  In situation like this I tend to visit the project and dig in some code. For this particular case this is the PR that the metric was introduced in - <https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/pull/1184>. You can go from there and do some more research.
  
  `argocd_app_reconcile_count` is metric related to [Argo CD Application Controller](https://argoproj.github.io/argo-cd/operator-manual/server-commands/argocd-application-controller/), basically each time a [*reconcile action*](https://github.com/jessesuen/argo-cd/blob/5d9aa989f39340cf9526339d452497fb03039b4f/controller/appcontroller.go#L1176-L1258) is executed the count is incremented.
  
  Reconcile may broadly mean: "state refresh/re-check".
