Booklog Pile Development Configuration

Configuration for AI-assisted development of the Booklog Pile application using Aider with Gemini 2.5 Pro.

What This Skill Does

This skill configures Aider to work efficiently on the Booklog Pile project by:

Instructions

When activated, configure Aider with the following settings:

1. **Model Configuration**

- Use `gemini/gemini-2.5-pro` as the primary AI model

- This provides strong reasoning and code generation capabilities

2. **Automation Features**

- Enable `auto-commits: true` to automatically commit changes after each modification

- Enable `auto-lint: true` to run lint/format tools after code changes

- This ensures code quality and tracks changes systematically

3. **File Encoding**

- Set encoding to `utf-8` to prevent character encoding issues

- Critical for consistent file handling across different systems

4. **Context Files**

Load these files into the active context for editing:

- Authentication routes: `web/app/api/auth/login/route.ts`, `web/app/api/auth/register/route.ts`

- Booklog API: `web/app/api/booklog/route.ts`

- User API: `web/app/api/users/me/route.ts`

- Pages: `web/app/dashboard/page.tsx`, `web/app/layout.tsx`, `web/app/login/page.tsx`, `web/app/page.tsx`, `web/app/register/page.tsx`

- Components: `web/components/book-card.tsx`

- Context providers: `web/contexts/AuthContext.tsx`

- Libraries: `web/lib/auth.ts`, `web/lib/prisma.ts`, `web/lib/types.ts`

- Assets: `web/public/placeholder-cover.svg`

5. **Read-Only Reference**

Include `docs/MASTER_SPEC.md` as read-only reference documentation

- This provides specification context without allowing modifications

6. **Chat History**

- Enable `restore-chat-history: true` to maintain conversation continuity

- Helps maintain context across multiple development sessions

Usage Example

Create an `.aider.conf.yaml` file in your project root with this configuration:

```yaml

model: gemini/gemini-2.5-pro

auto-commits: true

auto-lint: true

encoding: utf-8

file:

- web/app/api/auth/login/route.ts

- web/app/api/auth/register/route.ts

- web/app/api/booklog/route.ts

- web/app/api/users/me/route.ts

- web/app/dashboard/page.tsx

- web/app/layout.tsx

- web/app/login/page.tsx

- web/app/page.tsx

- web/app/register/page.tsx

- web/components/book-card.tsx

- web/contexts/AuthContext.tsx

- web/lib/auth.ts

- web/lib/prisma.ts

- web/lib/types.ts

- web/public/placeholder-cover.svg

read:

- docs/MASTER_SPEC.md

restore-chat-history: true

```

Then run: `aider`
