Hi @CalCameron,
I'm running into an issue when AutoGPT attempts to change the contents of a file that it recently created, resulting in:

System: Command write_to_file returned: Error: File has already been updated.

To clarify, this isn't just appending text. It's a code file and some is being re-written so append_to_file shouldn't apply here.

As it's currently implemented, the check_duplicate_operation function doesn't take text content into account. Since the function is only called by the "write" and "delete" operations, checking if the filename exists may be a simpler way to determine repeat actions. For "write", maybe instead of reading a log file, the function can verify the file exists and then read_file to compare existing and new text content; only writing if different and erroring otherwise.

That being said, while I understand not wanting to get stuck in a loop, wasting time and money, I wonder if this is the best place to check for it? It may be more beneficial to handle that logic in a core function like execute_command in app.py.

This seemed like a more direct way to start this conversation as opposed to the sea of Issues.
Please correct me if not and I'll submit a proper issue.

Thanks
