Offline Sync Conflict Review

Use this skill to convert a offline queues, sync state, conflict resolution, local data safety, and multi-device recovery question into a concrete artifact with owners, gates, metrics, and recovery paths.

Workflow

1. Identify user job, entity types, mutation types, offline duration, device count, authority model, and harm from wrong merge.
2. Read references/offline-sync-conflict-patterns.md.
3. Classify data as append-only, editable profile, collaborative document, financial/legal, media attachment, or system setting.
4. Define local storage, mutation log, idempotency, ordering, tombstones, merge policy, conflict UI, retry, and recovery telemetry.
5. Produce sync state machine, conflict decision table, event schema, UX copy, and QA scenario checklist.

When not to use

• Do not use for generic advice the base model already handles without this skill's specific artifact contract.
