+  Reuse lower-level SIL libraries before writing custom helpers in FieldWorks.
+  Use this whenever a task touches file or directory I/O, locked-file retries,
+  paths or URIs, writing systems, keyboards, LCM caches/project IDs/service
+  locators, linked files/media/config paths, localization, LIFT/import/export,
+  FLExBridge or Chorus sync/merge flows, analytics/telemetry, morphology or
+  NLP, scripture/Paratext integration, or SIL test helpers. Even for small
+   fixes, check the package families and repo patterns here first. If any
+   guidance here proves inaccurate or stale, revalidate against current
+   FieldWorks package references, local package metadata, and upstream repos,
+   then update this skill so it stays current.
+---
+
+# SIL Library Reuse
+
+FieldWorks already depends on SIL packages that solve many of the "small
+helper" problems agents are tempted to rebuild. Start here before adding new
+filesystem wrappers, cache bootstraps, writing-system plumbing, localization
+hooks, bridge calls, or parser code.
+
+## Staying Current
+
+If you find this to be inaccurate, treat that as a maintenance signal, not a
+reason to ignore the skill. SIL package versions, upstream repo layouts, and
+public API names change over time. Revalidate the claim against the current
+FieldWorks package references, installed package metadata, local usage, and
+upstream repos, then update this skill in the same change when practical. If
+you cannot update it, call out the stale item clearly in your final response.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Identify the package family from the touched namespace or project file. If
+   the package or version is unclear, check
+   [Directory.Packages.props](../../../Directory.Packages.props) and
+   [Build/SilVersions.props](../../../Build/SilVersions.props).
+2. Search FieldWorks first for the concrete helper or namespace and copy the
+   existing local pattern.
+3. If local usage is thin or the name is unfamiliar, open the upstream repo
+   links below. Do not assume Context7 covers these packages well.
+4. Prefer the library helper over custom code when it already handles retries,
+   path normalization, cache setup, localization metadata, sync boundaries, or
+   corpus parsing.
+5. Keep FieldWorks constraints intact: .NET Framework 4.8, C# 7.3, `.resx` for
+   user-facing strings, registration-free COM, and repo build/test scripts.

+### `machine`
+
+Packages:
+`SIL.Machine`, `SIL.Machine.Morphology.HermitCrab`
+
+Use for:
+morphology, feature-structure-based NLP, text corpora, USFM/USX parsing, and
+alignment. Direct FieldWorks usage is light today; consult this before
+inventing parser or analysis code.
+
+Main APIs to look for first:

+- `XmlLanguageLoader`
+- `TraceManager`

+
+### `Paratext`
+
+Packages:
+`SIL.ParatextShared`, `ParatextData`
+
+Use for:
+Scripture project access, verse references, plugin integration, USFM tokens,
+and Paratext interoperability.
+
+FieldWorks usage anchors:
+
+- [Src/Common/ScriptureUtils/ScriptureUtilsTests/ParatextHelperTests.cs](../../../Src/Common/ScriptureUtils/ScriptureUtilsTests/ParatextHelperTests.cs)
+- `Paratext8Plugin` projects and helpers
+
+Important caveat:
+`SIL.ParatextShared` source for the legacy package used by FieldWorks is not
+publicly available. Use the public docs and demo plugins instead of hunting
+for a missing source tree.
+
+Public docs and references:
+
+- [Paratext demo plugins](https://github.com/ubsicap/paratext_demo_plugins)
+- [Full API documentation wiki](https://github.com/ubsicap/paratext_demo_plugins/wiki/Full-API-Documentation)
+- [SIL.ParatextShared 7.4.0.1](https://www.nuget.org/packages/SIL.ParatextShared/7.4.0.1)
+
+Useful API names in the public docs:
+
+- `IProject`
+- `IReadOnlyProject`
+- `IVerseRef`
+- `IUSFMToken`
+- `IUSFMMarkerToken`
+- `IScriptureTextSelection`
+- `IBiblicalTerm`
+- `IProjectNote`
+
+## Biases To Keep
+
+- Prefer `RobustIO` or `RobustFile` over ad hoc delete/retry loops.
+- Prefer `LcmCache`, `TestProjectId`, `ServiceLocator.GetInstance<T>()`, and
+  `LcmFileHelper` over custom LCM bootstrapping or path math.
+- Prefer `LocalizationManagerWinforms` over ad hoc runtime localization state.
+- Prefer `FLExBridgeHelper` over direct IPC calls from new UI code.
+- Prefer existing analytics calls or wrappers over one-off telemetry clients.
+- When a repo search comes up empty, switch from keyword search to
+  symbol/reference navigation before deciding the helper does not exist.
