Purpose

After a forking-realities cast completes and all clones are DEAD, the CLI automatically generates docs/merge-reviews/<castId>.md with a scored ranking of all candidates. This skill describes how the main agent reads the review, interprets scores, and promotes a winner.

Allowed

  • Read merge-review documents from docs/merge-reviews/<castId>.md.
  • Override the scoring engine's recommendation when domain knowledge suggests the lower-scored candidate is better.
  • Promote any clone in the roster, not just the top-ranked one.
  • Inspect individual worktree branches before promoting to validate solution quality.
  • Re-run merge-review if metrics look stale (e.g. after manual fixes in a worktree).

The merge-review document contains:

  1. Verdict — auto_merge_eligible | manual_review_required | no_candidates_passed_gate | dominance_inversion_flagged.
  2. Score table — per-candidate normalized scores on 6 axes (coverage, diff, complexity, typeCheck, lint, perf) plus composite score.
  3. Disqualified section — candidates whose test suite failed.
  4. Tie-break explanation — axis priority → Pareto dominance → self-certainty → defer to main.
  5. Weight adjustments — agentic rubric pre-pass adjustments based on project config.
  6. Proposed merge command — the exact git merge command.

Promote via /manta promote <castId>/<cloneId>. This merges the winner's branch (--no-ff), graveyards loser worktrees, removes the winner worktree, and emits a promote event.

Forbidden

  • Auto-promoting without reading the review.
  • Ignoring dominance_inversion_flagged verdicts — they indicate weight mis-calibration.
  • Promoting from a cast that has no merge-review event (the command will reject this).

Examples

A typical merge-review flow:

  1. Cast completes: manta cast forking-realities --clones 3 --task "implement feature X".
  2. All clones die. CLI auto-generates docs/merge-reviews/cast-123456.md.
  3. Read the review: clone B scores 0.82, clone A scores 0.79, clone C disqualified (test failure).
  4. Verify: git diff main...manta/cast-123456/B — confirm the diff is sane.
  5. Promote: /manta promote cast-123456/B.
  6. Result: B's branch merged, A's worktree moved to graveyard, C's worktree moved to graveyard.
