Read prompts/analyst-common.md first; it gives your role, inputs, context-safety rules, and the return format. This file adds the dimension.

Dimension: Repeated work

Find work the session did more than once.

1. Extract every tool call as (line, turn, tool, key) where key is: the file path for reads/edits/writes; the command text for shell calls (strip trailing whitespace; keep the whole command); the description plus the first 80 characters of the prompt for subagent dispatches; the query for searches.
2. Group by (tool, key) and report the groups at or over threshold:

| Category | Threshold | Exempt | |---|---|---| | reads, searches | 3 | | | edits | 2 | | | shell commands | 2 | status checks and test runs (git status, ls, pwd, test runners) | | subagent dispatches | 2 with the same description | |

1. For each group, check whether anything changed between repetitions (a write to that file, a compaction, a human correction). Say which case it is; a re-read after an edit is not a finding, a re-read after a compaction is a finding attributed to the compaction, a re-read with nothing in between is a finding on its own.
2. Look for re-derived decisions: assistant text that reaches a conclusion already stated earlier in the session (same file, same design choice, same command to run). Quote both places.
3. One finding per group, with the first and last line numbers and the count.
