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.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file 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>
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add undefined-ui/second-brain-os/second-brain-merge@sha256:9d5aa76e507a49fa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260908.1615b29, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
