+
+## Description
+
+We want to close the loop on codebase remediation by letting the CLI suggest and commit code fixes automatically.
+
+## Goal
+
+Implement a command (or interactive REPL slash command) that takes an AI-generated code patch, applies it to the local codebase, and creates a git branch or commit.
+
+## Requirements
+
+1. Retrieve the code remediation suggested by the LLM.
+2. Write the patch safely to the target file.
+3. Optionally run a validation check (e.g. `pytest` or compiler checks) to verify the patch doesn't break tests.
+4. Automatically create a local feature branch and git commit with the fix.
