github-build-or-reuse
Search GitHub and the open-source ecosystem before substantial implementation, then verify fit, license, maintenance, security, governance and adoption cost and decide USE, CONTRIBUTE, FORK or BUILD. Trigger before implementing non-trivial apps, services, libraries, plugins or feature-level capabilities that may already be solved, including auth, payments, scraping, browser automation, notifications, search/RAG, observability, GitHub automation, media processing/transcription, queues, schedulers, rate limiting and workflow engines. Also use for GitHub/open-source alternatives, repository comparisons, build-vs-reuse decisions, or when deciding whether to adopt, contribute to, fork or rebuild an existing project.
