Every team has utilities, patterns, and conventions. The problem? Nobody remembers them all.
You're about to write something that already exists — why reinvent the wheel?
Your team has a way of doing things — this code does it differently
Same concepts with different names, or different concepts with the same name
There's a better abstraction hiding in your codebase — use it
Real suggestions from Consistency Checker
// New code in UserProfile.tsx
function formatDate(date: Date): string {
const day = date.getDate().toString().padStart(2, '0')
const month = (date.getMonth() + 1).toString().padStart(2, '0')
const year = date.getFullYear()
return `${day}/${month}/${year}`
}Reinventing formatDate — you have this in lib/date-utils.ts
// Use existing utility
import { formatDate } from '@/lib/date-utils'
// Already handles localization, timezones, and edge cases
formatDate(date, 'short')Reuse existing utility that handles edge cases
// Inconsistent error handling
try {
const data = await fetchUser(id)
return data
} catch (e) {
console.error(e)
return null
}Different error handling than rest of codebase
// Matches team pattern
import { withErrorHandler } from '@/lib/api'
const data = await withErrorHandler(
() => fetchUser(id),
{ fallback: null, context: 'UserProfile' }
)Use team's established error handling pattern
// Custom loading state
{isLoading ? (
<div className="flex items-center justify-center p-8">
<div className="animate-spin rounded-full h-8 w-8 border-b-2 border-primary" />
</div>
) : (
<UserList users={users} />
)}Custom spinner — you have LoadingState component
// Use shared component
import { LoadingState } from '@/components/ui/loading-state'
<LoadingState isLoading={isLoading}>
<UserList users={users} />
</LoadingState>Reuse shared component for consistent UX
