repatch

Reusable HTML/CSS/DOM patch utilities extracted from Nexu Cinema: marked-element context, scope-restricted CSS, spatial deletes, LLM UI patch prompts, and local function DOM patches.

Also includes the original RepatchService for scope-based LLM fragment suggestions.

Install

pip install -e .
# Nexu: repatch @ file:///path/to/repatch in pyproject.toml

Public API (repatch)

Multi-Language Client SDKs

The repatch repository provides official client-side and process SDKs under the sdks/ directory to simplify surgical real-time UI mutations across different languages and platforms:

1. JavaScript SDK (sdks/js/repatch-sdk.js)

A client-side library to be included in browsers. It connects to the Repatch WebSocket/SSE stream and executes surgical updates:

• ADD <selector> <html_content>: Appends child element.
• REPLACE <selector> <html_content>: Replaces content.
• STYLE <selector> { css }: Scopes CSS to element.
• REMOVE <selector>: Deletes element.

2. Python Client SDK (sdks/python/repatch_sdk.py)

A thread-safe client that allows other python services, test harnesses, or CLI agents to subscribe or broadcast patches:

from repatch_sdk import RepatchClient

client = RepatchClient("ws://localhost:8083/repatch")

@client.on_patch
def handle_patch(data):
    print("Received patch DSL:", data["dsl"])

client.start()
client.send_patch("STYLE #btn-eq { background: red; }")

Example: marked context + UI patch prompt

from repatch import build_marked_element_context
from repatch.ui_patch import build_ui_patch_prompt

ctx = build_marked_element_context(html, keep_ids=["7"], delete_ids=["tan"], focus_scope="colors", project_kind="calculator")
prompt = build_ui_patch_prompt(html, focus_scope="colors", project_kind="calculator", option_variants=variants, context_fragment=ctx)

Example: file-level option previews

from repatch import enforce_deletes_on_option_previews, sync_option_previews_from_workspace

sync_option_previews_from_workspace(
    "capsule/cinema",
    stage=0,
    delete_ids=["old-cta"],
    finalize_html=my_finalize_html,
)

enforce_deletes_on_option_previews(
    "capsule/cinema",
    ["old-cta"],
    finalize_html=my_finalize_html,
)

Original RepatchService (v0)

from repatch import RepatchService

service = RepatchService(model="gpt-4o-mini")

fragment = """
<section>
