Patch Applier

When to Use

• You have a focused code change that should be applied and reviewed as a single patch.

Rules

• Keep patches atomic and single-purpose.
• Show a preview (paths + short hunk summary) before applying.
• After applying, run formatting, linters, and targeted tests as appropriate.

Workflow

1. Locate edit points via source-search or file-reader.
2. Draft patch and show a preview for approval.
3. Apply patch and run go fmt ./... / golangci-lint run ./... / targeted go test.
4. Report modified files and verification results.

Output

• Patch summary: 1-3 bullets.
• Files changed: list with path:line.
• Verification: commands and results.
