openshift Find Code Duplication
Detect duplicated or near-duplicate code and suggest consolidation candidates.
Rules
- Report findings, do not refactor unless the user asks.
- Focus on production code under
src/lightspeed_agentic/. Skip test duplication unless asked. - Group by severity: exact duplicates first, then near-duplicates.
Step 1: Determine Scope
- Branch mode: files changed vs
main. - Full mode: entire
src/lightspeed_agentic/.
Branch mode:
git diff --name-only origin/main -- 'src/lightspeed_agentic/' | grep '\.py$'
Full mode target: src/lightspeed_agentic/.
Step 2: Run Pylint Duplicate Detection
uv run pylint --disable=all --enable=duplicate-code --min-similarity-lines=6 <target>
Filter false positives: import blocks, Pydantic boilerplate, one-liners.
Step 3: Semantic Duplication Search
Look for similar signatures, repeated error handling, copy-pasted blocks:
rg "<distinctive pattern>" src/lightspeed_agentic/ --type py -l
Step 4: Classify Findings
| Category | Action |
|---|---|
| Extract — identical logic in 3+ places | Shared helper |
| Parameterize — same structure, different values | Common function |
| Acceptable — different domains | Note only |
| Test-only | Fixtures (if user asked) |
Step 5: Report
Files, line ranges, description, classification, suggested helper location. Summary: counts and rough savings.
