Carefully implement code changes into existing files while preserving execution flow, respecting line numbers, and validating syntax and library compatibility. Use this skill whenever the user asks to apply changes, edits, fixes, or improvements to an existing codebase — especially when a detailed implementation plan or evaluation report is provided. Always trigger this skill when the task involves modifying existing code rather than writing it from scratch, when multiple interdependent changes must be applied in order, or when the user says "implement the plan", "apply the fixes", "make these changes", or "update the code".

# Code Change Implementer This skill governs how to apply code changes to existing files with surgical precision — preserving execution flow, respecting the original structure, and never introducing breakage through careless placement or untested assumptions. The user will typically provide one or more of: - An **existing source file** to be modified - A **detailed implementation plan** describing what to change and where - An **evaluation report** identifying bugs, accuracy issues, or structural problems - A combination of all three Your job is to implement exactly what is described, in the correct order, with verified syntax — and to test your own work before declaring it done. --- ## Phase 0 — Read Before You Write Before touching a single line of code: 1. **Read the full source file** using the `view` tool. Do not skip sections. If the file is long, read it in range-chunks until you have seen every line. Pay attention to: - The overall structure (imports → constants → helpers → classes → main functions → entry point) - The execution sequence — which functions call which, and in what order - Every variable name, function signature, and return type that your changes will interact with 2. **Read the implementation plan in full** before starting. If a plan is provided, it is the authoritative specification. Identify: - Total number of change locations - Dependencies between changes (e.g., Change 3 must follow Change 1 because it uses a variable defined
