What problem does it solve?
The Dedup Task Creator provides a structured approach to generate a new deduplication workflow that scans for exact duplicates across tasks and overlapping work, enabling automated cleanup and corrections within a multi-task project.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Scan tasks//assets/paper/ to detect papers with identical paper_id across tasks.
- Run cross-paper similarity checks (DOI or near-duplicate titles) to surface duplicates.
- Compare active suggestions across tasks to identify overlaps and remediation opportunities.
- Determine the canonical copy (earliest date_added, then lowest task_id) and generate paper corrections to delete extras.
- Create suggestion corrections to reject duplicates and ensure consistency across the project.
- Validate corrections with verify_corrections and re-run aggregators to confirm changes are applied.
- Use this skill when cleaning up duplicated work or overlaps in a multi-task research project.
