Individual skill
prior-work-retrieval
Only for explicit prior-work/reuse/history requests, not status checks. Finds and verifies existing work before new production when reuse is plausible. Use when the user explicitly references earlier work, existing code, history, or prior decisions, or says 以前做过, 已有代码, 别重复造轮子. Not for current tests, files, bug fixes, or mechanical verification. Produces a reuse/adapt/reject receipt; zero hits never prove absence.

# Prior Work Retrieval
Run this before substantial production **only when the trigger above is present**. Read-only
current-state checks stay direct unless the user asks for history. Its job is not to generate another
summary. Its job is to answer: **what already exists, which source is current,
what should be reused, and what remains genuinely new?**
**Not for**: current-file inspection, ordinary bug fixes, mechanical verification, or a task
merely because the final answer happens to be a report/summary. A mention of current/现有 tests,
README, files, implementation, behavior, or validation is not by itself a prior-work request. Do
not infer the trigger merely because new work might duplicate something — that risk alone does not
make a request explicit.
