patch-first-debugging
patch-first-debugging is an Agent behaviour & coding discipline skill for AI agents, published by vana-com in the data-connect repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates patch-first-debugging D (64/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Debug and repair code using minimal, reviewable patches instead of full-file rewrites. Use this whenever the user is fixing a bug, iterating on failing tests, asks for a surgical code change, wants a minimal diff, or is in a tight debug loop where output size and token cost matter. Prefer this even if the user does not explicitly say "patch."
