# Prepare the Repo Digest delta (apply-at-merge)
You just implemented and evidenced a ticket. You already know exactly what changed —
so you are the cheapest place to write down how the **Repo Digest** should move and
which **feature** this ticket ships. This skill records that as a single, structured
**evidence row**. It is INERT: nothing is applied now. The factory's merge step reads
this row **post-review** and applies it deterministically (no new agent call). If the
ticket is rejected, it never merges, so this prepared delta never pollutes the digest.
This is the **prepare** half of prepare-at-delivery / apply-at-merge. Recording the
delta here — instead of running a fresh `claude -p` on every merge — is the whole cost
win. Keep it cheap: you are summarising a diff you already have, not re-deriving it.
## Steps
1. **Decide what the digest should say now.** For each Repo Digest section your change
makes stale (architecture, key flows, conventions, surface area, gotchas, …), write
the SHORT updated prose for that section — only sections you actually changed. If the
change is small and touches no section's narrative, you may record zero sections (the
merge will still stamp freshness).
2. **Name the feature this ticket ships.** One feature note: its `name`, a one-line
`summary`, and — if you know it — the `scopeNode` and `provenance` (e.g. the epic
ref). This is what the merge advances/adds to `shipped`.
3. **Record ONE evidence row** via the Dispatch MC
