merge-seed

merge-seed is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kriasoft/react-starter-kit. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,489 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for merging updates from an upstream React Starter Kit into a project that was forked from it. Upstream means the original project whose changes are being incorporated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when syncing the starter kit, pulling upstream changes, or resolving merge conflicts between the template and this project's deliberate differences.
Why use it?
It helps receive framework, dependency, build, and configuration updates while preserving the project's own names, routes, features, copy, and integrations.

About the project

React Starter Kit is a full-stack monorepo template for building SaaS web applications with React, TypeScript, tRPC, and Cloudflare Workers. A monorepo keeps related applications and packages in one repository, while the template provides frontend, backend, authentication, billing, database, and development-tool foundations. The catalogue instructions, skills, and command help developers work with this starter kit.

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

merge-seed 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 6d 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.

Merge seed updates

This project is a fork of React Starter Kit. seed/main is upstream; main is upstream plus this project's divergence. Syncing is a recurring operation.

Core rule

Upstream owns mechanism. This project owns identity and scope.

Adopt from upstream: dependency and toolchain versions, build and config structure, framework API updates, refactors, newly required bindings and variables.

Keep local: names, domains, routes, worker and service identifiers; product copy and positioning; plans, features, scope; project-only integrations and config; deliberate additions and deletions.

When a hunk mixes both, take upstream's structure and reapply local values. Never take a whole side merely to clear a conflict — whole-file resolution is valid only where a rule below makes that side authoritative. The repository defines what counts as local identity and scope: AGENTS.md, docs/adr/, docs/product/, and the current config on main.

Merge

git status --short   # must be clean

git remote get-url seed || git remote add seed https://github.com/kriasoft/react-starter-kit.git
git fetch seed

MB=$(git merge-base main seed/main)
git log --oneline "$MB..seed/main"   # read before resolving anything

git switch -c "chore/merge-seed-$(git rev-parse --short seed/main)" main
git -c merge.conflictStyle=zdiff3 merge --no-ff --no-commit --no-rerere-autoupdate seed/main
git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U   # unresolved conflicts

--no-commit stops git auto-committing a clean merge, so the commit and its subject are always ours to write. --no-rerere-autoupdate keeps every conflict in that list even when rerere has a recorded resolution to replay. If the branch already exists, an earlier sync was left unfinished — inspect it and resume or delete it deliberately, never force-reset over it.

rerere writes its replayed resolution straight into the working tree, so a conflicted file can arrive already looking finished. Treat pre-filled content as unreviewed; git rerere forget <path> to redo it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
