This skill configures Aider to use Claude 3.5 Sonnet via OpenRouter for exploring the space of potential products and features. Perfect for AI-driven product discovery and iterative development workflows.

Configuration

The skill sets up Aider with the following opinionated defaults:

Setup Instructions

1. **Set your OpenRouter API key** as an environment variable:

```bash

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-api-key

```

2. **Copy the configuration** to `.aider.conf.yml` in your project root:

```yaml

# Aider Configuration for Product Exploration

model: openrouter/anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet

git: true

auto-commits: false

edit-format: diff

```

3. **Launch Aider** in your project directory:

```bash

aider

```

Usage

With this configuration, you can engage Aider in exploratory conversations about product features:

```

> Help me explore different approaches to user onboarding for this app

> What are some innovative features we could add to improve retention?

> Let's prototype a new dashboard layout

```

The AI will suggest changes in diff format, and you retain full control over which changes to commit to your repository.
