Aider setup with dark mode, VI mode, Neovim editor, auto-lint enabled, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet model. Disables gitignore updates and auto-commits for manual control.
Professional Aider configuration optimized for developers who prefer manual commit control, dark mode terminals, and VI-style editing.
This skill configures Aider with the following settings:
When the user requests this Aider configuration:
1. Create or update the `.aider.conf.yaml` file in the project root
2. Apply the following configuration:
```yaml
gitignore: false
auto-commits: false
auto-lint: true
vim: true
editor: nvim
##################
dark-mode: true
code-theme: github-dark
model: openai/claude-3.7-sonnet-thought
```
3. Inform the user about key configuration choices:
- Auto-commits are **disabled** - they'll need to manually commit changes
- Gitignore updates are **disabled** - .aider files won't be auto-added to .gitignore
- Auto-lint is **enabled** - code will be automatically linted after each change
- VI mode is **enabled** - terminal uses VI key bindings
- Neovim is set as the editor for `/editor` command
4. Suggest optional customizations:
- Alternative models: `gemini/gemini-2.5-pro-preview-03-25` or `openai/claude-3.7-sonnet`
- Alternative code themes: `monokai`, `solarized-dark`, `solarized-light`, or any Pygments built-in style
- Editor options: `vim`, `code`, `emacs`, etc.
**Apply this configuration:**
```bash
aider
```
**Customize the model:**
```yaml
model: gemini/gemini-2.5-pro-preview-03-25
model: openai/claude-3.7-sonnet
