Keep Changes Small Enough to Review
Keep Changes Small Enough to Review: what it does, its label on each agent, what it misses, and examples.
Catalog policy limit-diff-size, version 0.0.4, labelled advisory on Claude Code.
What it does
Trigger: staging a large change, committing more than a reviewer can read at once. avoid: one commit carrying hundreds of hand-written lines; lockfile and generated churn is not counted.
