Content Bank

Bank and retrieve reusable content for writing and coding—ideas, snippets, outlines, and code patterns—organized by topic.

Capabilities

When to Use

Proactively offer to store when detecting:

• •Well-crafted paragraphs with standalone value
• •Structural patterns that could template future writing
• •Useful code patterns worth preserving
• •Legacy code being replaced that has reuse value

Proactively offer to retrieve when:

• •Starting a new piece where relevant banked content may exist
• •Facing a problem that might have a banked solution

Auto-Initialization

Before any store/retrieve/list operation, check if content-bank/topics.md exists. If not, create it with the initial template to set up the content bank structure.
