This Skill helps developers avoid reinventing the wheel by promoting a research-first approach to coding, ensuring that existing solutions are explored before custom code is written.
Before starting a new feature, run the researcher agent with the prompt: "Research existing tools for: [DESCRIPTION] Language/framework: [LANG] Constraints: [ANY]"

To find existing libraries before writing custom code, use a research-first workflow that searches npm, MCP servers, and GitHub for existing solutions. This approach provides a structured process to evaluate and leverage tools before implementation.
A research-first coding workflow is the practice of searching for existing solutions and patterns before implementing custom code. You should use it in any development scenario where leveraging existing tools can improve efficiency and maintainability.
To choose between adopting or building a solution, apply a decision matrix that evaluates existing tools against your project requirements. This matrix helps determine whether to adopt, extend, or build custom code based on constraints.
Yes, you need access to npm, MCP servers, Claude Code skills, and GitHub to search for existing development tools. These platforms provide the search capabilities required to discover and evaluate libraries and patterns.
Yes, you can integrate research-first practices with planner, architect, and iterative-retrieval agents. These integration points provide comprehensive support throughout the software development lifecycle.
The best way to start researching existing tools is to run the researcher agent with a prompt specifying your feature description, programming language or framework, and any project constraints to receive targeted tool recommendations.
