Find duplicate code in nine languages. Deslop ranks what to remove first and tells your coding agent when similar code already exists — live in VS Code. 2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z https://deslop.live/ Christian Findlay https://deslop.live/blog/tree-sitter-over-regex/ 2026-04-10T00:00:00.000Z 2026-04-10T00:00:00.000Z

Deslop uses parsed syntax trees instead of source-text patterns. Here is what that enables and where language-specific normalization fits.

The current ranking uses duplicated mass, without the old byte-span multiplier.

Coding agents do not automatically know that similar code already exists elsewhere in a repository. This is why duplicate-code feedback belongs in the editing loop.

AI-generated code can multiply duplicate logic before review catches it. This guide explains what to check, why duplicate code becomes technical debt, and where to read the full Deslop research background.

Flutter projects repeat widget trees, repositories, mappers, and test setup. Here is how Deslop compares their structure and reports the highest-impact duplicates first.

MCP gives coding agents tools. Deslop gives them live repository memory: call find-similar before writing, then reuse the code that already exists.

Deslop now understands Go. It parses .go syntax trees, catches renamed clone shapes, ranks the worst duplication first, and lets coding agents search before they write another copy.

Deslop's push toward 100% accuracy is public: the issue graph exposes known failures, dependencies, verification work, and the research behind every accuracy decision.

A detector produces evidence. A skill supplies procedure — a read-only first pass, a stop, a verdict, a test gate, and a reproducible command in the pull request. Here is why that layer matters and how to build one.

Finding a pair is only part of accuracy. Deslop also needs to report the complete copied code, reject unrelated lookalikes and count the right lines.
