What problem does it solve?

This skill enables the precise generation of patch-compatible unified diffs (diff -u), ensuring proper headers, context, and formatting to keep patches portable and applyable with standard tools.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Produce unified diffs with mandatory a/ and b/ prefixes
  • Enforce 3-line context per hunk
  • Handle new/deleted files with /dev/null representations
  • Validate headers, whitespace, and line counts for patch compatibility

Quick Start

Generate a patch by producing a unified diff (diff -u) with proper a/ and b/ prefixes, three-context hunks, and correct header counts, then validate it by applying with patch -p1.
