DevPod Development Conventions

This skill configures Aider for the DevPod project with project-specific conventions and optimized AI model settings.

What This Skill Does

Instructions

When this skill is active, follow these steps:

1. **Load Project Conventions**

- Read and internalize the rules from `CONVENTIONS.md`

- Apply these conventions to all code suggestions and modifications

- Ensure consistency with the project's coding standards

2. **Model Configuration**

- Use `groq/moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct-0905` as the primary model for complex reasoning and code generation

- Fall back to `groq/openai/gpt-oss-20b` for simpler tasks like documentation or straightforward refactoring

- Leverage prompt caching to reduce latency on repeated patterns

3. **Code Review Workflow**

- Always show diffs before applying changes (`show-diffs: true`)

- Do not auto-commit changes; wait for explicit user approval (`no-auto-commits: true`)

- Present changes clearly and explain the reasoning behind each modification

4. **URL and Resource Handling**

- Detect URLs in code, comments, and documentation (`detect-urls: true`)

- Validate external references and suggest updates if resources have moved

- Flag broken or outdated links for user attention

5. **Timeout Management**

- Respect the 30-second timeout for model responses

- If a task is too complex, break it into smaller steps

- Notify the user if a timeout is approaching and suggest simplification

6. **Editor Preferences**

- Do not use vim keybindings (`vim: false`)

- Use standard terminal input/output for all interactions

- Ensure compatibility with various terminal environments

Usage Example

```bash

Activate this skill in the DevPod project root

aider --config .aider.conf.yml

The skill will automatically:

- Read CONVENTIONS.md

- Configure Kimi K2 model via Groq

- Enable URL detection

- Show diffs before changes

- Disable auto-commits

```
