Quick brief
Use Mergiraf when an agent needs to resolve Git merge conflicts with syntax-aware file understanding and then review what was auto-mediated before a human steps in. Invoke this instead of plain Git conflict handling when the job is conflict resolution and conflict reduction across supported languages, not ordinary version-control operations. The scope boundary is specific and skill-shaped: Mergiraf is a structured merge-conflict mediation workflow, not a generic Git client, hosting platform, or broad developer-tools listing.
