Prior Art Researcher

关于

Prior Art Researcher streamlines the discovery phase of software development by searching through GitHub, npm, PyPI, and other package ecosystems to identify how others have solved specific technical problems. It automatically infers your project's technology stack to find relevant examples, evaluates repositories based on implementation trade-offs, and provides a structured synthesis of patterns to help you decide whether to adopt an existing library or build a custom solution from scratch.

主要功能

• Deep-dive analysis of READMEs and source code using specialized Task agents
• 5 GitHub stars
• Automated ecosystem inference based on current project language and framework
• Structured synthesis reports highlighting common patterns and implementation trade-offs
• Parallel searches across GitHub, npm, PyPI, crates.io, and Go package registries
• Adaptive search depth that expands investigation if initial results are insufficient

使用场景

• Exploring common implementation patterns for a new problem space before coding
• Evaluating whether to build a custom feature or use an existing open-source library
• Performing technical landscape analysis to identify industry-standard solutions
