reference-first
From the author
Use when about to design or build an API, database schema, test strategy, CI pipeline, architecture, library integration or any feature that plausibly exists already as open source, a public standard or a well-known product's published design, and no proven reference has been named yet.

- test-firstNoobyGains/godmodeUse when implementing a feature, fixing a bug, refactoring, or changing behaviour in any codebase, before writing the production code that does it.Testing★ 114
- design-firstrohitg00/skillkitGuides the creation of technical design documents before writing code, producing architecture diagrams, data models, API interface definitions, implementation plans, and multi-option trade-off analyses. Use when the user asks to plan a feature, architect a system, design an API, explore implementation approaches, or requests a technical design or spec before coding — especially for complex features involving multiple components, ambiguous requirements, or significant architectural changes.Design★ 1.6K
- architecture-feature-firstevanca/flutter-ai-rulesUse when creating a feature, designing folder structure, adding repositories/services/view models, wiring dependency injection, or deciding which layer owns logic.Planning★ 662
- reuse-before-buildAi-Eastern/reuse-before-buildReuse-first decision gate for coding work. Before building, check whether the project, its platform, its installed dependencies, or a well-evidenced open-source project already provides what is needed, then decide Take, Borrow, or Build from evidence actually read. Use it whenever a task involves choosing an architecture, library, framework, or component; implementing a non-trivial feature, helper, or integration that may already exist; adding, extending, or checking tests; or resuming engineering work from a handoff, checkpoint, or compacted context, even if the user never mentions reuse. Skip it for typos, renames, and other small local edits.Testing★ 99
- reference-documentationNickCrew/Claude-CortexCreate exhaustive technical references, API documentation, and searchable reference materials. Use when building API docs, configuration references, or complete technical specifications.Planning★ 61
- reference-searcherArabelaTso/Skills-4-SESystematic external reference searching across documentation, open-source repositories, and web resources. Use when working with unfamiliar libraries, APIs, or when needing production-quality implementation examples.Other★ 259
