merge

merge is a skill for Claude Code from RockyHong/super-bootstrap. It costs 130 tokens per session (3,309 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Git branch-integration workflow that brings one or more feature branches into a base branch, choosing merge or rebase for each one.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect unmerged branches, review their changes, and merge or rebase them into the base branch.
Why use it?
It provides a controlled way to combine separate lines of development and stops safely when files conflict. Conflict resolution is left to a designated agent or the user.

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 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 2d 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 — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

merge — Branch Absorption

Absorb feature branches into the base branch; several branches land as one batch (§ 5b). Conflict resolution is NOT this skill's job — abort, surface, stop. Regenerating derived output (§ 5b step 2) is not resolution: it takes no judgment.

Branch Absorption Lane (load-bearing)

Branch integration is a topology operation on the commit graph. Route through the merge tool — git merge, this skill, or worker-direct-merge. File extension is not a routing signal; a docs-only branch is still branch integration.

Pre-flight when integration is in scope

Triggers: branch named for absorption, current branch behind base, worker returned with branch unmerged.

  1. git branch --no-merged <base> — list unmerged tips.
  2. For any file slated for edit: git log <base>..<branch> -- <path>. Non-empty → merge lane.
  3. To inspect merge state, materialize it: git merge --no-commit --no-ff <branch>, then git merge --abort. Read git diff <base>..<branch> for review only, never as input to a hand-applied edit across base.

Conflict Doctrine (load-bearing)

When git merge or git rebase stops with unmerged paths (git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U lists files):

  1. Abort immediately — git merge --abort (for merge) or git rebase --abort (for rebase). Restore the working tree.
  2. Surface, don't resolve. Output the branch name, the conflict file list (the unmerged-path list above, captured BEFORE abort), and which strategy hit the conflict.
  3. Stop the run. Do not attempt resolution — resolution never runs inside this skill. The step-2 surface is the conflict scope. Route it: if the consuming repo's harness names a conflict-resolution agent (its CLAUDE.md or agent roster — e.g. a builder/implementer agent), offer dispatching that agent with the conflict scope and the § Resolver contract below as the recommended next step; otherwise the user resolves manually or re-dispatches with a different strategy.

This rule applies to every branch in the queue. If branch A conflicts, abort A, surface, then continue with branches B, C — they're independent attempts. Don't skip them silently.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository RockyHong/super-bootstrap (3 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 3,309 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
