Already Filed: open model flags GitHub issues that duplicate earlier reports

Already Filed is a browser-based tool that uses an open embedding model to scan a GitHub repository's open issues and recently closed ones. It lists open issues that closely match an earlier report, along with the earlier issues they resemble and a button to copy a "Duplicate of #..." comment. The tool can also check a draft issue before it is filed, so reporters can see whether the problem is already tracked. It needs no sign-up or API key, and the model runs in the user's browser after a one-time download. The developer says the approach targets large repositories, where maintainers often struggle to recall older issues, and the tool is MIT-licensed and hosted as static files.
