Aider Configuration for Python Auto-Post Bot

Configure Aider AI coding assistant with automatic commits, structured Russian commit messages, default file awareness, and integrated Python linting.

What This Does

Sets up Aider to:

Instructions

1. **Create `.aider.conf.yml` in project root** with the following configuration:

```yaml

model: openai/gpt-5

editor-model: openai/gpt-5

auto-commits: true

commit-prompt: |

Кратко и по делу. Формат:

- scope: <подсистема>

- what: <что сделано>

- why: <зачем/эффект>

чтобы Aider видел важные файлы по умолчанию

read:

- README.md

- Procfile

- requirements.txt

- app/**/*.py

- config/**/*.yaml

стиль кода

lint-cmd: "ruff check --fix . && black ."

```

2. **Ensure Python linters are installed**:

```bash

pip install ruff black

```

3. **Set OpenAI API key** (if not already configured):

```bash

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

```

4. **Run Aider**:

```bash

aider

```

Configuration Breakdown

**Models:**

**Auto-commits:**

- `scope`: subsystem affected

- `what`: what was done

- `why`: purpose/effect

**Default Files:**

- `README.md` - project documentation

- `Procfile` - deployment configuration

- `requirements.txt` - Python dependencies

- `app/**/*.py` - all Python files in app directory

- `config/**/*.yaml` - configuration files

**Linting:**

- `ruff check --fix .` - fast Python linter with auto-fix

- `black .` - opinionated code formatter

Usage Notes

Requirements

Example Workflow

1. Start Aider: `aider`

2. Make a request: "Add error handling to the API endpoint"

3. Aider reads default files, generates code, runs linters, and auto-commits with structured message

4. Review commit: `git log -1` to see the Russian-formatted commit message
