name

memtrace-fleet-record-episode

description

Record an edit you just made in a fleet and get its conflict class (A/B/C) against agents on your branch. Use when you have just finished an edit, when the user says 'I just changed X', or when completing a refactor step while other agents share your repo+branch. Returns conflict_class + replan_hint; a Class C returns an escalation_id and mediation_request that starts the decision loop. Do not finish a coordinated edit without recording it.

Overview

fleet_record_episode is step 3 of the fleet protocol: record the edit you just made and learn whether it collided with another agent on your branch.

Call it

fleet_record_episode({
  repo_id: "myrepo",
  branch:  "session/auth-revamp",
  agent_id:"agent-a",
  touched: ["auth::verify_token"],
  intent:  {"refactor": {"pattern": "change_signature"}}
})

Full parameter spec for every Memtrace tool: references/mcp-parameters.md (bundled at the memtrace-skills plugin root).

The result: conflict_class

• A → proceed. Additive, order-independent.
• B → re-read, then proceed. Non-destructive overlap; re-read the shared symbols so you build on current state.
• C → a decision is needed. A destructive change overlaps another agent's work. The response includes:
  • escalation_id — the decision's id.
  • mediation_request — the judging task (every agent's assignment + the contested symbols). If you're asked to judge, call fleet_submit_verdict.
  • next_action — poll fleet_get_escalation({escalation_id, agent_id}) until your_directive ≠ wait, then proceed / defer / review.

Class is computed only against agents on your branch. Agents on other branches never make your edit a Class C.

After recording

• Class A/B → continue.
• Class C → enter the decision loop (see memtrace-fleet-first). Don't keep editing the contested symbols until your directive is proceed.
• Every recorded episode is logged and persists as the fleet's reviewable audit trail. Review history with fleet_query_episodes({repo_id, node?, conflict_class?}).

Output

{
  "conflict_class": "C",        // "A" | "B" | "C"
  "replan_hint": "re-read auth::verify_token before continuing",
  // Class C only — absent for A/B:
  "escalation_id": "esc-01J9...",
  "mediation_request": { /* each agent's assignment + contested symbols */ },
  "next_action": "poll fleet_get_escalation until your_directive != wait"
}
