What problem does it solve?
This Skill safely orchestrates merging a completed Product Backlog Item into the main branch while preventing unsafe parallel merges, preserving repository state, and routing failures to the right recovery path.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Controlled Merge Execution: Runs the repository's merge wrapper with lock protection and validates backlog, worktree, branch, and tracked-file preconditions.
- Failure-Aware Recovery: Distinguishes preflight errors, merge conflicts, missing artifacts, regression failures, and post-merge bookkeeping faults using explicit exit codes.
- Developer Coordination: Sends targeted instructions for conflict resolution, artifact restoration, regression debugging, retries, and escalation after three consecutive failures.
- Use Case: When a Developer reports that a PBI is ready to merge, use this Skill to merge it, confirm the resulting status, notify the Developer, or initiate the appropriate recovery workflow.
Quick Start
Ask the Skill to process the PBI identified by the Developer's PBI_READY_TO_MERGE notification and complete the merge or recovery workflow.
