-### On success
+### Clean rebase (no conflicts)
 
-Report how many commits ahead of the base branch:
+Report success briefly:
+
+- How many commits were replayed (`git rev-list --count origin/<base-branch>..HEAD`)
+- The branch is now up to date with `origin/<base-branch>`
+- If the branch was previously pushed, mention that a force-push (`git push --force-with-lease`) will be needed to update the remote — but do NOT push automatically
+
+If changes were stashed in Step 1, restore them with `git stash pop`. If stash pop fails due to conflicts, inform the user and suggest `git stash show` to review the stashed changes.
+
+## Step 4: Handling conflicts
+
+When `git rebase` stops with conflicts:
+
+### 4a. Identify conflicted files
 
 ```bash
-git rev-list --count origin/<base-branch>..HEAD
+git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U
 ```
 
-### On conflict
+### 4b. Resolve each conflicted file
+
+Read the full file content and locate conflict markers (`<<<<<<<`, `=======`, `>>>>>>>`). For each conflict chunk, decide:
+
+**Auto-resolve** (the right answer is clear):
 
-Abort the rebase:
+- Both sides added imports or list items — combine both sets, deduplicate, maintain sort order
+- Generated files (`.g.dart`, `.freezed.dart`, `.gen.dart`, lock files) — take the current branch version; note that regeneration is needed after rebase completes
+- Formatting / whitespace-only diffs — accept either side
+- One side added new code, the other didn't touch that region — take the addition
+- One side modified code the other side deleted — prefer the modification, but mention it in the summary so the user can verify the deletion wasn't intentional
+
+**Stop and ask the user** (the right answer requires judgment):
+
+- Both sides changed the same function or logic block differently
+- Business logic where correctness depends on product intent
+- Anything you aren't confident about
+
+When in doubt, ask. Losing someone's work is far worse than pausing to check.
+
+After resolving all conflicts in a file, write the clean version and stage it:
 
 ```bash
-git rebase --abort
+git add <resolved-file>
 ```
 
-If changes were stashed in Step 1, restore them with `git stash pop`.
+### 4c. Continue the rebase
 
-Inform the user that the rebase had conflicts and suggest resolving manually:
+```bash
+git rebase --continue
+```
+
+Multi-commit rebases may produce conflicts at multiple steps. Repeat 4a-4c for each.
+
+### 4d. After all conflicts are resolved, report
+
+- Every conflict that was resolved, with a one-line explanation of what you chose
+- Any files flagged for regeneration
+- Suggest running the project's build/test/format/analyze commands to verify correctness
+- If the branch was previously pushed, mention that a force-push (`git push --force-with-lease`) will be needed — but do NOT push automatically
+
+If changes were stashed in Step 1, restore them with `git stash pop`. If `stash pop` fails due to conflicts, inform the user and suggest `git stash show` to review the stashed changes.
+
+## Step 5: Recovery
+
+If the rebase enters a bad state or a conflict is too ambiguous to resolve safely:
 
-> Automatic rebase failed due to conflicts. To resolve manually, run: `git rebase origin/<base-branch>`
+```bash
+git rebase --abort
+```
+
+This restores the branch to its exact pre-rebase state — nothing is lost. Explain what went wrong so the user can decide how to proceed.
+
+If changes were stashed in Step 1, restore them with `git stash pop`.
 
 ## Gotchas
 
-- If the branch has already been pushed to a remote, rebasing rewrites history. The user will need to force-push (`git push --force-with-lease`) after a successful rebase — warn them.
-- `git stash pop` can itself cause conflicts if stashed changes overlap with rebased commits. If stash pop fails, inform the user and suggest `git stash show` to review the stashed changes.
 - Detached HEAD state (`HEAD` instead of a branch name) means the user is not on any branch. Inform them and stop — do not attempt to rebase.
 - If the base branch does not exist locally but does on the remote, `git fetch` in Step 2 will create the remote tracking ref. The rebase uses `origin/<base-branch>`, not the local branch.
 
-## Important
+## Rules
 
-- This skill only manages git state. Do not modify project files.
+- Never force-push unless the user explicitly asks.
+- Never squash, reorder, or edit commits during the rebase — just replay them.
+- Never proceed on a dirty working tree without the user's consent.
+- Prefer keeping both sides' changes when combining — err on the side of inclusion.
+- After resolving conflicts, always recommend running build, test, format, and analyze to verify.
+- This skill only manages git state. Do not modify project files outside of conflict resolution.
 - If changes were stashed, always restore them — even if the rebase fails.
