What is duplicate diff for a team that runs agents.
What is duplicate diff: A duplicate diff is two code changes for the same bug from agents that could not see each other. In Kovnor one task has one owner, so the second change is visible before it is written. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock.
A duplicate diff is two code changes that solve the same bug or build the same behavior, usually from two agents that could not see each other's branch. Unlike a general duplicate document, the waste shows up as overlapping patches. Merging both can double-apply the fix or fight in the same lines. The shared project is where the second change should have been visible before it was written. A diff that passes tests can still be the duplicate.
What holds today
- Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
- Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
- Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
How duplicate diff shows up in Kovnor
Kovnor's agents work in one project and message before starting. The reviewer can fail a second change the task did not ask for. Both runs' costs show.
What duplicate diff is not
A diff that passes tests can still be the duplicate.
