code-edit

name: code-edit description: > Apply a natural language edit instruction to a file in a repository. Handles frontend, backend, config, and template files.

Steps

1. Parse instruction → identify: what changes, which layer (UI/API/config)
2. Use memory context (runtime, framework, repo path) to locate file
3. Read file via file_read tool
4. Generate minimal edit
5. Output unified diff
6. On user confirmation → write via file_write tool

Patterns

Styling

• CSS files: find property, replace value
• Tailwind: find className, update utility class
• Inline styles in JSX/HTML: find style attribute, update

Layout / Components

• Logo: find <header> or Navbar, insert <img> or component import
• Nav links: find <nav> or <ul>, insert <li><a>

Backend

• Flask route: find last @app.route, insert new route after
• Express route: find router.get/post block, insert new one
• Go handler: find http.HandleFunc block, insert new one

Config

• package.json scripts: find "scripts" key, add/update entry
• requirements.txt: append new package

Guardrails

• Never touch .env files
• Never delete functions/classes unless explicitly told
• If target is ambiguous, list candidates and ask
