finding-duplicate-functions

finding-duplicate-functions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from haojing8312/WorkClaw. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,059 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of finding-duplicate-functions, Apache-2.0.

A code-audit process for finding functions that have the same purpose even when their names and code differ. It first extracts functions, then groups and reviews them with language models.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a growing codebase, especially one built by multiple people or language models, and produce a report of likely duplicate functions.
Why use it?
It reveals duplicated logic that ordinary copy-and-paste detectors may miss. This helps identify code that could be consolidated before refactoring.

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

finding-duplicate-functions 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/extract-functions.sh, scripts/generate-report.sh, scripts/prepare-category-analysis.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Finding Duplicate-Intent Functions

Overview

LLM-generated codebases accumulate semantic duplicates: functions that serve the same purpose but were implemented independently. Classical copy-paste detectors (jscpd) find syntactic duplicates but miss "same intent, different implementation."

This skill uses a two-phase approach: classical extraction followed by LLM-powered intent clustering.

When to Use

  • Codebase has grown organically with multiple contributors (human or LLM)
  • You suspect utility functions have been reimplemented multiple times
  • Before major refactoring to identify consolidation opportunities
  • After jscpd has been run and syntactic duplicates are already handled

Quick Reference

Phase Tool Model Output
1. Extract scripts/extract-functions.sh - catalog.json
2. Categorize scripts/categorize-prompt.md haiku categorized.json
3. Split scripts/prepare-category-analysis.sh - categories/*.json
4. Detect scripts/find-duplicates-prompt.md opus duplicates/*.json
5. Report scripts/generate-report.sh - report.md

Process

digraph duplicate_detection {
  rankdir=TB;
  node [shape=box];

  extract [label="1. Extract function catalog\n./scripts/extract-functions.sh"];
  categorize [label="2. Categorize by domain\n(haiku subagent)"];
  split [label="3. Split into categories\n./scripts/prepare-category-analysis.sh"];
  detect [label="4. Find duplicates per category\n(opus subagent per category)"];
  report [label="5. Generate report\n./scripts/generate-report.sh"];
  review [label="6. Human review & consolidate"];

  extract -> categorize -> split -> detect -> report -> review;
}

Phase 1: Extract Function Catalog

./scripts/extract-functions.sh src/ -o catalog.json

Options:

  • -o FILE: Output file (default: stdout)
  • -c N: Lines of context to capture (default: 15)
  • -t GLOB: File types (default: *.ts,*.tsx,*.js,*.jsx)
  • --include-tests: Include test files (excluded by default)

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
