# Conservative Code Edits

[![skills.sh](https://skills.sh/b/addxing/conservative-code-edits)](https://skills.sh/addxing/conservative-code-edits)

An agent skill for keeping code changes small, scoped, and project-safe. Works with any AI coding tool that supports skills.

## Install

```bash
npx skills add addxing/conservative-code-edits
```

### DeepSeek Harness

This repo follows the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) Skill format. Clone it into a skills directory and it will be auto-discovered:

```bash
# User-level install (available in all projects)
git clone https://github.com/addxing/conservative-code-edits ~/.dsh/skills/conservative-code-edits

# Project-level install (current project only)
git clone https://github.com/addxing/conservative-code-edits .dsh/skills/conservative-code-edits
```

DSH hot-reloads the skills directory after cloning; the skill becomes available in new sessions.

Or install it as an official bundle plugin in one line (requires pnpm; restart the web app afterwards):

```bash
dsh plugin --profile web add "github:addxing/conservative-code-edits#main"
```


## Usage

After installing the skill, ask your AI coding tool to use it when changing code in an existing project:

```text
Use $conservative-code-edits to make this UI change.
```

You can also rely on automatic triggering when the task involves editing project code, resources, configuration, tests, or documentation.

## What It Does

This skill guides an agent to:

- make the smallest necessary code change
- preserve existing architecture and implementation style
- avoid unrelated refactors and formatting churn
- ask before editing shared foundation code
- use dynamic color resources when a project supports dark mode
