| description | Find implementation examples and design patterns in the codebase. Use when user asks "how to implement X", "how does this project do X", "show me examples of X", "where is X implemented", or needs to follow existing code conventions. |
Pattern Finder
When to Use
Trigger this skill when the user:
- Asks how to implement a specific feature
- Wants to see existing implementation examples
- Needs to follow project conventions
- Asks "how does this project do X"
- Asks "show me examples of X"
Instructions
- Identify what pattern the user is looking for
- Run
/sourceatlas:pattern "<pattern>" with the relevant pattern name
- Returns best example files with line numbers and implementation guide
Common Patterns
- API endpoints:
/sourceatlas:pattern "api endpoint"
- Authentication:
/sourceatlas:pattern "authentication"
- Database queries:
/sourceatlas:pattern "database query"
- Background jobs:
/sourceatlas:pattern "background job"
- File uploads:
/sourceatlas:pattern "file upload"
- Error handling:
/sourceatlas:pattern "error handling"
- Validation:
/sourceatlas:pattern "validation"
- Testing:
/sourceatlas:pattern "unit test"
What User Gets
- Best example files with exact line numbers
- Standard implementation flow
- Key conventions to follow
- Common pitfalls to avoid
- Testing patterns
Example Triggers
- "How do I add a new API endpoint?"
- "Show me how authentication works here"
- "Where can I find examples of database queries?"
- "How does this project handle errors?"
