gsd-reapply-patches SKILL.md skillA
gsd-reapply-patches from coco-research/coco is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add coco-research/coco/gsd-reapply-patches@git:20260914.e75f220Pins git:20260914.e75f220 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use after a GSD update, when local modifications were backed up to gsd-local-patches/ and must be merged back. Three-way compares the pristine baseline, the backup, and the new install, flagging conflicts instead of skipping files.
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
<purpose>
After a GSD update wipes and reinstalls files, this command merges user's previously saved local modifications back into the new version. Uses three-way comparison (pristine baseline, user-modified backup, newly installed version) to reliably distinguish user customizations from version drift.
**Critical invariant:** Every file in `gsd-local-patches/` was backed up because the installer's hash comparison detected it was modified. The workflow must NEVER conclude "no custom content" for any backed-up file — that is a logical contradiction. When in doubt, classify as CONFLICT requiring user review, not SKIP.
</purpose>
<process>
## Step 1: Detect backed-up patches
Check for local patches directory:
```bash
expand_home() {
case "$1" in
"~/"*) printf '%s/%s\n' "$HOME" "${1#~/}" ;;
*) printf '%s\n' "$1" ;;
esac
}
PATCHES_DIR=""
# Env overrides first — covers custom config directories used with --config-dir
if [ -n "$KILO_CONFIG_DIR" ]; then
candidate="$(expand_home "$KILO_CONFIG_DIR")/gsd-local-patches"
if [ -d "$candidate" ]; then
PATCHES_DIR="$candidate"
fi
elif [ -n "$KILO_CONFIG" ]; then
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add coco-research/coco/gsd-reapply-patches@sha256:f9fc4a1ad8f42faeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.e75f220, 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.
