Aider Configuration for TypeScript Calendar Service

This skill configures Aider AI for development on a TypeScript-based calendar service that syncs Google Calendar and ICS feeds into a local SQLite database with recurrence expansion and multiple export formats.

What This Configuration Does

Instructions

When working with this Aider configuration, follow these steps:

1. **Initialize Aider in your calendar service project**

- Ensure you're in the root directory of the TypeScript calendar project

- The configuration will automatically use GPT-4o for main development tasks

- Editor operations (quick edits, refactors) will use the faster GPT-4o-mini model

2. **Leverage the Git Integration**

- Auto-lint is enabled, so code will be linted before commits

- Dirty commits are allowed (commits even with uncommitted changes)

- Auto-commits are disabled, giving you manual control over commit timing

- Git and .gitignore integration ensures proper version control

3. **Review Changes with Enhanced Diffs**

- Pretty mode and show-diffs are enabled for clear code review

- You'll see formatted diffs for all proposed changes before accepting

- Use this to verify calendar logic, date handling, and API integration changes

4. **Work with the Codebase Map**

- Map tokens set to 2048 for adequate context window

- Aider will maintain awareness of TypeScript types, calendar models, and service architecture

- Particularly useful for understanding recurrence expansion logic and sync patterns

5. **Common Calendar Service Tasks**

- When adding new calendar providers: Aider will maintain consistent API patterns

- When modifying recurrence logic: Review diffs carefully for date/time edge cases

- When updating database schema: Auto-lint catches TypeScript type mismatches

- When implementing export formats: Leverage the context map for format consistency
