What problem does it solve?
When code review threads stall due to reviewer-author disagreement, this Skill provides an evidence-first workflow to break the impasse, document the outcome, and define escalation so work can continue without sacrificing code quality.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Conflict Classification: Identifies whether the dispute is a standards violation, design trade-off, or personal preference to guide the appropriate response.
- Evidence-grounded Resolution: Cites applicable standards, tests, or data and offers at least two resolution options with trade-offs.
- Escalation & Recordkeeping: Assigns decision owners, outlines escalation paths (tech lead, maintainer, manager), and produces a concise record to post in the review thread; useful when preparing release-critical CLs or recurring team policy changes.
Quick Start
Use the google-review-conflict-resolution skill with the disputed comments, relevant code excerpts, ownership and timeline constraints to produce a Conflict Summary, Standards/Evidence, Resolution Options, Decision, and a Record Note ready to post in the review thread.
