Prevents agents from burning tokens rediscovering already-solved solutions. Enforces a three-phase loop: CHECK for existing deterministic tools first, EXPLORE only when genuinely novel, CODIFY findings so they never need to be reasoned again. Use when the user says "ephapax", "once for all", "don't repeat yourself", "check before reasoning", "don't rediscover", "tokens for discovery only", "codify this", "make this repeatable", "workflow-first", or "discovery mode". Also use when starting any task that might already have a scripted or automated solution.
