Does this skill suggest improvements to my existing code?

No, this skill is a documentation tool designed to show existing patterns exactly as they are without offering critique, judgment, or alternative suggestions.

Will it show different ways the same thing is implemented?

Yes, it identifies variations and multiple approaches to the same problem if they exist, noting which patterns are most common in the codebase.

Can it help me write unit tests?

Yes, it specifically searches for testing patterns, mock strategies, and assertion styles used elsewhere in your codebase to help you write consistent tests.

How does the skill find patterns in a large codebase?

It utilizes advanced search strategies including Grep, Glob, and file listing to identify keywords, structural similarities, and feature implementations relevant to your request.

Does it provide the file location of the patterns it finds?

Yes, all findings include the full file path and specific line numbers so you can easily reference the original context in your editor.

Learning & Documentation

Locates and documents existing code patterns and implementations within your codebase to provide concrete templates for new work.

About

The Code Pattern Finder skill acts as a non-judgmental librarian for your repository, identifying similar implementations, usage examples, and established structural patterns to serve as models for new development. It helps developers maintain consistency by surfacing exactly how features, API structures, and testing strategies are already handled across the project. By providing real-world snippets with file and line references without editorializing, it allows teams to follow existing conventions and avoid reinventing the wheel.

Key Features

Locates similar implementations and usage examples across the repository
Identifies both common and alternative architectural approaches used in-situ
Extracts reusable patterns for APIs, data structures, and components
Provides concrete code snippets with precise file paths and line numbers
3 GitHub stars
Surfaces existing testing patterns to ensure consistent test coverage

Use Cases

Finding the established pattern for implementing a new paginated API endpoint
Aligning a new feature's error handling with existing codebase conventions
Understanding the naming and structural conventions for database migrations
