+
+# Duplicate Code Audit
+
+On-demand deep duplication scan using jscpd (token-level clone detection). Distinct from the continuous per-edit `dedup-gate` hook — this skill runs a full-scope scan and produces a ranked report.
+
+Grounded in: GitClear 2024 analysis (211M LOC, 8x increase in duplicated code blocks in AI-assisted repos). Token-level clone detection catches near-duplicates that differ in names/structure — something diff-only review tools and pattern matching cannot do.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- User asks to scan a directory, package, or entire repo for duplicated code
+- Before a refactoring pass, to identify consolidation targets
+- After a multi-file feature addition, to verify no accidental duplication was introduced
+
+## Scan Procedure
+
+1. Determine scope from user's request (specific directory, package, or full repo).
+2. Check for `.asc/dedup-config.json` — use `ignoreDirs` and `minTokens` from it if present.
+3. Run: `npx jscpd@5 "<scope>" --min-tokens <minTokens> --reporters console,json --output ./report/`
+   - If `bunx` is available, prefer `bunx jscpd` for speed (24-37x faster per jscpd v5 benchmarks).
+   - Apply `--ignore` flags from config `ignoreDirs`.
+4. Parse the JSON report and present findings ranked by number of duplicated lines (largest clusters first).
+
+## Report Format
+
+For each duplicate cluster, report:
+- **Files involved** and line ranges
+- **Duplicated lines count** and overlap percentage
+- **Consolidation recommendation** (only if pattern appears 3+ times — Rule of Three)
+
+## Consolidation Rules
+
+Per this repo's asc-refactor YAGNI and Rule of Three conventions:
+
+- **2 occurrences**: Report the duplication. Do NOT suggest a shared abstraction — "three similar lines is better than a premature abstraction."
+- **3+ occurrences**: Suggest the smallest safe consolidation — extract a shared function, component, or module. Explain what risk or friction the duplication creates and what the consolidated shape looks like.
+- **Structural boilerplate** (imports, prop types, export statements): Flag but do not count as actionable duplication — these are framework-mandated patterns, not logic clones.
+
+## Integration
+
+- The `dedup-gate` hook provides continuous per-edit detection (PostToolUse, scoped, fast).
+- This skill provides deep on-demand audits (full scope, thorough, user-triggered).
+- Findings from either can be logged to the debt ledger via `/asc-debt` if deferred.

-## Project Status
-
-| Component | Status | Notes |
-|-----------|--------|-------|
-| Rules & Skills (Instructional Layer) | Stable | Universal across 23+ AI tools |
-| Hooks (Enforcement Layer) | Stable | Claude Code, Antigravity IDE, Copilot CLI, Cursor |
-| `ascx` (Output Compression) | Beta | 7 adapters (git, npm, tsc, rg); unsupported commands pass through safely |
-| CLI (`asc adapter`, `asc global`) | Stable | Install adapters for any supported host |
-
-## How Skills & Hooks Work (Multi-Tier Architecture)
-
-Agentic Senior Core operates on a two-tier architecture:
-
-1. **Instructional Layer (Universal — Works in 23+ AI Tools)**:
-   - **Rules (`AGENTS.md` / `agentic-senior-core.md`) & Skills (`SKILL.md`)** are cross-compatible across **Google Antigravity IDE, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Codex, Kiro, Roo, OpenCode, Zed, Aider, etc.**.
-   - **Automatic Skill Triggering**: Agents attempt to detect and load skills if your prompt matches the skill's description (e.g., asking "perform a security audit" loads `asc-audit`).
-   - **Manual Skill Triggering (Highly Recommended)**: Explicitly call skills using commands like `/asc-refactor` or `/asc-new-project` for guaranteed execution.
-
-2. **Active Enforcement Layer (Hooks — Host-Specific Hard Guardrails)**:
-   - **Hard-Block Guardrails**: For tools supporting active hook execution engines (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, Google Antigravity IDE, Cursor), ASC automatically intercepts tool calls:
-     - **PreToolUse Hard Block**: Immediately rejects edits adding stdlib-duplicating dependencies (e.g., `lodash`, `moment`, `uuid`) before execution (`permissionDecision: "deny"`). Escape hatch available via `.asc/dependency-allowlist.json`.
-     - **PostToolUse Advisory**: Soft nudges for LOC deltas, spec drift, and workflow gate bypasses.

-## Install
-
-### Step 1: Install / Update the package
+## Quick Start
 
+### 1. Install the package
 To install or forcefully update to the absolute latest version:
 
 ```bash
 npm install -g @ryuenn3123/agentic-senior-core@latest
 ```
 
-> [!TIP]
-> **Why not `npm update -g`?** npm's update command aggressively respects SemVer restrictions and local cache, which can trap you on older patch versions. Always use `@latest` to forcefully pull the absolute newest build.

-### Step 2: Set up for your AI tool
-
-<details>
-<summary><b>Claude Code</b> (terminal agent)</summary>
-
-Rules load automatically via plugin hooks. No per-project files needed.
-
-From inside Claude Code, add the marketplace then install:
-
-```
-/plugin marketplace add fatidaprilian/Agentic-Senior-Core
-/plugin install agentic-senior-core@agentic-senior-core

-
-Or from your terminal shell:
-
-```bash
-claude plugin marketplace add fatidaprilian/Agentic-Senior-Core

-<summary><b>Zed</b> (IDE)</summary>
-
-```bash
-asc adapter --zed
-```
-
-Copies one file to `.zed/rules/agentic-senior-core.md`. Zed also reads `AGENTS.md` natively, so this is optional if you already have AGENTS.md in your project. Repeat per project.
-

-
-```bash
-asc adapter --kilocode
-```
-
-Copies one file to `.kilocode/rules/agentic-senior-core.md`. Repeat per project — or install once globally with `asc global --kilocode`. On Kilo v7+, the zero-maintenance option is pointing the `instructions:` array in `~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc` at the rules file inside the npm package (auto-updates with `npm update -g`).
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary><b>Roo Code</b> (VS Code extension)</summary>
-
-```bash
-asc adapter --roo
-```
-
-Copies one file to `.roo/rules/agentic-senior-core.md`. Repeat per project — or install once globally with `asc global --roo` (`~/.roo/rules/`). Note: Roo Code was discontinued in May 2026; support is kept for existing installs.

-
-**Option A -- workspace rules (per project for 2.0 and IDE only):**
-
-Copy the rules file into your project's `.agents/rules/` directory:
-
-```bash
-# Create the directory first, then copy
-mkdir -p .agents/rules
-
-# From the npm package (after Step 1)
-cp "$(npm root -g)/@ryuenn3123/agentic-senior-core/.agents/rules/agentic-senior-core.md" .agents/rules/

-Antigravity IDE and 2.0 read it automatically with `trigger: always_on`. *(Note: Antigravity CLI does not support workspace plugins, use Option B for CLI).*
-
-**Option B -- global install (all projects and ALL clients):**
-
-One command (works on all platforms):
-
-```bash
-asc global --antigravity

-This automatically stages the plugin bundle (skills, rules, hooks, and MCP servers) for:
-- **Antigravity 2.0 & IDE** (`~/.gemini/config/plugins/agentic-senior-core/`)
-- **Antigravity CLI** (`~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/plugins/agentic-senior-core/`)
-
-If you previously installed to legacy locations (v5.8.4 or earlier), the old paths are cleaned up automatically.
-
-> Note: `npm update -g` refreshes the npm package only. The global copy does not auto-update -- re-run `asc global --antigravity` after each update.

-| Cline | `~/Documents/Cline/Rules/` | Toggleable in the Cline rules panel |
-| Kilo Code | `~/.kilocode/rules/` | Or point `instructions:` in `~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc` at the npm package path — that variant auto-updates |
-| Kiro | `~/.kiro/steering/` | Some builds have global-steering loading bugs; fall back to `asc adapter --kiro` |
-| OpenHands | `~/.openhands/microagents/` | CLI/headless/dev modes; Docker runs need the mount |
-| Windsurf / Devin Desktop | `~/.codeium/windsurf/memories/global_rules.md` | 6,000-char global limit (ASC rules fit); skipped if you already have your own file |
-| GitHub Copilot (VS Code) | VS Code profile `prompts/` folder | Installed as a user `*.instructions.md` with `applyTo: '**'` |
-| Roo Code | `~/.roo/rules/` | Roo Code was discontinued May 2026; kept for existing installs |
-
-Tools without a global rules **file** (manual one-time setup instead):
-
-- **Cursor** — Settings → Rules → User Rules: paste the contents of `AGENTS.md` (plain text field; a global rules directory is still a Cursor feature request).
-- **Zed** — Rules Library in the Agent Panel: create a rule from `AGENTS.md` and mark it as default (paper clip icon).
-- **Continue** — add a rules block to the global `config.yaml`.
-- **Aider** — add `read: <absolute path to npm package>/CONVENTIONS.md` in `~/.aider.conf.yml`. This is a live pointer: it auto-updates with `npm update -g`, no re-copy ever.
-
-Global rules load first; per-project adapter files (if present) take precedence on conflicts in every tool that supports both.
-
-### Updating
-
-Already installed? Just update the global package:
-
-```bash
-npm update -g @ryuenn3123/agentic-senior-core
-```
-
-Terminal agent plugins pick up the new version automatically on next session. Global installs and IDE adapter files are static copies — after updating, re-run `asc global --all` once and `asc adapter --all` in each project that uses per-project files. (Aider's `read:` pointer and Kilo's `kilo.jsonc` path variant auto-update — nothing to re-run.)

-## Works With Other Plugins
-
-ASC covers security, architecture, testing, API design, database safety, accessibility, infrastructure, and resilience — domains that code-reduction and minimalism plugins explicitly leave out of scope. They reduce volume; ASC enforces safety on what remains.
-
-Use them together. No conflicts — ASC is designed to be complementary.
-
 ---
 
-## Benchmarks
-
-Measured on `claude-opus-4-6` using headless Claude Code sessions against real tasks.
+## Configuration & Overrides
 
-| | LOC | Tokens | Cost | Duration | Safety |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| **Simple tasks** | 0% | -3% to -8% | -1% | -2% to -13% | 100% |
-| **Complex tasks** | **-18%** | **-30%** | **-42%** | **-18%** | 100% |
+By default, ASC works perfectly out of the box with zero configuration. It enforces guardrails silently in the background. 
 
-On complex, ambiguous tasks (auth systems, insecure CRUD refactors) — where over-engineering typically occurs — ASC produces **18% less code**, uses **30% fewer tokens**, costs **42% less**, and finishes **18% faster**.
+If you need to override these defaults (e.g., to whitelist a specific dependency or ignore specific folders for code-duplication scanning), you can create an `.asc/` folder in your project root.
 
-On trivial tasks the model is already concise, so gains are marginal.
-
-Full methodology and raw data: [`benchmarks/RESULTS.md`](benchmarks/RESULTS.md)
-
-> Model: `claude-opus-4-6` · n=1-2 per task · Baseline = Claude without rules (not zero-prompt).
-> Opus is inherently disciplined — gains on more verbose models would likely be larger.

-## Migration from v4.x
-
-v5.0 is a breaking change. The per-project system (`.agent-context/`, bridge files, project scaffolding) is replaced by the universal plugin system.
+## Commands & CLI
 
-Clean up v4 artifacts from any project:
-```bash
-# Preview what will be removed
-asc clean --dry-run
-
-# Remove v4 files (.agent-context/, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, etc.)
-asc clean
-```
+ASC provides powerful commands to steer your agents (e.g. `/asc-refactor`, `/asc-audit`). 
+It also provides a CLI to manage your local setup (e.g. `asc adapter --all`, `asc global --all`).
 
-This removes `.agent-context/`, `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `GEMINI.md`, and other v4 bridge files from the current project directory. The global plugin replaces all of them.

-## Grounded In
-
-Every rule and skill workflow is derived from established engineering standards, not invented conventions.
-
-| Domain | Standards |
-|--------|-----------|
-| Security & audit | OWASP Top 10, OWASP ASVS v4, CWE classification, CVSS report structure |
-| Code review | OWASP Risk Rating Methodology, Google Engineering Practices |
-| Architecture | Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture |
-| Workflows | RPI & QRSPI (Dex Horthy/HumanLayer), SDD (GitHub Spec Kit) |
-| Refactoring | Fowler's Refactoring, Rule of Three, YAGNI (XP/Kent Beck) |
-| Database | Fowler's Money Pattern, UTC timestamp convention, migration versioning |
-| Accessibility | WCAG 2.2 AA |
-| Resilience | Nygard's Release It!, AWS Well-Architected Reliability Pillar |
-| Technical debt | Cunningham's debt metaphor (1992) |
-| Instruction design | Low instruction density for higher LLM compliance — supported by IFScale (arXiv:2507.11538) and RECAST (arXiv:2505.19030) |
+## Works With Other Plugins
 
-The decision ladder (check before building) and debt ledger format are ASC-specific implementations grounded in these principles.
+ASC covers security, architecture, testing, API design, database safety, accessibility, infrastructure, and resilience — domains that code-reduction and minimalism plugins explicitly leave out of scope. They reduce volume; ASC enforces safety on what remains. Use them together. No conflicts — ASC is designed to be complementary.
