Duplicate Class Verification (Generated vs openai-java)

Use this skill to compare generated Java models against the openai-java dependency. The goal is field-by-field comparison of model shapes, even when class or field names differ.

Inputs to confirm

  • Generated source root (e.g., src/main/java/...)
  • The relevant pom.xml (module) to resolve the openai-java dependency version
  • Optional: package or class name hints to narrow the search

Steps

  • Locate the pom.xml in the current directory tree (find . -name pom.xml). If multiple, ask which module to use.
  • Resolve openai-java:
  • Search the chosen pom for openai-java (or an explicit group/artifact provided by the user).
  • Resolve the version (including properties) and locate the JAR in ~/.m2/repository.
  • The model classes live in openai-java-core, not the top-level openai-java artifact.
  • List candidate classes:
  • Generated classes: scan the source root for class and record declarations.
  • openai-java classes: jar tf <jar> | grep '\.class$' (filter by package hints if provided).
  • Extract field signatures (names may differ; compare shape):
  • Generated source:
  • For record, use the component list in the record declaration.
  • For class, extract non-static field declarations (type + count) and note any @JsonProperty names.
  • Check toJson/fromJson methods for the actual JSON keys used in serialization.
  • openai-java JAR:
  • Use javap -classpath <jar> -p <FQCN> to list fields (ignore static, validated, hashCode$delegate, additionalProperties).
  • Extract @JsonProperty keys from the sources JAR (*-sources.jar) for JSON key comparison.
  • Compare shapes:
  • Compare field count and field types (order-independent).
  • Compare JSON keys from @JsonProperty (openai-java) vs toJson/fromJson string literals (generated).
  • Compare enum/union values when field types are enums or string unions.
  • Follow type hierarchy: BinaryDataJsonValue (both represent untyped JSON), Map<String,BinaryData>Map<String,JsonValue>, Java enum ↔ Kotlin string enum.
  • Categorize results (do NOT treat all matches the same):

Actionable duplicates — standalone models not in any type hierarchy. These can potentially be suppressed and replaced with the openai-java equivalent. Examples: ComparisonFilter, Reasoning.

Structural equivalents — classes that produce identical JSON but participate in a discriminator hierarchy (e.g., extends Tool, extends TextResponseFormatConfiguration). The SDK's polymorphic serialization (Tool.fromJson() dispatches to FunctionTool.fromJson(), etc.) requires these to exist. They are NOT actionable duplicates. Examples: FunctionTool, FileSearchTool, ComputerUsePreviewTool.

Partial matches — classes with most fields matching but extra Azure-specific fields. Note the extra fields. Examples: CodeInterpreterTool (extra container), WebSearchTool (extra custom_search_configuration).

  • Report:
  • Provide a table with: generated class → openai-java class, field count, matching fields, category.
  • Clearly separate actionable duplicates from structural equivalents.
  • For actionable duplicates, note whether @@alternateType or @@access(internal) would be the right suppression mechanism (see dedup-openai skill).

Useful commands

List generated class names

rg -n "^(public\s+)?(final\s+)?(class|record)\s+" <generated_root>

Extract field lines from source (classes)

grep -E '^\s+private\s+' <file> | grep -v 'static\s'

Extract JSON keys from generated toJson/fromJson

grep -E 'jsonWriter\.write|"[a-z_]+"' <file> | grep -v '//'

Inspect fields in a JAR class

javap -classpath <jar> -p <fully.qualified.ClassName>

Extract @JsonProperty from openai-java sources JAR

jar xf <sources-jar> main/com/openai/models/<Class>.kt
grep '@JsonProperty' main/com/openai/models/<Class>.kt

Check if a class participates in a hierarchy

grep 'extends\s' <file>  # If it extends Tool, TextResponseFormatConfiguration, etc. → structural

Notes

  • Use search-m2 if you need help locating the dependency version or JAR path.
  • If the user provides only a vague class hint, narrow candidates by package or field count first.
  • The openai-java classes are Kotlin and use Jackson; generated classes use azure-json (JsonSerializable). Compare at the JSON wire level, not at the Java API level.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take azure/dup-classes from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
