Identify and eliminate duplicated code by extracting shared functionality to appropriate locations. When multiple components or code sections perform identical operations, consolidate the logic into a single, reusable location such as a parent component, utility function, or shared module. Key strategies: - Move shared functionality to parent components when child components perform identical operations - Extract duplicated logic into utility functions or helper methods - Break down large components to better identify and organize shared code patterns Example of eliminating platform duplication: ```typescript // Before: Duplicated code for different platforms if (detectedPlatform === "powershell") { const authHeader = ` -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"`; uploadCommands.push(`curl -X POST "${baseUrl}/api/v1/files/upload/${flowId}"${authHeader} -F "file=@your_image.jpg"`); } else { const authHeader = ` -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"`; uploadCommands.push(`curl -X POST "${baseUrl}/api/v1/files/upload/${flowId}"${authHeader} -F "file=@your_image.jpg"`); } // After: Extracted shared logic const authHeader = ` -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"`; uploadCommands.push(`curl -X POST "${baseUrl}/api/v1/files/upload/${flowId}"${authHeader} -F "file=@your_image.jpg"`); ``` This approach improves maintainability, reduces the likelihood of inconsistencies, and makes the codebase more readable by eliminating redundant patterns.
