A set of on-demand operations procedures for merging pull requests and recovering work from branches. A pull request is a proposed code change for review, and a branch is a separate line of development.

Use it when merging pull requests, combining branches, or salvaging work from branches that cannot be merged normally.

It provides a defined process for handling merges and branch problems while checking project settings, service health, and required rules.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00031	$0.08006
Opus 5	$0.00015	$0.04003
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.01601
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00801

Security

Grade B, and why

ops-merge scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 624 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Runtime Context

Before executing, load:

Preferences: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/preferences.json — read owner, timezone, project registry
Daemon health: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/daemon-health.json — if action_needed set, surface to user
Secrets: GitHub token: env $GITHUB_TOKEN → Doppler MCP (mcp__doppler__*) → doppler secrets get GITHUB_TOKEN --plain → password manager

OPS ► MERGE

Load ops-rules before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If AskUserQuestion / Workflow are missing, follow Rule 10 in ops-rules (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; delegate_task).

Agent Teams support

If CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1 is set, use Agent Teams for fixer agents (Phase 3). This enables:

Steering fixers mid-flight if priorities change (e.g., a critical PR should be merged first)
Fixers can report blockers and you can redirect them without waiting for completion
Shared context: if fixer-A discovers a breaking change that affects fixer-B's PR, you can notify B

Team setup (only when flag is enabled, Phase 3):

TeamCreate("merge-fixers")
Agent(team_name="merge-fixers", name="fixer-[repo]", ...)

Use SendMessage(to="fixer-my-api", content="PR #2958 was just merged — rebase your branch") to coordinate.

If the flag is NOT set, fall back to standard parallel subagents with isolation: "worktree".

Pre-gathered PR data

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-merge-scan 2>/dev/null || echo '{"prs":[],"error":"merge-scan failed"}'

Pre-gathered salvage data (orphan worktrees, branches without PRs, uncommitted/unpushed work)

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/ops-merge-salvage-scan 2>/dev/null || echo '{"repos":[],"error":"salvage-scan failed"}'

Your task

You are the merge orchestrator. Your job is to get every open PR across the owner's repos merged — fixing whatever blocks them first.

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.

ops-merge is a skill published in the GitHub repository Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops (187 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 8,006 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
