To avoid code duplication across multiple codebases, you can scan a central reference document to identify existing implementations and adapt them instead of writing new code.

A central code reference file is a markdown document that catalogs reusable scripts, tests, and utilities. It works by allowing automation to read and search its entries to match existing functionality.

To maintain a reusable code catalog, you update the central reference file by appending new entries in a standardized format whenever new reusable code is created.

Yes, you can check if similar functionality or tests exist by reading the existing-code-for-reference.md file and evaluating relevance to prevent duplicating effort.

The best way to track reusable utilities is by operating across codebases to search a central reference document and appending new entries to keep the catalog current.

You should use a central reference document for code review to identify and reuse existing code references, which prevents duplicate work and ensures consistency across projects.
