merge-reconciler

merge-reconciler is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nobodyohm-web/Thot. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,772 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-merge-conflict-arbiter, MIT.

A neutral helper for resolving Git merge conflicts between branches made by different coding agents. A merge conflict happens when Git cannot safely combine overlapping changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Combining conflicting changes from parallel branches or worktrees using both agents' code differences and stated intentions.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that one agent will overwrite the other agent's work or discard its own changes while resolving a conflict.

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-reconciler 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 9d 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 Reconciler

Resolve a git merge conflict between two AGENTS' branches as an impartial third party. Agents resolving conflicts against a peer's work reliably either overwrite the peer or abandon their own change — they lack the peer's context and are biased toward their own side. This skill is the fix: a neutral reconciler that receives both diffs plus both sides' stated intents and produces a merged result, like a merge-queue arbiter.

When to Use

  • Two agent branches/worktrees collide during a parallel campaign (kanban engineering pipeline, parallel-PR wave, multi-worktree refactor).
  • git merge or git rebase halts on conflicts between two agents' work and neither original agent should self-adjudicate.
  • Do NOT use for conflicts within a single agent's own work, or for trivial lockfile/generated-file conflicts (regenerate those instead).

Prerequisites

  • A repo checkout containing the halted merge, or the two branch names plus permission to run the merge yourself.
  • Both sides' intent sources: kanban completion summaries (terminal running hermes kanban show <task-id>), PR bodies, or at minimum each branch's commit messages.
  • The project's build/test command, if one exists.

How to Run

Standalone — a human (or agent) invokes this skill inside the conflicted repo: load the skill, then follow the Procedure top to bottom.

Spawned neutral agent — the preferred shape in multi-agent campaigns:

  • delegate_task: spawn a subagent whose task message contains the repo path, both branch names, and both sides' intent summaries verbatim, plus an instruction to follow this skill.
  • Kanban-native: create a reconciliation card assigned to a third profile (not either worker's profile) with BOTH conflicted cards linked as parents — kanban_create(title="reconcile branch-a x branch-b", assignee="reconciler", parents=["t_a", "t_b"]). The parent links carry both sides' completion summaries into the reconciler's context automatically; the card body should name the repo path and the two branches.

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.
