Before Writing: Does this article already exist?

Run both of these before writing a word. They are cheap, and skipping them is how you produce a duplicate of something already published.

1. --search "<working title>", after confirming the cache is fresh. --list prints Last updated; if it is more than a few weeks old, run --full first. A stale cache silently answers "no such article" for everything published since it was built — it does not warn you.
2. ls <repo>/articles/ in the repo the article narrates. The Substack cache only knows what is published. An in-progress draft, a companion piece, or a planned part 2 exists only on disk — and its README.md, if present, is the authority on how the material was already split.

If a draft exists, the job is almost never "write it again" — it is to revise that file, or to write the pending companion piece. Confirm which with the user before drafting.

2026-08-08: skipping both produced a complete duplicate of a piece published the previous day, merged with its unpublished sequel. The narrated repo's articles/ directory was open in the same session for git-stats collection and was never listed; the cache was four months stale.
