+description: Find duplicate GitHub issues
+---
+
+Find up to 3 likely duplicate issues for a given GitHub issue.
+
+To do this, follow these steps precisely:
+
+1. Use an agent to check if the Github issue (a) is closed, (b) does not need to be deduped (eg. because it is broad product feedback without a specific solution, or positive feedback), or (c) already has a duplicates comment that you made earlier. If so, do not proceed.
+2. Use an agent to view a Github issue, and ask the agent to return a summary of the issue
+3. Then, launch 5 parallel agents to search Github for duplicates of this issue, using diverse keywords and search approaches, using the summary from #2
+4. Next, feed the results from #2 and #3 into another agent, so that it can filter out false positives, that are likely not actually duplicates of the original issue. If there are no duplicates remaining, do not proceed.
+5. Finally, use the comment script to post duplicates:
+   ```
+   ./scripts/comment-on-duplicates.sh --base-issue <issue-number> --potential-duplicates <dup1> <dup2> <dup3>
+   ```
+
+Notes (be sure to tell this to your agents, too):
+
+- Use `gh` to interact with Github, rather than web fetch
+- Do not use other tools, beyond `gh` and the comment script (eg. don't use other MCP servers, file edit, etc.)
+- Make a todo list first
