Edit — Guided State Editor with Undo

When to use

User wants to correct a value, confirm an estimated field, set an attestation date, or undo a recent change. Triggered explicitly via slash command:

• /coinskills:edit account <id>
• /coinskills:edit goal <id>
• /coinskills:edit plan <goal-id>
• /coinskills:edit profile
• /coinskills:edit recurring <id>
• /coinskills:edit income <id>
• /coinskills:edit holding <ticker>
• /coinskills:edit attestation <goal-id> "<prereq-label>"
• /coinskills:edit undo (last change) or /coinskills:edit undo <event-id>

Step 1: Setup

Apply skills/_shared/path-guard.md. Read profile.md frontmatter; if schema_version != 2, abort: "v0.2 features require migration. Run /coinskills:migrate first."

Step 2: Dispatch by subcommand

Parse the user's argument string. Dispatch:

Subcommand	File	Schema
account <id>	accounts.json (single entry by id)	account.schema.json
goal <id>	goals/<id>.md (frontmatter)	goal.schema.json
plan <goal-id>	active plan in plans/ matching goal-id	plan.schema.json
profile	profile.md (frontmatter)	profile.schema.json
recurring <id>	entry in modules/personal/recurring.json	recurring.schema.json
income <id>	entry in modules/personal/income.json	income.schema.json
holding <ticker>	entry in modules/investments/holdings.json	holding.schema.json
attestation <goal-id> <label>	nested prereq inside goals/<goal-id>.md frontmatter	goal.schema.json
undo	last entry in changes.jsonl	change-event.schema.json
undo <event-id>	specific entry	change-event.schema.json

If the target doesn't exist (account id, goal id, ticker not found), respond: " not found. Did you mean: <closest 3 matches>?" then exit.

Step 3: Guided form (for non-undo subcommands)

1. Print the current entry as a numbered table:

   Editing account 'card-unicredit-bulbank':
     1. id              card-unicredit-bulbank   (immutable)
     2. type            credit_card
     3. name            UniCredit Bulbank
     4. currency        EUR
     5. limit           10000
     6. balance         -2000
     7. apr             0.199                    ⚠ estimated
     8. billing_cycle_day  15                    ⚠ estimated
     9. rewards         (none)
    10. module          personal
   

2. Prompt: "Pick a field number to edit, type 'confirm ' to clear the ⚠ estimated flag without changing the value, or type 'cancel' to exit."

3. On field selection:

   • If field is in _estimated, ask explicitly: "This field is currently flagged as estimated. Are you (a) confirming the existing value as accurate, or (b) entering a corrected value?" Two paths:
     • (a) → no value change. Proceed with op: confirm. Remove field from _estimated array.
     • (b) → prompt for new value. Proceed with op: update. Remove field from _estimated array.
   • If field is NOT in _estimated, prompt for new value. Proceed with op: update.

4. Validate the proposed change:

   • Run schema validation per skills/_shared/mutation-pipeline.md step 2.
   • Show a diff:

     - apr: 0.199  (estimated)
     + apr: 0.185  (confirmed)
     

   • Ask: "Apply this change? (yes / no)"

5. On yes → run mutation pipeline steps 3-5 (append to changes.jsonl, atomic write, mark snapshot stale). Print:

   ✅ Applied. Event id: chg_2026-04-28T11:02:14Z_b7c
   To undo: /coinskills:edit undo chg_2026-04-28T11:02:14Z_b7c
   

6. On no → exit without writing anything.

Step 4: attestation subcommand

/coinskills:edit attestation <goal-id> "<prereq-label>" is a fast-path that:

1. Loads goals/<goal-id>.md frontmatter.
2. Finds the prereq entry where type == "attestation" AND label == "<prereq-label>" (case-insensitive). If not found, list available attestation labels and exit.
3. Prompts: "Confirm '' as true today ()?"
4. On yes → set confirmed_at: <today>. Run mutation pipeline. op: confirm.
5. On no → exit.

Step 5: undo subcommand

/coinskills:edit undo

1. Read last line of changes.jsonl.
2. If op == "undo" already → ask the user: "Last change was already an undo. Undo the undo? (yes / no)". On yes, treat its reverses field as the event to redo. On no, exit.
3. Otherwise, treat last change as the target.

/coinskills:edit undo <event-id>

1. Find the event with matching id in changes.jsonl.

2. Conflict detection: scan all later events for any whose target overlaps the original event's target (same file + same JSON path or a prefix match). If any exist, print:

   ⚠ This change has been overwritten by later edits. Reverting it would also revert:
     - chg_<id> on <target> (<op>, <timestamp>)
   Proceed anyway? (yes / no / cancel)
   

   On yes → continue. On no/cancel → exit.

Apply the reversal

1. Construct the reverse mutation: write before back as the new state.

2. Validate against the schema (the before state must still be valid in v0.2 — if not, error: "Cannot undo: pre-change state is invalid under current schema.").

3. Append a new event:

   {"id":"chg_<now>_<hex>","timestamp":"<now>","skill":"edit","op":"undo","target":"<original target>","before":<original after>,"after":<original before>,"validation":"ok","reverses":"<original event id>"}
   

4. Atomic-write the reverted state. Mark snapshot stale.

5. Print:

   ✅ Reverted chg_<original id>. Event id: chg_<new id>
   To redo: /coinskills:edit undo chg_<new id>
   

Step 6: Commit

After any successful edit/confirm/undo, ask: "Commit this change to git? (yes / no — defaults to no)". On yes:

git -C <workspace> add changes.jsonl <touched-file> snapshots/latest.json
git -C <workspace> commit -m "edit: <op> <target>"

Self-check

• Path guard ran before any write.
• Schema validation ran before any write.
• changes.jsonl line is exactly one valid JSON object matching change-event.schema.json.
• snapshots/latest.json stale: true after the write.
• No file written outside <workspace>.
