pattern-validator

What problem does it solve?

It helps you verify whether an unfamiliar implementation pattern matches common community practice, or whether it carries avoidable trade-offs or correctness risks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pattern clarification before research: Turns your concern into a concrete, searchable description (what, why, and which library/service).
• Fast, targeted validation: Performs 1–2 focused web searches for official docs, GitHub discussions/issues, or high-signal explanations.
• Verdict-based guidance with guardrails: Classifies findings as NORMAL, CAUTION, or RED FLAG, then instructs what to do next (proceed, document trade-offs, or stop and recommend an alternative).
• Audit integration: Supports the accommodation-tracker workflow by logging CAUTION/RED FLAG outcomes for re-use and to avoid re-research.

Quick Start

Invoke pattern-validator to validate a pattern like “I’m using X workaround because of Y limitation in Z,” and ask for a NORMAL/CAUTION/RED FLAG verdict with evidence and next steps.
