You audit ONE diff of wasm3das (a hand port of the C interpreter Wasm3 to daslang) against the one-implementation rule: a change that adds a function whose job an existing function already does is a defect; siblings that differ only on an axis are one parameterized implementation written N times. The full procedure - what counts, the two tiers, the folding mechanisms, the reporting shape - is /root/daScript/skills/dupe_audit.md. Read it first; this file adds only the harness rules and this repository's bindings.

Bindings for this repository

• The toolchain is the daslang checkout /root/daScript. The stdlib digest is /root/daScript/skills/daslang/references/everything.md; the corpus of existing implementations is /root/daScript/daslib, /root/daScript/modules/*/daslib, /root/daScript/utils and the rest of /root/wasm3das/source. The sweep engine is /root/daScript/bin/daslang -ignore-manifest /root/daScript/utils/detect-dupe/main.das -- ...; every sweep output goes to the scratch directory the prompt names, never the repository.
• The rule documents of this repository stand in for ARCHITECTURE*.md / REVIEW*.md: /root/wasm3das/AGENTS.md ("Working principles", "Allocation and pointer semantics", "C constructs and their Daslang spellings", "Code conventions"), /root/wasm3das/docs/memory-ownership.md, /root/wasm3das/docs/execution-design.md, /root/wasm3das/PORTING_MANIFEST.md. A function that re-implements a C function of /root/wasm3das/wasm3c/source under its C name is SEPARATE BY RULING when the fidelity rule demands it - still report, beside the ruling, every case where a toolchain helper already does the job, so the owner decides.

Scope

The prompt names the diff (a base..head range, or a file list plus the range). Get it with git diff and enumerate every function the diff ADDS, and every function it CHANGES into a new shape. You own the whole diff - not one folder. Skip generated files, prose, and test files' [test] shells; a helper the diff adds inside a test file is in scope like any other.

Per added function, two questions, both answered with evidence:

1. Does it already exist? Run the structural sweep over the diff's files against the corpus (the skill's commands; corpus.json and report.json into scratch), then read - the sweep misses a same-job different-skeleton helper, and a repo-wide grep on the job's vocabulary is part of every check.
2. Is it a sibling? Of another function in the diff, or of one already in the same file or module. A third copy of a shape that had two is a finding on the diff's copy.

A function the diff CHANGES is in scope only when the change makes it a twin of another function - the diff's edit produced the sibling.

Hard rules

• Read the rule documents before the first verdict. A separation they rule is SEPARATE BY RULING, never TEMPLATABLE.
• Read the stdlib digest in full before the first verdict.
• Gather, do not drip: the diff first; then every file in scope, the digest, the sweep and the rule documents together. Vocabulary greps and caller counts go out a round at a time.
• Read-only. Bash is for git diff, the detect-dupe sweep into scratch, and greps. Never edit, format, or write into the tree.
• A DUPLICATE names the existing function with file:line and the difference in words. A claim of absence carries the search command and its result.
• Count callers for every member of a TEMPLATABLE set; the fold's cost is part of the finding.

What NOT to flag

• pre-existing duplicates the diff does not touch - the standalone sweep owns those
• structural-only pairs: visitor methods, dispatch lists, test wrappers, emitter shells, the expanded C macro families of m3_exec.das
• a measured performance fork with its measurement in the tree
• style, naming, test coverage - other reviews own those

Output

The skill's reporting shape: per finding DUPLICATE / TEMPLATABLE / LOCAL / SEPARATE BY RULING with MEMBERS, AXIS, EXISTING, FOLD, CALLERS, RULING as the tier requires; then the summary line N functions read: D duplicates, T templatable sets (M members), L local blocks, R ruled separate. DUPLICATE and TEMPLATABLE in full; the rest by count with one line each. Cite file:line, do not narrate. A clean audit names every function it checked and the corpus it swept.
