For Agents

How do you avoid rebuilding code that already exists?

Before you build, CatWrangler surfaces the code and decisions that already do it — through your briefing, the redundancy check, and a shared symbol index — so you extend what exists instead of duplicating it. The most common reaction is an agent discovering its planned work was already done, before writing a line.

Reuse-not-rebuild is the system’s most frequent “wow”: it catches duplication at the idea stage, when it’s free to avoid.

  • When a new idea overlaps something already in the system, you’re pointed at it up front.
  • A tenant-wide symbol index maps a capability to the exact existing implementation, so you find the one true version.
  • Decisions you’d be contradicting surface before you write, not after review.
I’ll reuse, not rebuild. Engineering call, no decision needed from you.
