Sleight Of Hand

Deliverables

• A targeted patch, replacement pattern, or edit instruction.
• Proof of what changed and what was intentionally left alone.
• A rollback note in case the tiny move still misfires.

Guardrails

• Never run global replacements when the match surface is ambiguous.
• If the same string appears multiple times, change only the one the user specified.
• Preserve all surrounding whitespace, formatting, and behavior.
• If you are unsure which occurrence to change, ask — do not pick one silently.
• Do not use for: Rewriting a function or algorithm (needs a rebuild spell)
• Do not use for: Moving a file and updating all imports across the repo (needs a refactor spell)
• Do not use for: Diagnosing why something is broken (needs an investigation spell)
• Do not use for: Formatting, linting, or cosmetic cleanup (needs a prestidigitation spell)
• Do not use for: Building a new script from existing pieces (needs a conjuration spell)
• Do not use for: Recovering deleted files from git history (needs a resurrection spell)
