What it does

Ca Conflict is an agent skill from arbiterForge/codeArbiter. Stop everything and surface a rule conflict — persona vs. docs vs. code. Present both sides and the conflict-hierarchy level; the user resolves. No silent reconciliation.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping. It works with Visual Studio Code. The repository describes itself as: Open-source governance and hard gates for AI coding agents across Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Pi. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Accounting and bookkeeping

Example prompts

  • “/ca-conflict”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Halt — suspend the in-progress task. No partial progress.
  2. Identify the conflicting sources (A and B): which document, file, or rule each is.
  3. Quote the exact passages side by side.
  4. Classify the conflict against the §2 conflict-resolution hierarchy and name the level the
  5. Present and wait. Work resumes only after the user explicitly resolves.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9496cff. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ca Conflict loads about 574 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 242 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~574

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

/ca-conflict — conflict protocol

Orchestrator protocol, not a skill route. When a rule conflict surfaces — the persona, a .codearbiter/ document, and code contradict each other, or two docs contradict each other — all other work STOPs and the conflict is presented for the user to resolve. The orchestrator never picks a side.

Flow

  1. Halt — suspend the in-progress task. No partial progress.
  2. Identify the conflicting sources (A and B): which document, file, or rule each is.
  3. Quote the exact passages side by side.
  4. Classify the conflict against the §2 conflict-resolution hierarchy and name the level the tension sits at. Note which source was more recently updated — informational, not determinative.
  5. Present and wait. Work resumes only after the user explicitly resolves.

Output

## Conflict detected — work halted

### Source A
File: <path> · Last updated: <date>
> <exact quoted text>

### Source B
File: <path> · Last updated: <date>
> <exact quoted text>

### Nature of conflict
<what the two sources disagree about>

### Conflict-hierarchy level
Level N — <why the tension sits here>

### To resolve
<options — update A, update B, or supersede one via an ADR>

---
Work is halted. Resolve before the orchestrator proceeds.

When routed automatically

The orchestrator surfaces a conflict on its own when the persona and a .codearbiter/ doc contradict each other, two docs contradict, code contradicts an accepted ADR, a new ADR contradicts an accepted one, or a task instruction contradicts a hard gate.

After resolution

The orchestrator records the resolution; if the user authorized a doc update, it makes that update (the one sanctioned side effect) and resumes from the suspension point.

Hard gate

MUST stop ALL other work. MUST NOT pick a side without explicit user instruction. MUST NOT decide by recency alone. MUST NOT silently continue past a detected conflict. If the conflict involves a guessed or auto-resolved [CONFIRM-NN], flag that as a separate critical finding.
