duplicate-code-check Review a branch or merge-request diff for newly introduced, meaningful code duplication. Use when a user asks about repeated logic or copy-paste code in a diff.

duplicate-code-check

Inputs

Source branch or MR and target branch; use the repository default base only after reporting it.

Workflow

  1. Obtain the merge-base diff and list files examined.
  2. Compare changed blocks with nearby and existing code; distinguish deliberate repetition, generated code, and test fixtures.
  3. Report evidenced candidates with both locations, similarity, maintenance risk, and a proportionate suggestion.

Rules

  • Do not modify or remove code without explicit approval.
  • Do not label repeated literals alone as duplication without a maintenance consequence.
  • Report scope limits and skipped generated files.

Output

Return a Markdown table: candidate, locations, evidence, confidence, risk, suggested next step.
