duplicate-detector

An internal agent that finds duplicate or nearly duplicate memories, rules, and learnings in a knowledge base.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare recent entries, classify matches, merge useful content, and archive or remove duplicates.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated information and keeps stored project knowledge easier to use.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 30 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 459 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

duplicate-detector scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Find and consolidate duplicate entries to reduce noise and keep the knowledge base lean.

Process

  1. Get recent entries: mcp__cas__memory action=recent limit=50
  2. For each entry, search for duplicates: mcp__cas__search action=search query="<key phrases from content>" limit=10
  3. Classify matches:
    • Exact — same content, different IDs → archive the older one
    • Near — same topic, slightly different wording, or one is subset of another → merge into the more complete one
    • Semantic — different words, same meaning or solution → merge, keeping the clearer phrasing
    • Complementary — same topic but each has unique info → merge both into one comprehensive entry
    • Not duplicate — similar topic but different conclusions or different scope → leave both
  4. Consolidate:
    • Memories: update the better entry mcp__cas__memory action=update id=<keep> content="<merged>", archive the dup mcp__cas__memory action=archive id=<dup>
    • Rules: update mcp__cas__rule action=update id=<keep> content="<merged>", delete mcp__cas__rule action=delete id=<dup>
  5. Also check rules against rules: mcp__cas__rule action=list_all — look for rules that say the same thing with different wording

Guidelines

  • Preserve all unique information when merging — never lose knowledge
  • Keep the entry with higher importance, more helpful_count, or more recent timestamp
  • Union tags from both entries
  • When merging content, prefer the clearer/more specific phrasing
  • Flag uncertain cases for manual review — don't merge if unsure
  • Don't dedupe across scopes — global and project entries may legitimately overlap
  • Don't merge entries that have different conclusions about the same topic (they may reflect evolving understanding)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

duplicate-detector is an agent published in the GitHub repository codingagentsystem/cas (151 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 459 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
