Body

I’m looking for one Python developer or small engineering team to participate in a short external evaluation of PatchForge.

PatchForge is a safety-first tool for proposing, validating, and previewing small code changes. The goal is not to modify anyone’s repository automatically. The evaluation will run on an isolated copy of a small, non-sensitive Python project.

What the participant would do:

• Choose a small documentation or low-risk maintenance task.
• Explain the expected outcome.
• Observe the workflow: doctor → scan → plan → preview.
• Give honest feedback on setup, diagnostics, usefulness, and trust.
• No apply step will be executed.

Requirements:

• A small Python repository you own or are authorized to share for evaluation.
• No secrets, customer data, proprietary code, or production credentials.
• Approximately 30–45 minutes.
• Willingness to report problems honestly, including if the tool is not useful.

The evaluation will be documented only with sanitized notes. Repository contents and personal information will not be published.

This is an exploratory product validation, not a sales demo. If you are interested, please comment or send me a DM with:

1. Your Python project type and approximate size.
2. A safe documentation or maintenance task.
3. Whether you can participate in the next two weeks.

I can provide more details privately before you decide.
