No API key. No sign-up. Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Codex, Windsurf, and any other agent that speaks MCP.
Your coding agent will happily rewrite a PDF parser for you. It'll take twenty minutes and it'll look completely correct.
It won't be. PDF parsing is years of edge cases that appear in no spec: broken xref tables, CID fonts with no ToUnicode map. The same goes for timezone math, OAuth, Unicode normalization, container muxing, and rate limiting under contention. You find out in production.
The opposite trap is just as common: pulling in a dependency to save twenty lines of glue.
Search can't help. It ranks by popularity, not fit, so the right small library stays buried on page four. And when a model will write anything in twenty minutes, rebuilding feels free, so nobody looks first.
Kitbash is the ten-second judgment a senior developer makes before writing anything, turned into a tool. It doesn't make you ship faster. It makes you ship less. Four components you never build beat four components you build quickly.
Every part of your idea gets one verdict:
| Verdict | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟢 BORROW | A maintained library exists and the correctness was hard-won. Rewriting it is the mistake. Take the dependency. |
| 🟡 KITBASH | A good reference exists but isn't a clean fit. Read it, adapt the approach, leave the dependency. |
| 🔵 WRITE | Generic enough that your agent should just write it. A component you never take on is one you never maintain. |
