Ca Conflict Agent Skill
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.

6 sections, as written by the author/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
- Halt — suspend the in-progress task. No partial progress.
- Identify the conflicting sources (A and B): which document, file, or rule each is.
- Quote the exact passages side by side.
- 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.
- 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.

Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.
Analyzes job descriptions and generates tailored resumes that highlight relevant experience, skills, and achievements to maximize interview chances
Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.
Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
