Use when editing a long file (100+ lines of changes) or when an Edit call freezes, times out, or silently fails - requires splitting large edits into multiple smaller sequential Edit calls

Split large edits into small sequential batches to avoid freezing.
Split large edits into small sequential batches to avoid freezing.
The Edit tool can freeze or timeout when applying large changes to a long file in a single call. This is a known platform bug.
Symptoms: Edit call hangs, connection reset, repeated silent failures, or the tool never returns.
Never edit more than ~50-100 lines in a single Edit call. Each call should stay under ~1000 tokens.
When you need to make large changes to a file:
| Scenario | Approach |
|---|---|
| Change < 50 lines | Single Edit, no splitting needed |
| Change 50-100 lines | Single Edit is OK, split if it fails |
| Change 100-300 lines | Split into 2-4 Edit calls |
| Change 300+ lines | Split into many calls, ~50-100 lines each |
| Edit freezes | Retry with a smaller chunk |
