analyze-agent-overlap

analyze-agent-overlap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JBurlison/WoWAddonAPIAgents. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,278 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review tool for AI coding-assistant agents, skills, prompts, and instruction files. It compares customization files from providers such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before adding a new customization file, when consolidating existing agents, or when investigating conflicting behavior.
Why use it?
It helps find duplicated responsibilities and conflicting instructions before they cause confusing agent behavior or unnecessary files.

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

analyze-agent-overlap 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.

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.

Analyze Agent Overlap

Detects redundancy, overlap, and potential conflicts between AI coding assistant customization files.

Provider Folder Reference

This skill works across multiple AI coding assistant providers:

Provider Base Folder
GitHub Copilot .github/
Claude Code .claude/
Codex .codex/
OpenCode .config/opencode/

Throughout this document, <provider>/ represents your chosen provider's base folder.

When to Use

  • Before creating a new agent, skill, prompt, or instruction
  • When you suspect two agents are doing similar things
  • To audit and consolidate your customization files
  • When agent behaviors seem to conflict

Analysis Process

Step 1: Inventory Existing Items

Scan these locations (replace <provider>/ with actual folder):

  • <provider>/agents/*.md - All agent definitions (including .subagent.agent.md)
  • <provider>/skills/*/SKILL.md - All skill definitions
  • <provider>/prompts/*.prompt.md - All prompt templates
  • <provider>/instructions/*.instructions.md - All instruction files

For each item, extract:

  • Name: The identifier
  • Purpose: What problem it solves (from description)
  • Domain: What areas/topics it covers
  • Triggers: Keywords or scenarios that activate it
  • User-Invokable: Whether it's a user-facing agent or sub-agent

Step 2: Compare Against Proposed Item

When analyzing a proposed new item, compare:

Direct Overlap Indicators:

  • Same or very similar name
  • Same primary purpose statement
  • Identical target domain
  • Overlapping trigger keywords (>50% match)

Partial Overlap Indicators:

  • Related but distinct purposes
  • Some shared expertise areas
  • Similar but different trigger scenarios
  • Complementary functionality

No Overlap Indicators:

  • Different domains entirely
  • Non-overlapping use cases
  • Distinct trigger keywords

Step 3: Detect Conflicts

Look for these conflict types:

Behavioral Conflicts:

  • Two agents giving contradictory guidance for same scenario
  • Instructions that override each other for same file patterns
  • Skills that produce incompatible outputs

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.
