search-first

Research-before-coding workflow: search npm/PyPI, MCP servers, skills

search-first is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It makes an agent look for existing solutions before it writes custom code. The workflow searches npm, PyPI, MCP servers, skills and GitHub for tools that already do the job, and then the agent chooses to adopt one, extend it, or build something new. It is triggered when a new feature probably has existing solutions, when a dependency or integration is about to be added, when a user asks for some functionality and the agent is about to write it, and before a new utility, helper or abstraction is created. The aim is to avoid reinventing libraries that are already maintained. Because it is a SKILL.md file of instructions, an AI agent loads it at those points in a task. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows a Snyk warning, with Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket passing.
