cocosearch-new-feature

To add a new CocoSearch feature, follow a structured workflow of discovering analog patterns, extracting conventions, planning integration points, and implementing code using existing templates. This ensures new commands or endpoints mirror established project patterns cleanly.

The best way to integrate a new endpoint is using pattern-based design, which identifies analog features, reuses proven templates for placement and wiring, and aligns with the subsystem's established terminology to minimize cognitive overhead during feature addition.

Pattern-matching helps add new modules by discovering analogous existing features and extracting their structural conventions. This frontmatter-driven discovery ensures the new code integrates cleanly with the project's established architecture and design patterns.

Yes, you can use this workflow for both CLI commands and API handlers because it applies across feature types and subsystems. It provides a repeatable process for scaffolding and wiring any new functionality into the CocoSearch architecture.

Steps to scaffold code include discovering similar analogs within the indexer, extracting naming and placement conventions, planning integration points, and implementing the feature following established templates to ensure consistent project growth.
