What it does

Patch Edit is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. Apply one rewrite-plan step at a time as small reviewable file edits, never rewriting whole files when a localised change suffices.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `open-design.json`).

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: 🎨 Best DeepSeek Harness Design Plugin. The open-source Claude Design alternative. 🖥️ Local-first desktop app. 🖼️ Your coding agent becomes the design engine: prototypes… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

Frontend & Design work in your project

Example prompts

“/patch-edit”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 53231d4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are jsonc).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Patch Edit loads about 470 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 171 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~470

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

od.scenario: code-migration
od.mode: edit

Patch edit

Spec §20.3 / §21.3.2: code-migration / tune-collab cannot ship a trustworthy diff when the agent rewrites whole files in one pass — the reviewer can't audit the change. This atom enforces "one step per turn, smallest possible localised edit".

Inputs

plan/steps.json from rewrite-plan.
The current value of iterations (the daemon's per-stage counter).
code/index.json for the file's known imports + neighbours.

Output

The atom mutates files inside the project cwd via the file-edit tool. After every iteration, it writes a per-step receipt:

text

project-cwd/
└── plan/
    ├── steps.json (status updated: 'pending' → 'completed' | 'skipped')
    └── receipts/
        └── step-<id>.json    # { files: ['...'], diffSummary, rationale, completedAt }

Convergence

The atom completes when every step in plan/steps.json is in a terminal state (completed / skipped) OR iterations >= OD_MAX_DEVLOOP_ITERATIONS. Use:

jsonc

{
  "id": "patch-edit-loop",
  "atoms": ["patch-edit"],
  "repeat": true,
  "until": "plan.steps.terminal === plan.steps.total || iterations >= 8"
}

Anti-patterns the prompt fragment forbids

Rewriting an entire file when the rewrite-plan step is localised.
Touching a file outside the step's files[].
Touching a shell-tier file when the step's risk is not 'high' or the user hasn't confirmed.
Skipping a step without a receipt + a rationale string.

Status

Implemented by the daemon runner in apps/daemon/src/plugins/atoms/patch-edit.ts. It validates step ownership and risk, applies unified diffs with atomic writes, and records receipts and progress.

Files
