Generates git patch files from codebase modifications for local application. Use when user mentions patch, diff, export changes, bring changes back, apply locally, or after editing uploaded codebases.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Generating Patches Generate portable git patch files from codebase modifications, enabling users to apply Claude's edits to their local repositories. ## When to Use Activate after modifying files in an uploaded codebase when the user needs to transfer changes back to their local environment. Typical workflow: user uploads zip → Claude edits files → this skill exports changes as a patch. ## Prerequisites Verify git is available and the working directory is a git repository (or can be initialized as one): ```bash git status 2>/dev/null || git init ``` If working with an uploaded codebase that lacks git history, initialize and create a baseline commit before making edits: ```bash git init git add -A git commit -m "Baseline: original uploaded state" ``` ## Generating the Patch After completing edits, generate a unified diff: ```bash # For uncommitted changes (working tree modifications) git diff > /mnt/user-data/outputs/changes.patch # If changes are staged but not committed git diff --cached > /mnt/user-data/outputs/changes.patch # For both staged and unstaged git diff HEAD > /mnt/user-data/outputs/changes.patch ``` …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/generating-patches@sha256:eacbb2757339b7f5The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
