Semantic Merge Adjudicator

Category: Security  ·  Sub-category: security-misc  ·  Last updated:
Use when parallel agents in a convoy or across git worktrees hit a write conflict on shared state — a git tree, a config, or a shared document — and you must decide whether the conflict is semantically real. Classifies each conflicting hunk as independent (keep both), redundant (pick one), or a genuine clash (escalate), instead of blind locks, abort-and-retry, or escalate-everything. Sits ABOVE refinery-merge and NEVER blind auto-merges: it wraps an LLM judgment, defaults to escalate on any uncertainty, and unconditionally escalates any hunk touching .planning/, config, credentials, or safety-critical paths. Backed by CoAgent (arxiv 2606.15376v1). Triggers on write conflicts between parallel agents on shared repo state.

From the source SKILL.md

When two convoy polecats or two git-worktree agents write the same shared state, their diffs may overlap by bytes without colliding in meaning. This skill adds a semantic decision layer above refinery-merge: it classifies each conflicting hunk as independent, redundant, or clash, so the merge queue is not forced to escalate every syntactic overlap. It never pushes and never blind auto-merges — a down-classified result re-enters refinery-merge's existing test gate.

What this skill does

Semantic Merge Adjudicator is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/semantic-merge-adjudicator/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
