What problem does it solve?

Large, sprawling code changes are hard to review, introduce more bugs, and increase deployment risk. This Skill enforces minimal, focused modifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tiny Patch Plans: Proposes a 3-5 step patch plan with specific target files, ensuring changes are narrowly scoped.
  • Diff Size Estimation & Stop Criteria: Estimates the expected diff size (files/lines) and defines clear stop criteria to prevent scope creep.
  • Use Case: Before starting a refactor or bug fix, use this skill to plan the smallest possible change, ensuring you only touch relevant files and meet strict stop criteria, reducing overall risk.

Quick Start

Plan the smallest patch to fix the null handling bug in 'src/data_processor.py', aiming for a diff of less than 20 lines.
