resolving-merge-conflicts

Matt Pocock

For the moment you are mid-rebase with twelve conflicted files and no memory of what either side was trying to do. It reads both sides for intent rather than picking a hunk and moving on.

Goes well with

  • executing-plans

    Works a written plan through to the end.

    Jesse VincentPlanningDelivery

    The other half of writing-plans. It keeps the agent on the plan it agreed to, step by step, rather than quietly redesigning halfway down.

  • using-git-worktrees

    Gives the work an isolated workspace before it starts.

    Jesse VincentDelivery

    Sets up a worktree so a feature or a plan runs somewhere other than your current checkout. Cheap insurance when an agent is about to touch a lot of files.

  • subagent-driven-development

    Runs the independent parts of a plan in parallel.

    Jesse VincentDelivery

    For a plan whose tasks do not depend on each other. It hands them to separate agents in the same session, which is faster and keeps each one's context focused on its own piece.
