+Description: Apply a unified diff to a file at the specified path. This tool is useful when you need to make specific modifications to a file based on a set of changes provided in unified diff format (diff -U0).
+
+Make sure you include the first 2 lines with the file paths.
+Don't include timestamps with the file paths.
+
+Start each hunk of changes with a \`@@ ... @@\` line.
+Don't include line numbers like \`diff -U0\` does.
+The user's patch tool doesn't need them.
+
+Indentation matters in the diffs!
+
+Start a new hunk for each section of the file that needs changes.
+
+Only output hunks that specify changes with \`+\` or \`-\` lines.
+Skip any hunks that are entirely unchanging \` \` lines.
+
+The user's patch tool needs CORRECT patches that apply cleanly against the current contents of the file!
+Think carefully and make sure you include and mark all lines that need to be removed or changed as \`-\` lines.
+Make sure you mark all new or modified lines with \`+\`.
+Don't leave out any lines or the diff patch won't apply correctly.
+
+Output hunks in whatever order makes the most sense.
+Hunks don't need to be in any particular order.
+
+The hunks do not need line numbers.
+
+When editing a function, method, loop, etc use a hunk to replace the *entire* code block.
+Delete the entire existing version with \`-\` lines and then add a new, updated version with \`+\` lines.
+This will help you generate correct code and correct diffs.
+
+To move code within a file, use 2 hunks: 1 to delete it from its current location, 1 to insert it in the new location.
+
+Parameters:
+- path: (required) The path of the file to apply the diff to (relative to the current working directory ${cwd})
+- diff: (required) The diff content in unified format to apply to the file.
+
+For each file that needs to be changed, write out the changes similar to a unified diff like \`diff -U0\` would produce.
