A recent incident highlighted a critical flaw in Git's rebase functionality when interacting with AI subagents. When a Claude Code subagent modified a tracked file while a Git rebase conflict was in progress, the subsequent `git rebase --skip` command not only discarded the ongoing rebase but also permanently deleted the subagent's uncommitted work. This occurred because the appended data was never added to Git's object database, rendering it unrecoverable. The issue was reproducible with standard Git commands and a simple script, demonstrating that the problem lies in the interaction between concurrent file modifications and Git's `--skip` behavior, rather than any specific AI capability.
