clones
code_context_agent.tools.clones ¶
Clone detection tool for finding duplicate code across files.
Uses jscpd (JS Copy/Paste Detector) via npx to detect code clones.
detect_clones ¶
Detect duplicate and near-duplicate code blocks across files.
USE THIS TOOL: - To find copy-paste code that should be refactored into shared helpers - During code health analysis to measure duplication percentage - To identify cross-file verbatim matches
DO NOT USE: - For finding specific known patterns (use rg_search or astgrep_scan) - On very small repos (<10 files) where duplication is unlikely
Uses jscpd (JS Copy/Paste Detector) to find cloned code blocks. Results can be ingested into the code graph as SIMILAR_TO edges via code_graph_ingest_clones.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
repo_path | str | Repository root path. | required |
min_lines | int | Minimum clone block size in lines (default 5). | 5 |
min_tokens | int | Minimum clone block size in tokens (default 50). | 50 |
include_globs | str | Comma-separated glob patterns (e.g., "/*.py,/*.ts"). | '' |
threshold | int | Minimum duplication percentage to report (0-100, 0 = all). | 0 |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
str | JSON with clone groups containing file paths, line ranges, and similarity. |
Output Size: ~200 bytes per clone pair. Capped at 50 clones.
