Feature Description
Explanation of Workflow
Trigger: The workflow runs every time a new issue is created.
Check Duplicates: Uses a GitHub Action to detect similar issues by comparing the title and content with keywords and common phrases.
Close and Comment: If a duplicate is detected, it closes the issue and comments on it, linking to the original issue.

Use Case
This duplicate detection workflow significantly streamlines project management by automatically reducing redundant issues, helping maintainers focus on unique, unresolved problems. It saves time by automating the identification and closure of similar issues, preventing contributors from repeatedly addressing the same questions or bugs. With a clear link to the original issue, users can easily follow updates, improving transparency and reducing confusion. The feature enhances productivity by keeping the issue list organized, ensuring that attention goes to high-priority or novel issues. Overall, it fosters a more efficient, user-friendly environment, promoting collaboration and faster resolution of project needs.

Benefits
Time Efficiency

Hey @aditiverma-21,

I hope you're doing well. I came across the project to add a GitHub Workflow for auto-closing similar issue requests, and I'm really excited about the opportunity to contribute. I have some innovative ideas to enhance the workflow and ensure it effectively reduces redundant issues.

Here's a brief outline of my approach:

Efficient Duplicate Detection: Implement a robust GitHub Action to detect similar issues by comparing titles and content with keywords and common phrases.

Automated Closure and Commenting: Ensure the workflow automatically closes duplicate issues and comments on them, linking to the original issue.

Improved Project Management: Streamline project management by reducing redundant issues, allowing maintainers to focus on unique, unresolved problems.

Enhanced Transparency: Provide clear links to original issues, improving transparency and reducing confusion for users.

I believe these improvements will significantly enhance the overall efficiency and productivity of the project. I would love to take on this project and bring these ideas to life.

Thank you for considering my request. Looking forward to your response.

Best regards, Ankita.
