finding-duplicate-functions

To find semantic duplicate functions in a TypeScript codebase, use a two-phase pipeline that extracts a function catalog with ripgrep and applies LLM-driven categorization to identify independently implemented functions sharing the same purpose, outputting a prioritized markdown report.

Auditing LLM-generated JavaScript code for duplicate logic involves running an extraction script to build a function catalog, followed by LLM-driven categorization that surfaces semantic duplicates to help teams prioritize consolidation and reduce maintenance burden.

Yes, you need ripgrep and jq installed in a POSIX shell environment to run the provided shell scripts for duplicate function detection, which parse source files and generate categorized JSON outputs and markdown reports.

Yes, you can use this duplicate function detection approach for pre-merge code review, as it identifies semantic duplicates across JavaScript and TypeScript files to help teams prepare consolidation proposals and improve test coverage before merging.

Scanning for semantic code duplication generates catalog.json, categorized.json, per-category inputs, duplicate group outputs, and a prioritized markdown report that details independently implemented functions serving the same purpose.
