWING existing content (text, code, or visual designs) for quality issues, cleaning up generic patterns, or establishing quality standards. Focuses on pattern detection—not content creation.
11coding-discipline
Language-agnostic behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes. Use for ANY coding task (all languages) to avoid overcomplication, make surgical changes, surface assumptions before coding, and define verifiable success criteria. Applies behavioral rigor—separate from language-specific technical standards.
10cli-vstash
Local document memory with semantic search for AI-assisted workflows. Use when managing project documentation, codebases, or research papers that need persistent memory across sessions. Triggers on: vstash add/search/ask commands, document ingestion, semantic search, RAG pipelines, local knowledge bases, or configuring vstash for personal projects.
5mcp-vstash
MCP server integration for vstash document memory. Use when configuring Claude Desktop or other MCP-compatible AI assistants with persistent document memory, setting up vstash MCP tools for semantic search and Q&A, or integrating vstash with AI assistant workflows via Model Context Protocol.
5sqlmodel
Comprehensive guide for working with SQLModel, PostgreSQL, and SQLAlchemy in FastAPI projects. Use when working with database operations in FastAPI including: (1) Defining SQLModel models and relationships, (2) Database connection and session management, (3) CRUD operations, (4) Query patterns and filtering, (5) Database migrations with Alembic, (6) Testing with SQLite, (7) Performance optimization and connection pooling, (8) Transaction management and error handling, (9) Advanced features like cascading deletes, soft deletes, and event listeners, (10) FastAPI integration patterns. Covers both basic and advanced database patterns for production-ready FastAPI applications.
