melt

melt is a skill for Claude Code from paulnsorensen/easy-cheese. It costs 104 tokens per session (2,371 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for resolving Git conflicts during merges, rebases, or cherry-picks. Git conflicts happen when separate changes affect the same code and must be reconciled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Handling conflict markers, checking for leftover merge artifacts, applying remembered resolutions, and manually combining competing versions of files.
Why use it?
It provides an ordered way to try structural merging, replay earlier fixes, and open a visual comparison tool when automatic resolution is not enough.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 skills/melt/scripts/melt.pyz detect-squash-residue.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 82
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

melt 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 277 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/melt

Use this skill to resolve Git conflicts with this cascade: mergiraf → rerere → kdiff3. Each stage handles conflicts that remain after the prior stage.

File IO routing

Use the selected source-code backend for conflict searches, bounded reads, and manual edits. Follow the route in code-intelligence-routing.md. Use this sequence for manual resolutions: search, fresh bounded read, stale-safe write.

Cascade

Stage Tool Purpose Start condition
1 mergiraf Merges syntax trees and preserves independent additions. It uses text merge after a parse failure. Git starts it as a merge driver, or the user runs batch-resolve.
2 git rerere Reuses a recorded human resolution for the same conflict signature. Run it after mergiraf when rerere.enabled is true.
3 kdiff3 Provides a manual three-way diff for unresolved conflicts. Start it with git mergetool --tool=kdiff3.

Protocol

0. Check for squash residue

Run this check before the conflict summary.

python3 skills/melt/scripts/melt.pyz detect-squash-residue

If the verdict is SQUASH-MERGED, stop the cascade. Show both printed remedies to the user without changes. Do not apply either remedy automatically. The user selects and copies one remedy.

Flags:

  • --base — Sets the base ref. The default is origin/main.
  • --branch — Sets the branch. The default is the current branch.
  • --json — Produces structured output.

The detector checks these signals in order:

  • tree-match — Searches base commits for a tree that matches a branch point. A match identifies the equivalent squash point. This check works offline and supports fork PRs, renames, and later branch commits.
  • gh-api — Runs with tree-match. It adds the PR number, URL, and merge commit when its commit data matches. It can provide the verdict when tree-match finds no match.
  • local-synth — Creates a possible squash commit from the HEAD tree. It uses git cherry to find an equivalent commit on the base. It runs only when the other signals provide no verdict. It cannot separate squashed commits from unique commits.

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.
