Full skill instructions

Minion Apply

Apply patches generated by minions. Always preview and dry-run before applying.

Workflow

  1. Preview - See what the patch contains
  2. Dry-run - Test without making changes
  3. Apply - Make the changes
  4. Verify - Run tests

Usage

Step 1: List available patches

ls -la sessions/​*.patch

Step 2: Preview a patch

cat sessions/​20250112-patch.patch

Or for colored diff:

cat sessions/​20250112-patch.patch | diff-so-fancy 2>/​dev/​null || cat sessions/​20250112-patch.patch

Step 3: Dry-run (test without applying)

patch -p1 --dry-run < sessions/​20250112-patch.patch

If successful, shows what would change. If errors, shows conflicts.

Step 4: Apply the patch

patch -p1 < sessions/​20250112-patch.patch

Step 5: Verify changes

# Check git diff
git diff

# Run tests
source .venv/​bin/​activate && pytest

Apply multiple patches

# Apply all patches in order
for p in sessions/​*.patch; do
  echo "Applying $p..."
  patch -p1 < "$p"
done

Handling conflicts

If dry-run shows conflicts:

Hunk #1 FAILED at 42.

Options:

  1. Regenerate patch - Run minion-patch again with more context
  2. Manual edit - Edit the .patch file to fix offsets
  3. Force with fuzz - patch -p1 --fuzz=3 < file.patch (risky)

Reverting a patch

patch -p1 -R < sessions/​20250112-patch.patch

Clean up after applying

# Remove applied patches
rm sessions/​*.patch

# Or archive them
mkdir -p sessions/​applied
mv sessions/​*.patch sessions/​applied/

Safety tips

  • Always dry-run first - Catches most issues
  • Review every patch - Minions make mistakes
  • Commit before applying - Easy to revert
  • Run tests after - Verify nothing broke
  • One patch at a time - Easier to debug
