resolving-merge-conflicts

resolving-merge-conflicts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JakubMikolajek/codex-skills-collection. It costs 39 tokens per session (812 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step method for finishing a Git merge or rebase when both sides changed the same code. Git is a version-control system, and a conflict is a place where it cannot combine changes automatically.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a merge or rebase has unmerged files or conflict markers. It traces each side back to its original reason before resolving the code.
Why use it?
It helps preserve the purpose of both changes instead of choosing one side blindly and losing work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

resolving-merge-conflicts scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Resolving Merge Conflicts

This skill resolves active merge and rebase conflicts without blindly choosing a side or losing either change's intent.

When to Use

  • git status shows an in-progress merge or rebase with Unmerged paths
  • The working tree contains conflict markers from an active merge or rebase
  • User asks to resolve, continue, or finish a conflicted merge or rebase

When NOT to Use

  • No merge or rebase is in progress — this skill resolves an existing operation; it does not start one
  • A trivial conflict is already fully understood and intent tracing would be pure overhead — still run a quick sanity check

Core Principle

Intent-Traced Resolution

  • For each conflicting hunk, find the primary source for each side's change: commit message, PR or issue description, linked ticket
  • Understand why each change was made before choosing a resolution
  • Never pick ours or theirs blindly

Resolution Process

Use the checklist below and track your progress:

Merge conflict resolution progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Assess operation state and list conflicted files
- [ ] Step 2: Read each conflicted hunk and trace both sides' intent
- [ ] Step 3: Resolve each hunk without inventing behavior
- [ ] Step 4: Run relevant automated checks after each file is resolved
- [ ] Step 5: Stage resolved files and continue the operation

Step 1 — Assess current state

  1. Run git status
  2. List conflicted files: git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U
  3. Confirm whether the active operation is a merge or rebase

Step 2 — Trace intent hunk by hunk

  1. Read both sides of every conflicting hunk
  2. Find each side's primary source: commit message, PR or issue description, linked ticket
  3. Record why each side changed the code before resolving the hunk

Step 3 — Resolve deliberately

  1. Preserve both intents where possible
  2. Where intents are genuinely incompatible, choose the one matching the merge's stated goal
  3. Explicitly note the trade-off in a code comment or merge commit message
  4. Never silently discard the other side's work
  5. Do not invent behavior beyond what either side already expressed

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
