Find and merge duplicate entities. An agent skill from kbanc85/claudia.

  • Works in 4 steps: Find Potential Duplicates → Present Candidates to User → Execute Merge → …

What it does

Fix Duplicates is an agent skill from kbanc85/claudia. Find and merge duplicate entities. Use when user says "clean up duplicates", "merge these people", "fix duplicate entities", "dedupe my contacts", or when you notice potential duplicates during conversation.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Terminal-based AI chief of staff. Remembers relationships, tracks commitments, helps you think strategically. Runs on Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • User says clean up duplicates
  • Merge these people
  • Fix duplicate entities
  • Dedupe my contacts

Example prompts

  • “clean up duplicates”
  • “merge these people”
  • “fix duplicate entities”
  • “/fix-duplicates”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Find Potential Duplicates
  2. Present Candidates to User
  3. Execute Merge
  4. Confirm Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb63cec. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Fix Duplicates loads about 843 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~843

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 266 words (~843 tokens).

“Find and merge duplicate entities in the memory system. Duplicates happen when the same person, project, or organization gets stored under slightly different names.”
