second-brain-merge skillA

second-brain-merge is agent-read markdown (skill) from undefined-ui/second-brain-os: Merge two pages that describe the same thing, preserving every distinct claim, redirecting inbound links, and recording the merge. Use this skill when the user approves a duplicate merge, says "these are the same page", "merge X into Y", or asks to clean up near-duplicates that a lint run proposed. Do NOT use to merge pages on your own judgement, to delete a page outright, or to split one page into several..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Merge duplicate pages

A merge is irreversible in the way that matters: afterwards you cannot tell
which claim came from which page. Two ideas that look identical from their
summaries are often a general case and a specific one.

## Core rule

Never merge unprompted. Propose, wait for approval, then follow the procedure
exactly.

## Workflow

1. **Pick the survivor** by canonical name, not by which page is longer.
2. **Merge content.** Every distinct claim survives with its source. Overlapping
   claims collapse; differing ones both stay, following the contradiction rules.
3. **Merge aliases,** including the dead page's title as an alias on the
   survivor. This is what keeps old links and the user's memory working.
4. **Redirect inbound links** to the survivor. Check every backlink.
5. **Delete the old page,** or leave a stub only if it was linked from outside
   the vault.
6. **Record in `log.md`:** both names, the date, and why.

## Output format

```
Merged: [[old]] -> [[survivor]]
Claims kept from old page: <n>
Aliases added: <list>
Inbound links redirected: <n>
Conflicts recorded: <none | description>
```
