The issue-duplication-detector workflow was added to .github/workflows/ but lacked user-facing documentation. This workflow runs every 6 hours to batch-process recent issues, using semantic analysis to detect duplicates and comment with suggested next steps.

Changes

  • workflows/issue-duplication-detector.md: Source workflow file matching .github/workflows/ implementation
  • docs/issue-duplication-detector.md: User documentation covering:
    • Installation via gh aw add githubnext/agentics/issue-duplication-detector
    • 5-step batch processing workflow (search → analyze → compare → comment)
    • Cost control via 6-hour batching window (max 10 comments/run)
    • Example output and human oversight considerations
  • README.md: Added to "Depth Triage & Analysis Workflows" section

How It Works

  1. Queries issues updated in last 6 hours
  2. Extracts keywords from title/body
  3. Searches for semantically similar existing issues
  4. Posts helpful comments only on high-confidence duplicates

Uses safe-outputs with permissions: read-all for secure commenting.

Changed to every 6 hours in commit f2c04d0. Updated the cron schedule to 0 */6 * * * and adjusted the time window for checking issues from last 10 minutes to last 6 hours throughout both the workflow and documentation files.
