What it does

Merge Hazards is an agent skill from ritchiecarroll/go2cs. Merge or rebase concurrent lane branches. Silent duplication and silent subtraction, stale-base illusions, adjacent-insert hunks, ordinals, registry-count coincidences, and the checks that catch what git reports as a clean merge.

Its SKILL.md is about 21k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `merge-probe.sh`).

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Golang to C Converter.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/merge-hazards”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 20279db. 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

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • go
    • python

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Merge Hazards loads about 21k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,080 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~21k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 4,080 words (~21,368 tokens).

“Phase 1 of docs/PLAN-context-diet.md: RELOCATION ONLY, no compression, no edits. The byte-identical original is docs/doctrine/JOURNAL-2026-09-12.md. Phase 2 distills this file. Keep every dated derivation, but move it into an HTML comment beside the rule it justifies: comments are stripped before…”
