## What it does

This command scans state databases such as `@.sync-state.json`, checks conflict logs via `*conflict*` and `*sync-errors*` shell searches, and reads merge parameters from `conflict-rules.json`. Claude Code executes it with `Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, and `Bash` access across actions like `detect`, `resolve`, `analyze`, `configure`, or `report`.

It handles conflict resolution through distinct strategies: latest-wins, field-level merging, interactive manual choices, system priority, or custom rules. Quality assurance includes backing up state files before altering them, verifying results, and preserving rollback capabilities.

If `conflict-rules.json` is missing or rules are ambiguous, automated merging for complex nested records will require interactive user decisions.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command sync/sync-conflict-resolver
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/sync-conflict-resolver.md` — Call it with /sync-conflict-resolver. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/sync-conflict-resolver.md` — Call it with /prompts:sync-conflict-resolver. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/sync-conflict-resolver.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/sync-conflict-resolver.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

## When to use it
- Locate version mismatches and timing discrepancies in sync state files
- Apply automated field-level merging or latest-wins priority
- Create safety backups before altering records to support instant rollback
- Generate summary reports from historical conflict and error logs

## Example prompts
- Run /sync-conflict-resolver detect to check for state discrepancies
- Apply field merging with /sync-conflict-resolver resolve
- Audit past issues using /sync-conflict-resolver report

# Sync Conflict Resolver

Resolve synchronization conflicts with intelligent automation: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Current Conflict State

- Sync database: @.sync-state.json or sync state files with potential conflicts
- Conflict history: !`find . -name "*conflict*" -o -name "*sync-errors*" | wc -l` conflict logs
- Resolution rules: @conflict-rules.json or existing resolution configuration
- Active conflicts: Current unresolved synchronization conflicts requiring attention

## Task

Implement comprehensive conflict resolution with intelligent automation:

**Resolution Action**: Use $ARGUMENTS to specify detect conflicts, resolve using strategies, analyze patterns, configure rules, or generate reports

**Conflict Resolution Framework**:
1. **Conflict Detection** - Scan synchronized items, compare field versions, identify timing conflicts, flag structural issues
2. **Intelligent Resolution** - Apply resolution strategies, handle field merging, preserve critical data, maintain relationships
3. **Pattern Analysis** - Study conflict trends, identify frequent issues, suggest process improvements, optimize strategies
4. **Configuration Management** - Set resolution preferences, define field priorities, configure merge rules, save automation settings
5. **Reporting & Analytics** - Generate conflict reports, track resolution success, analyze team patterns, provide insights
6. **Automated Prevention** - Implement locking mechanisms, optimize sync timing, enable change notifications, reduce conflicts

**Resolution Strategies**: Latest-wins, smart field-level merging, manual interactive resolution, system-priority resolution, custom rule-based resolution.

**Quality Assurance**: Backup before resolution, validation after changes, rollback capabilities, comprehensive audit trails.

**Output**: Resolved conflicts with detailed resolution reports, updated sync state, pattern analysis insights, and optimized conflict prevention strategies.
