Aider for AAS

Configuration for Aider AI pair programming tool optimized for the AaroneousAutomationSuite (AAS) project.

Description

This skill configures Aider to work efficiently with local Ollama models for background execution and automated git workflows. It uses Llama3 through Ollama with diff-based editing, auto-commits, and a streamlined UI for headless operation.

Instructions

When setting up Aider for the AaroneousAutomationSuite project, apply the following configuration:

Model Configuration

1. Set the model to `ollama/llama3` for local inference

2. Use `diff` edit format for cleaner, more reviewable code changes

3. Configure map tokens to 1024 for efficient repository mapping

Git Integration

1. Enable auto-commit to automatically commit changes after each edit

2. Allow dirty commits to work with uncommitted changes in the repository

3. Attribute author and committer to properly track AI-assisted changes in git history

UI and Performance

1. Disable streaming output (`stream: false`) for better background execution

2. Enable dark mode for terminal compatibility

3. Respect `.gitignore` patterns when scanning repository files

4. Enable chat history restoration to maintain context across sessions

Command Template

When invoking Aider with these settings, use:

```bash

aider \

--model ollama/llama3 \

--edit-format diff \

--auto-commit \

--dirty-commits \

--attribute-author \

--attribute-committer \

--no-stream \

--dark-mode \

--gitignore \

--restore-chat-history \

--map-tokens 1024

```

Or create an `.aider.conf.yml` file in the project root:

```yaml

model: ollama/llama3

edit-format: diff

auto-commit: true

dirty-commits: true

attribute-author: true

attribute-committer: true

stream: false

dark-mode: true

gitignore: true

restore-chat-history: true

map-tokens: 1024

```

Usage Examples

**Start Aider session with configuration:**

```bash

aider

```

**Add specific files to edit:**

```bash

aider src/main.py tests/test_main.py

```

**Run in architect mode for planning:**

```bash
