**User's request:** > let ai also first check if issue like this already created **Context:** Currently, the `/ri` command flow goes straight to analyzing the user's message and creating a new GitHub issue. There's no step that checks whether a similar issue already exists on the target repository. This means users can accidentally create duplicate issues. **Expected behavior:** Before creating a new issue, the AI should: 1. Search the target repo for existing open issues that might match the same topic 2. If a similar issue is found, inform the user and suggest linking or closing the flow 3. Only create a new issue if no duplicate is found **Use case:** A user runs `/ri` to report a bug, but a different user (or even the same user) has already reported the same problem. Instead of creating a duplicate, the AI should notice the existing issue and point the user to it, or ask if they want to add additional context to the existing one.
