What problem does it solve?

The surgical-edit skill solves the need for implementing code changes without a formal plan, providing a direct and efficient way to edit, tweak, add, remove, rename, or adjust behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct Implementation: Perform code changes directly without a formal plan.
  • Behavior Adjustment: Adjust behavior and artifacts as requested.
  • Minimal Edit: Make the smallest complete edit that matches existing naming, layering, error handling, tests, and comment density.
  • Root Cause Fixing: Prefer fixing the root cause over patching the nearest symptom.
  • Proof Policy: Validate through a proof policy to ensure changes are correctly implemented.

Quick Start

Request a code change with the surgical-edit skill, specifying the exact behavior change needed.
