Resolves an in-progress git merge or rebase conflict by tracing why each side changed, reconciling every conflicted hunk, running the project's checks, and finishing the merge or rebase. Use when a merge, rebase, or pull stops on conflicts, or the user asks to resolve conflicts in an active merge or rebase. Not for standalone conflict-marker cleanup.

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

1. **See the current state** of the merge/rebase. Confirm that Git reports an active merge or rebase before editing or staging anything. If neither is active, stop and explain that standalone conflict-marker cleanup is ordinary editing outside this skill; do not create a merge commit or run a continuation command. Otherwise check git history and the conflicting files. Record the conflicted paths and existing unrelated staged, unstaged, and untracked work so it remains unchanged.

2. **Find the primary sources** for each conflict. Understand deeply why each change was made, and what the original intent was. Read the commit messages, check the PRs, check the original issues. When there are many conflicts, hand this research to a sub-agent that returns only the intent of each side.

3. **Resolve each hunk.** Preserve both intents where possible. Where incompatible, pick the one matching the merge's stated goal and note the trade-off. Do **not** invent new behaviour. Always resolve; never `--abort`.

4. Discover the project's **automated checks** and run them, typically typecheck, then tests, then format. Fix anything the merge broke.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add svyatov/supermatt/resolving-merge-conflicts@sha256:1d8dde7ba68c76e3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.f19c25a, 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.
