Ideation reuse check
Reduces waste by finding existing solutions early.
When to use
- New capability might already exist in the org or ecosystem
- “Build vs buy” is open
- Duplication risk is high (auth, logging, RAG, etc.)
Instructions
- Define the capability in domain terms (not a tech stack yet).
- Search internally — repos, packages, shared services, ADRs, Slack/docs indexes.
- Search externally — mature OSS, cloud managed services (check license and ops cost). If the capability is an agent skill (prompted workflow for an IDE agent), also scan public skill registries (e.g. skills.sh and
npx skills findper find-skills); for full authoring steps see skill-creation. - Record findings: name, link, fit (good/partial/poor), adoption cost.
- Recommend: reuse, wrap, fork, or build; cite trade-offs.
Output format
- Capability: …
- Candidates: table (source, fit, effort, risk)
- Recommendation: …
Anti-patterns
- Starting design docs before a 30-minute search
- Rejecting reuse due to Not Invented Here without cost analysis
