My custom prompt instructs GPT to output changes to code as a diff/git-patch. I don’t use agents because it makes it hard to see what’s happening and I don’t trust them yet.

I’ve tried this approach when working in chat interfaces (as opposed to IDEs), but I often find it tricky to review diffs without the full context of the codebase.

That said, your comment made me realize I could be using “git apply”more effectively to review LLM-generated changes directly in my repo. It’s actually a neat workflow!
