What it does
Use this skill to diagnose and resolve what blocks a DevOps Center promotion of a work item's feature branch: Git merge conflicts and deployment failures. DevOps Center is Git-backed, so overlapping metadata changes surface as merge conflicts against the target stage branch, resolved with git (detect, resolve markers, commit, push). Deploy failures often cite a missing dependency a full promotion can fix when the component already exists on the branch. TRIGGER when the user wants to check a work item for conflicts before promoting, resolve merge conflicts or leftover conflict markers in metadata files (.xml, .object-meta.xml, .cls), reconcile a feature branch with its target stage branch, or diagnose why a DevOps Center promotion or deployment failed and whether a full promotion or a missing-dependency fix will resolve it. DO NOT TRIGGER for running the promotion itself (use dx-devops-promote), creating or updating work items (use dx-devops-work-item-manage), or deploying metadata directly to an org.
DevOps Center Conflict & Deploy-Failure Resolution
Diagnoses and resolves what blocks a DevOps Center promotion of a work item's feature branch. DevOps Center is Git-backed: each work item is a feature branch and each pipeline stage has a target branch. A promotion can fail two ways, a Git merge conflict (two work items changed the same metadata) or a deployment failure (the deploy itself errors, often on a missing dependency). There is no sf devops conflict CLI command; both cases are diagnosed and resolved with standard git against the connected repository. This skill runs in a local clone of that repo.
Scope
- In scope: (a) Detect merge conflicts between a work item's feature branch and the target stage branch (non-destructively), resolve conflicted files (choose a side or manually merge conflict markers), commit, and push the feature branch DevOps Center tracks; (b) Diagnose a promotion deploy failure, classify it as a merge conflict vs. a deploy error, parse a missing dependency, and determine whether a full promotion can fix it (the component exists on the feature branch) or the component must be added first
- Out of scope: Running the promotion, full promotion, or combine (use
dx-devops-promote), creating/updating work items or their status (usedx-devops-work-item-manage), deploying metadata directly to an org, pipeline or project setup (separate skills)
