Conflict Resolution

When any Superwiser tool returns results containing "⚠️ CONFLICT [id]", you must resolve the conflict before proceeding.

What Is a Conflict?

A conflict occurs when the user has expressed contradictory preferences at different times. For example:

• "Always use tabs for indentation" vs "Use 2-space indentation"
• "Prefer functional components" vs "Use class components for state"

How to Resolve

1. Present the conflict clearly to the user:

   SuperWiser Conflict [abc123]:
   I found conflicting preferences:
   1. "Always use tabs for indentation" (from when you were setting up the project)
   2. "Use 2-space indentation" (from your React work last week)
   
   Which should I follow? Or do they apply in different contexts?
   

2. Wait for the user's response. They can:

   • Pick a number (e.g., "1" or "use the first one")
   • Say "both" or "all" if both rules should be kept
   • Explain when each applies (e.g., "tabs for Python, spaces for JS")
   • Say "skip" to ignore for now

3. After the user responds, continue with your work. You do NOT need to:

   • Call any tools to resolve or delete rules
   • Process the response in any special way
   • The conflict resolution is handled automatically in the background

Important

• Do NOT skip conflicts - they indicate important ambiguity in user preferences
• Do NOT guess which rule to follow - always ask the user
• Do NOT call any MCP tools to "resolve" the conflict - just continue after they respond
