name: dedup description: Use when implementing or debugging code that uses @suaveplan/dedup: Entity deduplication engine with pluggable match keys, scoring rules, Jaro-Winkler/Levenshtein similarity, and merge strategies.

@suaveplan/dedup

Entity deduplication engine for detecting and merging duplicate records in any data set. Given a list of objects with varying representations of the same real-world entity (e.g. "John Smith" vs "J. Smith", or the same email in different capitalisation), the DedupEngine scores pairs using a weighted combination of field-level similarity algorithms — Jaro-Winkler, Levenshtein, exact match, or phonetic — groups records into connected components via union-find, and merges each group with a pluggable strategy (latestWins, manual, or scoredMerge). Use this package for ETL pipelines, contact deduplication, and data cleansing. For domain-name-specific normalisation and alias resolution use @suaveplan/domain-normalizer; for string-similarity primitives only, the scoring module is exported as a standalone subpath.

When to use this skill

• Implementing or debugging code that imports @suaveplan/dedup.
• The task touches: see package README.
• You need API guidance for this package's exports.

Quick reference

import { /* see API Reference below */ } from "@suaveplan/dedup";

Dependencies

Workspace dependencies: none

Where to read more

This skill is intentionally short. The package's own documentation is the authoritative source — read these in order:

1. packages/foundation/dedup/README.md — overview, install, quick-start, module index
2. packages/foundation/dedup/src/**/*.md — co-located docs per implementation file (Purpose, Features, Basic + Advanced examples, full API reference, Implementation notes — all packages ship ≥200 words per module)
3. packages/foundation/dedup/package.json exports map — every subpath you can import from

When the user asks an API question, read the relevant co-located .md first; do not answer from training-data memory.
