finding-code-patterns

To find similar code patterns across repositories, this skill searches the codebase to discover existing implementations and concrete examples. It then groups findings by pattern type and provides concise notes with file references to inform design decisions.

The best way to discover reusable code implementations is to search for similar patterns across files and modules. This approach surfaces multiple candidates grouped by pattern type, complete with references and testing notes when available.

You find code references and sample tests by searching the codebase for similar implementations. The results include concrete examples grouped by pattern, highlighting file references and available sample tests or usage references to validate the patterns.

Yes, you can search for code patterns across multiple files and modules. The skill identifies similar patterns throughout the codebase, groups them by pattern type, and includes concise notes with file references to reduce code duplication.

Finding code patterns requires no specific dependencies or environment setup. The skill operates independently to search the current codebase, identify similar implementations across files, and group them by pattern type with references.

You should not search for code patterns when no existing implementations exist in the codebase or when the task requires entirely novel architecture. The skill is designed to find and group existing reusable patterns with references rather than generate new code.
