Agentic Workflow Enforcement

This skill configures Aider to enforce a structured agentic workflow by automatically loading key workflow documentation and conventions at startup.

Description

When Aider starts, this skill ensures the AI assistant is immediately aware of:

This approach guarantees consistent adherence to multi-agent development patterns across all coding sessions.

Instructions

1. **Startup Configuration**: Configure Aider to read critical workflow files on initialization:

- `AI-WORKFLOW.md` — Overall agentic workflow methodology

- `ai-assistants/agents/product-owner-agent.md` — Product Owner agent definition

- `CLAUDE.md` — Project context and instructions

2. **Convention Loading**: Point Aider to `.aider.conventions.md` as the conventions file containing:

- Workflow enforcement rules

- Agent interaction patterns

- Code review checkpoints

- Multi-agent coordination guidelines

3. **Session Consistency**: Ensure every Aider session starts with full context by:

- Loading all workflow documentation before any code changes

- Maintaining awareness of agent roles throughout the session

- Following conventions defined in the conventions file

4. **Workflow Adherence**: During coding:

- Reference the loaded workflow documents for decision-making

- Follow the multi-agent pattern defined in AI-WORKFLOW.md

- Respect agent boundaries and responsibilities

- Apply conventions consistently across all changes

Usage Example

Place this `.aider.conf.yml` in your project root:

```yaml

Aider Configuration - Agentic Workflow Enforcement

Read files at startup to understand the workflow

read:

- AI-WORKFLOW.md

- ai-assistants/agents/product-owner-agent.md

- CLAUDE.md

Convention file with workflow instructions

conventions: .aider.conventions.md

```

Then run `aider` in your project directory. The AI will automatically load all workflow context and conventions.
