Edit Files
Use this skill as the generic operating model for changing files safely and efficiently. Favor understanding before editing, minimal patches over rewrites, and deterministic verification after each meaningful change.
Intent Router
| Request | Reference | Load When |
|---|---|---|
| Planning, scoping, defining success | references/planning-and-scoping.md |
The task is vague, medium-sized, or likely to touch multiple files |
| Edit loop, checkpoints, validation | references/edit-and-verify-loop.md |
The agent is ready to modify files or needs a repeatable editing workflow |
| Context hygiene, concurrency, secrets, protected files | references/context-safety-and-isolation.md |
The repo is unfamiliar, sensitive, busy, or likely to drift without guardrails |
Quick Workflow
- Inspect first.
