Configure Aider for multi-agent framework development with automatic git commits, lint/test integration, and streaming diff output.
Sets up Aider with best practices for task execution and code migration in multi-agent systems, including conventional commits, clippy integration, and automatic file watching.
1. **Verify Aider Installation**
- Check that Aider is installed: `aider --version`
- Ensure `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` environment variable is set
2. **Create Configuration File**
- Create `.aider.conf.yml` in project root
- Copy the configuration structure below
3. **Configure Git Integration**
- Enable `auto-commits: true` for automatic commit after each change
- Set `dirty-commits: false` to prevent commits with uncommitted changes
- Use `attribute-author: true` to credit Aider in git author field
- Configure commit prompt with conventional commit format
4. **Set Up File Handling**
- Enable `gitignore: true` to respect .gitignore patterns
- Create `.aiderignore` file for Aider-specific exclusions
- Enable `watch-files: true` for auto-reload on changes
5. **Configure Editor Settings**
- Use `edit-format: diff` for clear change visualization
- Enable `stream: true` for real-time output
- Set `show-diffs: true` to display all changes
6. **Set Lint Command**
- For Rust: `lint-cmd: cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- For Python: `lint-cmd: ruff check .`
- For JavaScript: `lint-cmd: eslint .`
- For Go: `lint-cmd: golangci-lint run`
7. **Set Test Command**
- For Rust: `test-cmd: cargo test --all`
- For Python: `test-cmd: pytest`
- For JavaScript: `test-cmd: npm test`
- For Go: `test-cmd: go test ./...`
8. **Customize Commit Messages**
- Edit the `commit-prompt` to match team conventions
- Use conventional commit types: feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore
- Focus commit messages on "why" not "what"
9. **Launch Aider**
- Run `aider` in project directory to start session
- Configuration is automatically loaded from `.aider.conf.yml`
```yaml
auto-commits: true
dirty-commits: false
attribute-author: true
attribute-committer: false
commit-prompt: |
Write a concise commit message for these changes.
Focus on the "why" not the "what".
Use conventional commit format: type(scope): description
gitignore: true
aiderignore: .aiderignore
edit-format: diff
stream: true
dark-mode: true
pretty: true
show-diffs: true
lint-cmd: cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
test-cmd: cargo test --all
watch-files: true
```
**Rust Project:**
```yaml
lint-cmd: cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
test-cmd: cargo test --all
```
**Python Project:**
```yaml
lint-cmd: ruff check . && mypy .
test-cmd: pytest tests/ -v
```
**TypeScript Project:**
```yaml
lint-cmd: eslint . --ext .ts,.tsx && tsc --noEmit
test-cmd: npm test
```
**Multi-Agent Framework:**
```yaml
lint-cmd: make lint
test-cmd: make test-integration
```
