description: "Synchronize canvas state across team sessions via git. Ensures all team members see the same product knowledge."

  instruction_budget: "8"
  framework_dependency: "mycelium"
  framework_dependency_note: "This skill is designed to run within the Mycelium framework (https://github.com/haabe/mycelium). Standalone use will skip the canvas state, theory gates, and harness behavior the skill assumes. Install: /plugin install mycelium@haabe-mycelium."

Canvas Sync

When to Use

• Starting a new session (pull latest canvas)
• Ending a session (commit canvas changes)
• After team discussion that changes product direction
• When canvas conflicts arise from parallel work

Workflow

Pull Latest

git pull origin main

Then run `/mycelium:diamond-assess` to see what changed.

Commit Changes

git add .claude/canvas/ .claude/harness/decision-log.md .claude/memory/
git commit -m "canvas: [brief description of what changed and why]"

Conflict Resolution

• Different canvas files: auto-merges (no conflict)
• Same file, different sections: usually auto-merges
• Same field conflicting: the person with more evidence wins — a *manual* resolution heuristic for the team, not an automated merge. No tooling evaluates evidence weight; `Gated by:` a `/canvas-merge` procedure (read both versions, compare provenance depth on overlapping entries, recommend) — not yet built.
• When uncertain: discuss as team, log decision

GitOps Principle

The canvas system IS GitOps for product knowledge — git is the single source of truth, changes are declarative (YAML), and updates flow through version control with review. For infrastructure GitOps (ArgoCD, Flux), see JiT tooling detection for Kubernetes/infrastructure-as-code projects.
