Duplicate detection
Use when a user asks whether an issue is duplicated or related.
Process
- Extract search terms from title, description, error messages, product area,
labels, and comments.
- Use
list_issues with targeted queries. Done when at least one search
has run.
- Use
get_issue on the strongest candidates before recommending. Done when
each candidate's scope, symptoms, environment, impacted user flow, and status
are compared.
- Recommend the canonical issue to keep open.
- Propose duplicate links, status changes, or closures only after comparison is
complete.
Output
Use the agent default response shape, plus candidate duplicates, why they match
or do not match, recommended canonical issue, and proposed Linear action.
