+# Result[T] Refactoring Recipe
+
+**Overview**  
+Refactors all error handling in the target package to use the new Result[T] pattern.
+
+## Execution Steps
+
+### Step 1: Discover files
+**Objective:** Find every file that needs changing.  
+**Instructions:** Recursively scan `{{.package_path}}` for `.go` files containing `if err != nil`.  
+**Expected output:** A clean numbered list of full file paths (one per line).
+
+### Step 2: Refactor each file
+**Objective:** Generate the updated code.  
+**Instructions:** For each file from Step 1:
+- Read the full original content.
+- Refactor it to use `Result[T]` instead of naked errors (follow existing style, preserve comments).
+- Return *ONLY* the complete new file inside a ```go code block (no explanations).  
+**Expected output:** One ```go block per file, clearly labelled with the filename.
+
+### Step 3: Apply or patch
+**Objective:** Safely write changes or create reviewable output.  
+**Instructions:**
+- If `dry_run` is true → create a unified diff patch file for review.
+- If false → write the new files (backup originals as `.bak`).  
+  **Expected output:** Confirmation of what was written + full path to any patch file.
+
+### Final Summary
+Give me a concise executive summary: number of files changed, any warnings or patterns you noticed, and your recommended next step.
