Version Chaos Untangler

Q: How do I know the Version Chaos Untangler output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Every findable copy is in the census before any verdict; The canonical argument is lineage-based, not timestamp-only; Divergent judgment calls were confirmed by their authors, listed; Every old copy now points to the canonical or is gone.

Untangle a document that exists in six copies across email, drives, and desktops — establish the canonical version defensibly, merge the divergent edits, and install the single-source rule that prevents the rematch. Use when asked which version is the real one, merge these document copies, we've been editing different files, or stop the version chaos on this doc. Produces the version census with the canonical verdict, the divergence merge plan, the announce-and-redirect step, and the single-source going-forward rules.

What to give it

▸The copies — everywhere it lives (search email attachments by filename, both drives, ask the usual suspects); the census is only as good as the hunt

▸The stakes — a contract mid-negotiation and a team doc carry different merge rigor; legal-adjacent docs get the careful version

▸The editors — who touched it recently; diverged edits need their authors for the judgment calls

▸The platform reality — where the canonical *should* live (the versioned platform — cloud doc or drive with history — not email, not desktops)

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Every findable copy is in the census before any verdict

✓The canonical argument is lineage-based, not timestamp-only

✓Divergent judgment calls were confirmed by their authors, listed

✓Every old copy now points to the canonical or is gone

✓The doc's new home has version history — the suffix era is over for this file

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not crown the newest by default — the newest fork of the wrong branch is still wrong

Do not merge judgment conflicts by taste — authors confirm their own clauses

Do not canonicalize silently — unannounced truth loses to bookmarked habit

Do not leave the winner on a desktop or in a thread — un-versioned homes restart the chaos

Do not send attachments of the untangled doc — every attachment is the sequel's opening scene
