Search First

Before you write that HTTP wrapper or markdown processor, this systematizes the "check if it already exists" step most of us skip when we're moving fast. It walks through package registries, MCP servers, existing skills, and GitHub before you commit to custom code. The decision matrix is practical: adopt if there's a solid match, extend if it's 80% there, build only when search comes up empty. Works inline for quick checks or spins up a researcher agent for deeper dives. The real value is in the integration points with planner and architect agents, turning "I'll just write it" into actual due diligence. Includes search shortcuts for common categories like linting, AI tooling, and data validation.
