# Patch Generate & Apply Skill

Generates and applies unified diff patches for code fixes.

## When to Use

- You need to generate a patch file from code changes
- You need to apply a .diff/.patch file to a repository
- Automating code fixes via the diff/patch workflow

## Workflow

1. **Generate diff** using `generate_unified_diff()` with a/b prefixes
2. **Handle EOF** using `handle_no_newline_at_eof()` for POSIX compliance
