Duplicate Code Detector FAQs

Question 1

What metrics are included in the analysis?

Accepted Answer

The skill reports the overall duplication percentage, total number of duplicated lines, number of individual clone groups, and a list of specific files containing the most copy-pasted logic.

Question 2

How does this skill improve my development workflow?

Accepted Answer

It replaces subjective, manual code reviews with automated, data-driven detection. By prioritizing duplicates based on impact (lines and instances), it ensures you spend your time fixing the most critical redundancies first.

Question 3

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill whenever you are tasked with improving code quality, reducing technical debt, or before starting a major refactor. It is the ideal first step to identify targets for extraction and consolidation.

Question 4

What does the Duplicate Code Detector skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill automates the identification of code clones using jscpd analysis. It provides quantitative metrics on duplication percentages and generates structured TDD refactoring plans to help you clean up your codebase systematically.

Question 5

Does this skill automatically refactor the code for me?

Accepted Answer

This skill focuses on detection and planning. It identifies 'what' to fix and 'how' to test it. For the actual implementation, it is designed to be used in sequence with the 'incremental-refactoring' skill.
