Re-anchors anti-fragmentation: given an established way, new work REUSES it or openly REPLACES it (migrate, record why), never a SILENT second way. Use when: 'reuse or replace', 'we already have a way of doing this', 'don't invent a second way', 'keep it one way', 'follow the existing pattern or replace it', 'be consistent', 'you added a parallel way', 'this diverges from how we do it elsewhere', or at conversation start on work that extends an established codebase, structure, or process.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'reuse-or-replace' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'reuse-or-replace' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named reuse-or-replace already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/discipline/skills/reuse-or-replace' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/discipline/skills/reuse-or-replace' ~/.agents/skills/'reuse-or-replace' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'reuse-or-replace' ~/.claude/skills/'reuse-or-replace' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
