Aider Configuration

This skill configures Aider with optimal settings for development workflows, including co-authoring, file watching, vim mode, and model preferences.

Configuration Settings

Apply the following configuration to enhance your Aider development experience:

Core Features

1. **Enable Co-Authoring**: Add `Co-Authored-By` attribution to commits

2. **Watch Files**: Automatically detect and track file changes

3. **Vim Mode**: Enable vim-style navigation and editing

4. **Notifications**: Get notified about important events

Model Configuration

1. **Primary Model**: Use `openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-pro` as the main model

2. **Weak Model**: Use `openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-flash` for simpler tasks

3. **Model Alias**: Create shorthand `gemini` pointing to the pro model

Implementation

Create or update the Aider configuration file (`.aider.conf.yml` or similar) with these settings:

```yaml

attribute-co-authored-by: true

watch-files: true

vim: true

notifications: true

model: openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-pro

weak-model: openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-flash
