FAQPage Schema

How do I identify and clean up duplicate Shortcut stories in my backlog?▼

To identify duplicate Shortcut stories, you can run a hygiene sweep that surfaces potential matches one pair at a time. This allows you to review the full content of each story and enforce a human-in-the-loop decision to archive, merge, link, or relate them.

What is the best way to catch duplicate Shortcut stories after a bulk import?▼

The best way to catch duplicate Shortcut stories after a bulk import is to apply a semantic review process. It presents candidate pairs sequentially for evaluation, ensuring duplicates are triaged accurately without overwhelming the reviewer.

How does the human-in-the-loop review process work for Shortcut story duplicates?▼

The human-in-the-loop review process works by presenting one pair of potential duplicate Shortcut stories at a time. You examine the full content and manually decide whether to archive, merge, link, or relate the stories, ensuring no automated mutations occur without approval.

Can I automate the merging of duplicate Shortcut stories without manual review?▼

No, you cannot automate the merging of duplicate Shortcut stories without manual review. The process enforces strict mutation safeguards and requires a human-in-the-loop decision to preserve provenance and update related story links safely.

Does this duplicate story detection rely on semantic checks or exact text matching?▼

Duplicate story detection relies on semantic checks to identify similar Shortcut stories. This approach surfaces candidate pairs that share underlying meaning, helping you catch duplicates even when the exact wording differs.
