similar

A code search command that finds methods with similar implementation or purpose to a method you name.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare methods, investigate possible duplicates, and find alternative implementations.
Why use it?
It helps discover related code that may be duplicated or may implement the same idea in a different way.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 123 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

similar 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 2d ago.

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 methods similar to: $ARGUMENTS

Steps:

  1. Run ai-code-graph similar "$ARGUMENTS" --top 10 --db ./ai-code-graph/graph.db
  2. If the database doesn't exist, inform the user to run ai-code-graph analyze first
  3. Present the ranked list of similar methods with their similarity scores
  4. For high-similarity matches (>0.8), suggest whether they might be duplicates worth consolidating
  5. For moderate matches (0.5-0.8), note they share similar intent but different implementations

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.

similar is a command published in the GitHub repository sakrut/ai-code-graph (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 123 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
