Instructions 1. First Step: Scan the codebase for duplicated JSX blocks or near-identical functions using `grep`, `ripgrep`, or AST comparison. 2. Second Step: Propose a refactor plan: extract a Molecule, a utility function in `src/utils`, or move a hook into `src/hooks`. 3. Third Step: Provide a code diff or patch demonstrating the extraction and update imports across affected files. Examples - Extracting a `UserAvatarWithMeta` molecule used in two different organisms. Notes - Prefer small, incremental refactors and keep tests passing after each change. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/cargdev) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
