A read-only tool for finding duplicate Excel rows using one column or a combination of columns. It reports the duplicate Excel row numbers and does not change the workbook.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find repeated entries by a key such as a patent number, choose whether the first or last occurrence should remain, and produce row numbers for review or deletion.
Why use it?
It identifies repeated records without risking edits to the original file. The results can then be used to decide which duplicates should be removed.

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

excel-find-duplicates 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 11d 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.

This skill is read-only, no side effects. Follows [[excel-safe-workflow]] Scout→Analyze two-step approach. 本技能只读不写,安全无副作用。遵循 [[excel-safe-workflow]] 勘察→分析两步。

Excel Find Duplicates (Read-only) / Excel 查重(只读)

Function / 功能

  1. Scan for duplicate rows by specified column(s) (or multi-column combination) / 按指定列(或多列联合)扫描重复行
  2. Output duplicate statistics and row number list / 输出重复统计和行号列表
  3. Results can be directly passed to [[excel-delete]] for deletion / 结果可直接传给 [[excel-delete]] 执行删除

Step 0: Requirement Parsing / 第零步:需求解析

Element / 要素 Common Phrasing / 常见表述 Default / 默认值
Key Column(s) / 关键列 "By patent number" / "Column E" / "按专利号查""E列" Must be explicit / 必须明确
Keep Strategy / 保留策略 "Keep first" / "Keep latest" / "保留第一个""保留最新的" Keep first occurrence / 保留首次出现
Output Format / 输出格式 Directly return row number list / 直接返回行号列表 Excel row numbers / Excel 行号

Step 1: Scout (Read-only Scan) / 第一步:勘察(只读扫描)

import pandas as pd

FILE = 'target.xlsx' / FILE = '目标文件.xlsx'
KEY_COL = 'Column Name / 列名'      # Key column name / 关键列名
KEEP = 'first'        # 'first'=keep first occurrence / 保留首次 / 'last'=keep last / 保留末次

# pandas efficient read (C engine, seconds-level) / pandas 高效读取(C引擎,秒级)
df = pd.read_excel(FILE)

total = len(df)
mask = df[KEY_COL].duplicated(keep=KEEP)
dup_indices = df.index[mask].tolist()
dup_excel_rows = [i + 2 for i in dup_indices]  # +2: pandas 0-index → Excel row number (row 1=header) / pandas 0-index → Excel行号(第1行=表头)

print(f'Total rows: {total} / 总行数: {total}')
print(f'Unique values: {total - len(dup_excel_rows)} / 唯一值: {total - len(dup_excel_rows)}')
print(f'Duplicate rows: {len(dup_excel_rows)} ({len(dup_excel_rows)/total*100:.1f}%) / 重复行: {len(dup_excel_rows)}')
print(f'Row range: {min(dup_excel_rows)} ~ {max(dup_excel_rows)}' if dup_excel_rows else 'No duplicates / 无重复')

Multi-Column Joint Dedup / 多列联合查重

KEY_COLS = ['Col1 / 列名1', 'Col2 / 列名2']  # Multi-column joint / 多列联合
mask = df.duplicated(subset=KEY_COLS, keep=KEEP)

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.
