CoffeeOS Aider Configuration

This skill configures Aider for optimal development on the CoffeeOS monorepo, a Next.js/Turbo workspace with apps and packages.

What This Configuration Does

Instructions

When setting up Aider for a CoffeeOS-style monorepo project:

1. **Model Selection**

- Set `model: gpt-4o` for primary code editing

- Set `editor-model: gpt-4o-mini` for faster, simpler edits

2. **Auto-Commit Configuration**

- Enable `auto-commits: true` to automatically commit changes

- Enable `dirty-commits: true` to allow commits with uncommitted changes

- Set commit prompt: "Generate a conventional commit message following the format: type(scope): description"

3. **Edit Format**

- Use `edit-format: diff` for clear change visibility

4. **File Scope**

- Read from: apps/, packages/, docs/

- Exclude: node_modules/, .next/, dist/, build/, .turbo/, coverage/, .git/, *.lock, *.log

5. **Git Integration**

- Enable `git: true` for git operations

- Enable `gitignore: true` to respect .gitignore

- Enable `commit: true` to commit changes

- Enable `attribute-author: true` and `attribute-committer: true` for proper git attribution

6. **Quality Gates**

- Enable `lint: true` with command: "npm run lint"

- Set `auto-test: false` (manual test control)

- Configure test command: "npm run test" (run manually when needed)

7. **Performance Settings**

- Enable `cache-prompts: true` for faster responses

- Set `cache-keepalive-pings: 0` to disable keepalive

- Set `map-refresh: auto` for automatic codebase map updates

8. **Developer Experience**

- Enable `show-diffs: true` to display changes clearly

- Set `message-file: .aider.msg` for message templates

- Set `voice-language: es` for Spanish voice support (adjust per project)

Example Usage

```bash

Start Aider with this configuration

aider --config .aider.conf.yml

Make changes with auto-commit

aider --message "Add user authentication to admin dashboard"

Run with linting enabled

aider --lint --message "Refactor API endpoints"

```
