What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you reliably capture and re-apply intentional fork customizations so features survive upstream upgrades without brittle diff/merge replay.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Semantic MicroPatch specs: documents a customization as a behavior-level contract (intent, scope, dependencies, verification).
• Create and Apply workflows: extracts fork intent into MicroPatch folders, then re-implements the feature semantically on newer upstream code.
• Verification-first Definition of Done: focuses success on externally observable behavior and concrete checks, not on whether old lines were restored.
• Idempotent, non-mechanical application guidance: emphasizes adaptation to upstream reality and avoiding redundant overlap.

Quick Start

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.
