Pseudolife-MCP: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/merge-forward/SKILL.md

merge-forward is a skill for Claude Code from Pseudogiant-xr/Pseudolife-MCP. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,305 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Merge-forward guidance defines rare cases where a pull request may be merged before new checks finish after its branch was updated from the main branch. A pull request is a proposed code change for review, and CI is the automated process that checks it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before merging a pull request after a branch update, especially when deciding whether earlier passing checks still apply to the new merge result.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from bypassing checks based on guesswork when the merged code has not been tested. It limits exceptions to specific, verifiable cases and requires the appropriate maintainer authority.

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-forward 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 today.

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.

Merging without fresh CI on the updated head

Ordinary PRs never merge directly: they land through an integrate/* batch (docs/dev/merge-batches.md), because a push to any other branch runs only the fast CI lanes. A batch PR normally needs passing CI for its current head integrated with current master (CLAUDE.md, "Shipping checklist"). These two exceptions let a batch PR merge on the CI an earlier head of it passed, after master moved; "the PR" below is that batch PR and "either side" is the batch against master. Both are to be removed when the GitHub merge queue is enabled. When in doubt, close the batch and build the next one.

Merging before CI reports on the new head is a ruleset bypass (admin merge), so only the maintainer or the maintainer's delegate does it.

A. Disjoint merge-forward

Added after #592 waited 25 minutes on a CHANGELOG-only conflict. All of these must hold:

  1. The previous batch head passed every lane a batch runs: test, test-lite-linux, test-lite-windows, test-lite-macos, frontend, CodeQL and both Parity gates. The merge-forward commit is the only commit pushed since, since nothing is fixed inside a batch.
  2. The two sides share no file except docs-only files (as CLAUDE.md's "Docs-only changes" defines them) and rust/producer-census.json, the census both sides' batches regenerate (item 3). Compute it, don't eyeball it: base=$(git merge-base <previous head> origin/master). Master's set is git diff --name-only $base..origin/master; the PR's set is git diff --name-only $base...<previous head>.
  3. No hand resolution outside docs: git show --remerge-diff --name-only <merge commit> lists only docs-only files. llms-full.txt is regenerated with python ops/gen_llms_txt.py, never hand-merged. rust/producer-census.json is regenerated with python rust/producer_census.py in the merge commit whenever the merge changes a file it scans (--check must then exit 0), never hand-merged; CI gates every batch and the master push on its currency.
  4. Neither side changes shared ground: pyproject.toml, lock files or .github/workflows/; tests/conftest.py, fixtures or imported test helpers; schema, DDL or migrations; generated outputs (pseudolife_memory/web/static/).
  5. Neither side's code reaches the other's only through a dynamic import, a subprocess, or HTTP or MCP calls into a daemon whose behaviour the other side changed.
  6. On the merged head, run locally every test file either side added or changed since $base, plus the doc guards and every test naming a touched doc path. All must pass. Read overlapping doc hunks for contradictions; a clean doc auto-merge can still contradict itself.

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.

merge-forward is a skill published in the GitHub repository Pseudogiant-xr/Pseudolife-MCP (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 1,305 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-20.
