How to Use This Report

Review each group below. If the resources are intentionally separate, check the box to mark them as accepted. These will be excluded from future reports.

Potential Duplicates

Group 1: Caveman Mode — Agent + Instruction with Word-for-Word Identical Description (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 5)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/caveman-mode.agent.md Agent Terse, low-token responses. Minimal words, no fluff. Full capabilities preserved.
instructions/caveman-mode.instructions.md Instruction Terse, low-token responses. Minimal words, no fluff. Full capabilities preserved.

Why flagged: Word-for-word identical description. Same communication directives in both files. The agent is explicitly invoked; the instruction applies passively via applyTo: '**'. Both exist simultaneously and may conflict.

Group 2: Implementation Plan Generation Agents — Identical Descriptions (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 4)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/planner.agent.md Agent Generate an implementation plan for new features or refactoring existing code.
agents/implementation-plan.agent.md Agent Generate an implementation plan for new features or refactoring existing code.

Why flagged: Both agents share a word-for-word identical description. Two agents with the same stated purpose and same description coexist in the repository.

Group 3: Mentoring Juniors — Agent + Skill with Near-Identical Socratic Approach (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 1)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/mentoring-juniors.agent.md Agent Socratic mentor for junior developers. Guides through questions, never gives direct answers. Helps beginners understand code, debug issues, and build autonomy using the PEAR Loop and progressive clue systems.
skills/mentoring-juniors/SKILL.md Skill Socratic mentoring for junior developers and AI newcomers. Guides through questions, never answers. Progressive clue systems, teaching techniques, and success metrics.

Why flagged: Both share the same name (mentoring-juniors), same Socratic guiding approach (questions only, never direct answers), same target audience (junior devs), and similar progressive clue/hint systems. The core behaviour is packaged as both an agent and a skill.

Group 4: Quality Playbook — Agent + Skill with Near-Identical Six-Phase Audit (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 2)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/quality-playbook.agent.md Agent Run a complete quality engineering audit on any codebase. Orchestrates six phases — explore, generate, review, audit, reconcile, verify — each in its own context window for maximum depth. Finds the 35% of real defects that structural code review alone cannot catch.
skills/quality-playbook/SKILL.md Skill Run a complete quality engineering audit on any codebase. Derives behavioral requirements, generates spec-traced functional tests, runs a three-pass code review, executes a multi-model spec audit (Council of Three), and produces a consolidated bug report with TDD-verified patches. Finds the 35% of real defects that structural code review alone cannot catch.

Why flagged: Both share the same name (quality-playbook), the same opening claim, and the distinctive "35% of real defects" statistic. Same audit methodology, different resource types.

Group 5: Doublecheck — Agent + Skill with Identical Three-Layer Pipeline (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 7)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/doublecheck.agent.md Agent Interactive verification agent for AI-generated output. Runs a three-layer pipeline (self-audit, source verification, adversarial review) and produces structured reports with source links for human review.
skills/doublecheck/SKILL.md Skill Three-layer verification pipeline for AI output. Extracts verifiable claims, finds supporting or contradicting sources via web search, runs adversarial review for hallucination patterns, and produces a structured verification report with source links for human review.

Why flagged: Both describe the exact same three-layer verification pipeline for AI-generated output. Differ only in resource type (agent vs skill).

Group 6: PRD — Agent + Skill (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 9)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/prd.agent.md Agent Generate a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) in Markdown, detailing user stories, acceptance criteria, technical considerations, and metrics.
skills/prd/SKILL.md Skill Generate high-quality Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) for software systems and AI-powered features. Includes executive summaries, user stories, technical specifications, and risk analysis.

Why flagged: Same name (prd), same core purpose — generating PRD documents with user stories and acceptance criteria. Cross-type overlap (agent vs skill).

Group 7: Code Tour — Agent + Skill with Identical Purpose (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 19)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/code-tour.agent.md Agent Expert agent for creating and maintaining VSCode CodeTour files with comprehensive schema support and best practices.
skills/code-tour/SKILL.md Skill Use this skill to create CodeTour .tour files — persona-targeted, step-by-step walkthroughs that link to real files and line numbers.

Why flagged: Both create VSCode CodeTour .tour files for the same use cases. Core purpose is identical; differ only in resource type.

Group 8: Gilfoyle Code Review — Agent + Instruction (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 8)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/gilfoyle.agent.md Agent Code review and analysis with the sardonic wit and technical elitism of Bertram Gilfoyle from Silicon Valley.
instructions/gilfoyle-code-review.instructions.md Instruction Gilfoyle-style code review instructions that channel the sardonic technical supremacy of Silicon Valley's most arrogant systems architect.

Why flagged: Same Gilfoyle persona, same code review domain. One performs active review sessions; the other passively applies the same style to all interactions.

Group 9: Context7 — Agent + Instruction (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 11)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/context7.agent.md Agent Expert in latest library versions, best practices, and correct syntax using up-to-date documentation via Context7 MCP.
instructions/context7.instructions.md Instruction Use Context7 for authoritative external docs and API references when local context is insufficient.

Why flagged: Identical name, nearly identical scope (using Context7 MCP for documentation lookup). Differ only in resource type.

Group 10: Markdown Accessibility — Agent + Instruction (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 12)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/markdown-accessibility-assistant.agent.md Agent Improves the accessibility of markdown files using five GitHub best practices.
instructions/markdown-accessibility.instructions.md Instruction Markdown accessibility guidelines based on GitHub's 5 best practices for inclusive documentation.

Why flagged: Both reference the same source (GitHub's 5 best practices for markdown accessibility). Identical domain and source material, cross-type overlap.

Group 11: C#/.NET Janitor Cluster — Two Agents with Identical Descriptions + Universal Variant (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 6)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description

agents/dotnet-upgrade.agent.md Agent Perform janitorial tasks on C#/.NET code including cleanup, modernization, and tech debt remediation.
agents/janitor.agent.md Agent Perform janitorial tasks on any codebase including cleanup, simplification, and tech debt remediation.

Why flagged: csharp-dotnet-janitor and dotnet-upgrade share a word-for-word identical description. janitor.agent.md broadens the same workflow to any language, potentially making both C#-specific agents redundant.

Group 12: MS-SQL DBA — Agent + Instruction with Same Scope (previously reviewed — see #1867 Group 10)

  • Reviewed — these are intentionally separate
Resource Type Description
agents/ms-sql-dba.agent.md Agent Work with Microsoft SQL Server databases using the MS SQL extension.
instructions/ms-sql-dba.instructions.md Instruction Instructions for customizing GitHub Copilot behavior for MS-SQL DBA chat mode.

Why flagged: The instruction explicitly targets use alongside the ms-sql-dba agent, creating heavily overlapping content for the same SQL Server DBA use case.
