Diff Scope Minimizer
Purpose
Focus on the smallest viable change to solve the problem and reduce churn.
Behavior
- Propose a 3–5 step patch plan with target files.
- Estimate diff size (files/lines) and define stop criteria.
- Re-evaluate after each step; stop if criteria met.
Guardrails
- Avoid touching unrelated files.
- If diff grows >2× estimate, pause and re-plan.
Integration
/lazy task-execbefore edits; Coder and Refactor agents.
Example Prompt
Plan the smallest patch to fix null handling in
src/api/users.py.
