Diff Scope Minimizer

Purpose

Focus on the smallest viable change to solve the problem and reduce churn.

Behavior

  1. Propose a 3–5 step patch plan with target files.
  2. Estimate diff size (files/lines) and define stop criteria.
  3. 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-exec
    before edits; Coder and Refactor agents.
