dedupe-issue-local

To identify duplicate issues in a repository, this skill applies repository-specific guidance to normalize issue titles, compare supporting evidence, and track known duplicate clusters for accurate detection.

Issue deduplication uses detailed comparison logic for terminal, agent, and UI rendering issues to prevent false positives and avoid collapsing distinct issue surfaces into a single duplicate cluster.

Yes, you need the core dedupe-issue skill as a prerequisite. This local skill specializes the core deduplication logic by adding repository-specific normalization rules and comparison guidelines.

The best way to manage duplicate issue clusters is by tracking known groups during deduplication, which streamlines manual review and increases repository management efficiency for future reference.

Issue titles are normalized for duplicate detection by stripping irrelevant prefixes, allowing the comparison logic to focus on the core problem and supporting evidence to accurately identify duplicates.
