What is patch context?

Patch context is structured feedback designed for coding agents. It combines a reviewer’s comment with the exact UI element, URL, viewport, browser, screenshot, console errors, and any selected text: everything an agent needs to reproduce and fix a problem on the first try, instead of guessing what a prose description meant.

Why it matters

When an AI agent edits a UI, a vague note like "move this up" carries no anchor, no current state, and no constraints, so the agent guesses, and a wrong guess costs a full regeneration. Patch context removes the guessing by handing the agent the same grounding a human developer would get from opening DevTools on the live page.

How Patchrooms uses it

Every Patchrooms report is patch context by construction. A reviewer clicks an element on a live preview; the widget captures the selector, a screenshot, the URL, viewport, browser, and console errors automatically. "Copy agent feedback" exports it as Markdown to paste into your agent, or an MCP-connected agent reads it directly with list_reports and get_report.
