Issue Check Duplicates
Searches related issues before creating a new one to avoid duplicates and surface related work.
When to use
- Before creating a new issue
- When refining an idea that might overlap existing work
Instructions
- Extract key terms from the idea (feature name, bug area, component).
- Run
gh issue list --repo OWNER/REPO --state open --limit 50or with--search "term1 term2". - Run
gh issue list --repo OWNER/REPO --state closed --limit 20for recently closed. - Compare titles and bodies; note overlaps, supersedes, or related issues.
- Report: list related issue numbers and recommendation (proceed / merge / close as duplicate).
Example
gh issue list --repo pkuppens/on_prem_rag --search "BM25 retrieval" --state all --limit 10
Output
- No overlap: Proceed with new issue.
- Partial overlap: Link related issues in new issue body; narrow scope.
- Duplicate: Do not create; comment on existing issue or close duplicate.
