Aider Configuration (Hotmeal)

This skill configures Aider for the hotmeal-ext project with Claude 3.7 Sonnet (thought variant) via a local Copilot API proxy, architect mode, and project-specific conventions.

What This Does

Sets up Aider with:

Instructions

When the user invokes this skill, configure Aider with the following `.aider.conf.yaml`:

1. **Enable architect mode** for planning capabilities

2. **Set primary model** to `openai/claude-3.7-sonnet-thought` via local proxy at `http://localhost:4141/`

3. **Configure edit formats**:

- Main: `diff`

- Editor: `editor-diff`

4. **Define model aliases**:

- `sonnet` → `openai/claude-3.7-sonnet`

- `sonnet-t` → `openai/claude-3.7-sonnet-thought`

- `flash` → `openai/gemini-2.0-flash-001`

- `o3` → `openai/o3-mini`

5. **Set editor model** to `openai/claude-3.7-sonnet` (non-thought variant)

6. **Configure repo map** to use 2048 tokens for better context

7. **Disable auto-commits** (`auto-commits: false`, `dirty-commits: false`)

8. **Disable git attribution** (`attribute-author: false`, `attribute-committer: false`)

9. **Add read-only files** for project conventions:

- `llms/gscc.md`

- `llms/conventions.md`

10. **Enable dark mode** for terminal output

11. **Disable model warnings** and URL detection
