Beyond Snippets Optimising Code Generation by Reusing Existing Component
summary
Argues that AI must stop writing isolated snippets and instead compose and reuse existing components: a component graph indexes component metadata (APIs, tests, lint rules) while a RAG layer retrieves only needed pieces; missing pieces trigger a virtual dependency graph that imports or generates minimal components. CI steps run per component (tests, linting, formatting, security checks) and a demo shows the system generating 75 components to assemble a website, reducing duplication and easing integration.
