<!-- BEGIN:compound:skill-managed -->

Purpose

Resolve merge conflicts in compound-managed LOOM docs without breaking compound fences.

When To Use

• You see

  <<<<<<<

  ,

  =======

  , or

  >>>>>>>

  in

  LOOM_CHANGELOG.md

  or

  LOOM_ROADMAP.md

  .
• A merge/rebase touched compound-managed blocks and left conflicts.

Procedure

• Open the conflicted file and locate every conflict hunk.
• Preserve the compound fences exactly:
  • Keep

    <!-- BEGIN:compound:... -->

    and

    <!-- END:compound:... -->

    lines unchanged.
  • Do not duplicate or reorder fence lines.
• For conflicted list entries inside fences:
  • Prefer keeping both sides' entries, then dedupe exact duplicates.
  • Maintain consistent bullet formatting:

    - <timestamp> <note>

    .
  • Keep ordering stable (typically newest-first if the file already uses that pattern).
• Remove all conflict marker lines (

  <<<<<<<

  ,

  =======

  ,

  >>>>>>>

  ) after selecting the final content.
• Sanity check:
  • No conflict markers remain.
  • Markdown renders as a single list (no nested accidental

    - -

    unless the file intentionally uses it).
  • The file contains exactly one BEGIN and one END for each compound block.
• Run docs sync to refresh derived indexes/managed blocks (so downstream agents don’t learn from broken docs).
