Pre-configured Aider settings for DevPod development with Kimi K2 model, auto-read conventions, URL detection, and optimized caching for efficient coding sessions.
This skill configures Aider for efficient development work on the DevPod project, using the Kimi K2 Instruct model via Groq with optimized settings for collaborative coding.
Sets up Aider with project-specific configuration including:
When a user wants to use this Aider configuration:
1. **Verify the configuration file location**
- Check if `.aider.conf.yaml` exists in the project root
- If not, create it at the root of the DevPod project
2. **Apply the following Aider configuration**
```yaml
read:
- CONVENTIONS.md
vim: false
detect-urls: true
model: groq/moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct-0905
timeout: 30
cache-prompts: true
show-diffs: true
no-auto-commits: true
weak-model: groq/openai/gpt-oss-20b
```
3. **Verify CONVENTIONS.md exists**
- Check if `CONVENTIONS.md` is present in the project
- If missing, inform the user that Aider will attempt to read this file on startup and may show a warning
4. **Explain the configuration settings to the user**
- `read: [CONVENTIONS.md]` - Automatically reads project conventions on every Aider session
- `vim: false` - Disables vim keybindings for standard editing
- `detect-urls: true` - Automatically detects and processes URLs in context
- `model: groq/moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct-0905` - Uses Kimi K2 Instruct as the primary reasoning model
- `timeout: 30` - Sets 30-second timeout for API requests
- `cache-prompts: true` - Enables prompt caching for faster repeated operations
- `show-diffs: true` - Displays diffs before applying changes
- `no-auto-commits: true` - Disables automatic git commits, giving manual control
- `weak-model: groq/openai/gpt-oss-20b` - Uses GPT OSS 20B for simpler tasks
5. **Confirm the setup**
- Inform the user that Aider is now configured for DevPod development
- Suggest running `aider` in the project directory to start a session
- Remind them they'll need Groq API credentials configured in their environment
**Starting an Aider session:**
```bash
cd /path/to/devpod
aider
```
**Expected behavior:**
**Typical workflow:**
1. Start Aider in the DevPod project
2. Project conventions are auto-loaded
3. Make code changes with AI assistance
4. Review diffs before accepting
5. Manually commit when ready
