Agent Merge-Conflict Arbiter

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).
