Aider Configuration

This skill configures Aider, an AI pair programming tool, with optimal settings for AI-assisted coding workflows.

What This Skill Does

Sets up Aider with:

Instructions

When configuring Aider, create or update the `.aider.conf.yaml` file with the following settings:

1. **Set the default model** to `groq/openai/gpt-oss-120b` - a high-performance open-source model via Groq's API

2. **Disable analytics** (`analytics-disable: true`) to prevent usage data collection

3. **Disable auto-lint** (`auto-lint: false`) to give users manual control over linting

4. **Disable gitignore** (`gitignore: false`) to allow Aider to see all files regardless of gitignore rules

5. **Configure model aliases** for quick model switching:

- `i` → `groq/llama-3.1-8b-instant` (fast, lightweight model for quick tasks)

- `g` → `groq/openai/gpt-oss-120b` (default, balanced performance)

- `f` → `groq/openai/gpt-oss-20b` (faster, smaller model)

- `k` → `groq/moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct-0905` (alternative model option)

Usage

After configuration, users can:

Configuration File Format
