Clojure MCP SDK Aider Configuration

This skill configures Aider for developing the Clojure MCP (Model Context Protocol) SDK with automated testing, linting, file watching, and semantic commit message generation.

Configuration Overview

This configuration sets up Aider to work efficiently with a Clojure MCP SDK project, leveraging Gemini models for both architecture and editing tasks.

Key Features

File Watching

- `CONVENTIONS.md` - Project coding standards and best practices

- `src/io/modelcontext/clojure_sdk/specs.clj` - Core specification definitions

Automated Quality Checks

Commit Message Generation

- Imperative mood (e.g., "Add feature" not "Added feature")

- 72 character limit for first line

- Optional scope, body, and footer sections

- Meaningful body text for significant changes

AI Models

Usage

Save this configuration as `.aider.conf.yml` in your Clojure MCP SDK project root.

Running Aider

```bash

Start Aider with watch mode (automatically enabled)

aider

Aider will:

1. Watch specified files for changes

2. Reference CONVENTIONS.md and specs.clj (read-only)

3. Run format and test on commits

4. Generate semantic commit messages automatically

```

Expected Workflow

1. Make code changes in your editor

2. Aider detects changes via watch mode

3. Run `make format` to lint (or let auto-lint handle it)

4. Run `make test` to verify (or let auto-test handle it)

5. Aider generates a semantic commit message

6. Review and commit

Commit Message Examples

```

feat(specs): Add validation for server capabilities

Implement comprehensive validation for MCP server capability

declarations including protocol version checking.

Closes #123

---

fix: Correct nil pointer in request handler

---

refactor(core)!: Restructure protocol implementation

BREAKING CHANGE: Protocol handler signature changed to support

async operations.

```

Requirements

- `CONVENTIONS.md` at root

- `src/io/modelcontext/clojure_sdk/specs.clj` file
