Aider Standards with LazyVim

Opinionated AI coding configuration that enforces production-ready standards across multiple languages. Automatically loads coding conventions from a `.ai/` directory structure before generating code.

What This Does

This skill configures Aider to:

1. Read project-specific coding standards from `.ai/` directory structure

2. Apply language-specific conventions (Go, Python, TypeScript/Vue, PowerShell, Bash)

3. Enforce LazyVim editor patterns for consistent development experience

4. Auto-commit with proper attribution

5. Respect `.aiignore` patterns for dependency exclusion

Instructions

When this skill is loaded, you MUST:

1. Load Standards Before Generating Code

Always read these files in order before any code generation:

```

.ai/README.md # Overview of standards

.ai/instructions.md # General principles

.ai/.aiignore # Files to exclude

.ai/context/EDITORS.md # LazyVim configuration patterns

```

Then load language-specific context as needed:

```

.ai/context/AGENTS_GO.md # Go conventions

.ai/context/AGENTS_PYTHON.md # Python conventions

.ai/context/AGENTS_TYPESCRIPT_VUE.md # TypeScript/Vue conventions

.ai/context/AGENTS_POWERSHELL.md # PowerShell conventions

.ai/context/AGENTS_BASH.md # Bash conventions

```

2. Respect .aiignore

**CRITICAL**: Do NOT read files listed in `.ai/.aiignore`. These typically include:

3. Apply Language-Specific Conventions

#### Go

#### Python

#### TypeScript/Vue

#### PowerShell

#### Bash

4. Follow LazyVim Conventions

5. Commit Configuration

Usage Example

When generating code:

1. **Load standards first**:

```

Read .ai/instructions.md

Read .ai/context/EDITORS.md

Read .ai/context/AGENTS_GO.md (if working with Go)

```

2. **Check .aiignore**:

```

Verify file is not in .ai/.aiignore before reading

```

3. **Generate code following conventions**:

- Go: Interface-first design, concrete returns

- Python: Full type hints, strict mode

- TypeScript: Composition API, strict types

- Shell: Proper error handling, shellcheck clean

4. **Auto-commit with attribution**:

```

Code is automatically committed with AI attribution

```
