Model & Interface

Behavior

Monorepo Structure

Instructions for AI Agent

When setting up Aider for this project, create an `.aider.conf.yaml` file with the following structure:

1. **Set the AI model**:

- Use `gemini-2.5-pro` as the primary model

2. **Configure interface preferences**:

- Enable dark mode for better visibility

- Set chat language to Japanese for localized interactions

3. **Enable automation features**:

- Turn on auto-commits to automatically commit changes after applying edits

- Enable shell command suggestions with permission prompts

4. **Load project conventions**:

- Configure Aider to read `./CONVENTIONS.md` on startup

5. **Document monorepo command patterns** (in comments for reference):

- Always use pnpm commands (never npm or yarn)

- For server commands: `pnpm run server -- <command>`

- For front-end commands: `pnpm run front -- <command>`

- For server e2e tests: `pnpm run test:e2e:server`
