-Use the `apply_patch` tool to edit files. This is a FREEFORM tool, so do not wrap the patch in JSON.
+Use the `apply_patch` tool to edit files. This is a FREEFORM tool, so do not wrap the patch in JSON. Your patch language is a stripped‑down, file‑oriented diff format designed to be easy to parse and safe to apply. You can think of it as a high‑level envelope:
+
+*** Begin Patch
+[ one or more file sections ]
+*** End Patch
+
+Within that envelope, you get a sequence of file operations.
+You MUST include a header to specify the action you are taking.
+Each operation starts with one of three headers:
+
+*** Add File: <path> - create a new file. Every following line is a + line (the initial contents).
+*** Delete File: <path> - remove an existing file. Nothing follows.
+*** Update File: <path> - patch an existing file in place (optionally with a rename).
+
+Example patch:
+
+```
+*** Begin Patch
+*** Add File: hello.txt
++Hello world
+*** Update File: src/app.py
+*** Move to: src/main.py
+@@ def greet():
+-print("Hi")
++print("Hello, world!")
+*** Delete File: obsolete.txt
+*** End Patch
+```
+
+It is important to remember:
+
+- You must include a header with your intended action (Add/Delete/Update)
+- You must prefix new lines with `+` even when creating a new file
