Duplicate Work Agent

I'll check your new project ideas against existing work before your team builds something twice.

About this agent

Teams often rebuild work that already exists, discovering the overlap only after both versions ship. This agent searches your workspaces and GitHub for matching work and returns a report recommending reuse, coordination, or a clear go-ahead.

What you get

Discovery report comparing new work against existing projects, delivered when you share an idea or requirements doc.

Flags for active work already in progress elsewhere, delivered when you mention the agent.

Reuse recommendations with estimated time saved, delivered when you tag the agent on a document.

What this agent does

Turns a raw idea into clear requirements

When there's no requirements document yet, the agent interviews you about the why, who, and how, then drafts a structured document with clear deliverables.

Extracts every deliverable worth checking

From the requirements document, it pulls out each distinct deliverable or functional module before searching for overlap.

Searches workspaces and GitHub for overlap

For each deliverable, it checks connected workspaces and GitHub for active work already underway and for completed solutions that could be reused instead.

Builds a clear discovery and alignment report

It returns a table showing each deliverable's match type, owner, team, date, and links, so you know exactly who to talk to.

Recommends coordination or reuse

For overlapping active work it suggests a conversation between the relevant owners, and for existing completed work it estimates the time you'd save by reusing it instead of rebuilding.
