This Skill helps you reliably capture and re-apply intentional fork customizations so features survive upstream upgrades without brittle diff/merge replay.
Use the micropatch skill when you need to extract a fork’s meaningful changes into a reusable MicroPatch spec and later re-apply that same feature contract to a newer upstream release.

Semantic patching captures fork customizations as behavior-level MicroPatch specifications, re-applying the intended feature contract onto newer upstream codebases instead of replaying brittle diffs.
Diff and merge replay breaks because it mechanically restores old lines without adapting to upstream reality. Semantic patching instead uses a verification-first Definition of Done focusing on preserving externally observable behavior.
You document fork customizations by writing a folderized MicroPatch with a micropatch.md spec, optional advisory hints.diff, and a clear Definition of Done enabling verification of intentional differences across releases.
Semantic patching for fork maintenance is the process of extracting intentional codebase differences into reusable behavior-level contracts, ensuring features are idempotently re-implemented on newer upstream releases without mechanical overlap.
Semantic patches require adapting to upstream reality and avoiding redundant overlap. Hints.diff is advisory only, meaning success depends on meeting externally observable behavior checks defined in the verification criteria, not mechanical line restoration.
