merge-prep from cypher0n3/dotagents is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add cypher0n3/dotagents/merge-prep@git:20260910.9ed0c5c

Pins git:20260910.9ed0c5c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

License
a license file GitHub does not identify

Prepare for merge by cleaning up and consolidating commits. Invoke only when explicitly called by user.

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 Preparation

Prepare the current branch for merge into the default branch by resetting its commits and rebuilding them as a comprehensive, logically grouped set.

This skill rewrites history.
Complete the preflight checks before touching anything, and stop and ask rather than guessing at any step that names a branch, a remote, or a base commit.

## Preflight

Do all of the following before making any change.
Stop and report if any check fails; do not work around a failed check.

1. Confirm the working tree is clean:

   ```bash
   git status --porcelain
   ```

   Any output means uncommitted or untracked changes are present.
   Stop and ask the user whether to commit, stash, or discard them.
   Do not proceed with a dirty tree: `git reset --mixed` puts the branch's committed work into the same unstaged pile as those changes, and the verification in the Rebuild section can no longer tell them apart.

2. Determine the remote and the default branch instead of assuming `origin` and `main`:

   ```bash
   git remote
   git symbolic-ref --quiet refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD
   ```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cypher0n3/dotagents/merge-prep@sha256:9805b6c0a155eb17

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.9ed0c5c, 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.
