Group Project Merge Integration Agent

Integrate everyone's branches into a working main before the deadline

Group Project Merge Integration Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

With two days to the deadline, four people merge their branches and the build breaks. This agent reads all open branches and the main branch, then tries merging them in a copy, in a sensible order. It finds conflicts and reads both sides to understand what each author meant. It proposes a resolution for each conflict and runs the build and tests after every merge. If the tests fail, it works out which merge or which resolution caused it and tries another order or fix. It repeats until main builds and passes all tests with all branches in. The team reviews and approves the merge. Edge case: two branches both rename the same function, so the agent asks the authors which name to keep.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It merges the smallest and most independent branches first, resolves conflicts by keeping both authors' intent, and accepts a merge only when the build and tests pass.

  • Merge small independent branches first
  • Ask the authors when two changes conflict in meaning
  • Never keep a resolution that makes a test fail
  • Stop after 5 attempts on one conflict and ask the team

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Merge order rules
  • Build and test commands
  • Attempts per conflict (default 5)
  • Branches to include
  • How authors are asked

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Team approves the final merge to main
  • Branch authors confirm their conflict resolutions

Hard limits

  • Work in a copy, never push to main without approval
  • Never discard anyone's changes silently

It stops when

  • Done: main builds and all tests pass with all branches merged
  • Stop: a conflict needs a team decision about design

An example run

What happensFour branches were open two days before the deadline. The agent merged login first, then search, then profile. Merging profile gave 3 conflicts and the build failed on a renamed helper, so the check failed. It found both branches renamed formatDate and asked the authors. They chose format_date. The next build passed 41 tests. The fourth branch merged cleanly. The team approved the merge.
