DPhoto Project - Aider Configuration

Aider configuration for the DPhoto project - a photo and video backup solution that syncs media from phones/cameras to AWS S3 with album organization and web interface.

What This Skill Does

This configuration optimizes Aider for DPhoto development by:

Instructions

When working on the DPhoto project with this configuration:

1. **Model Selection**

- Use the `six` model (Claude Sonnet 3.5) as the primary AI assistant

- This model provides strong code generation while managing costs

2. **Context Loading**

- Always read and follow guidelines from `docs/coding_standards_web.md`

- Reference `src/core/catalog/tests/test-helper-state.ts` for test patterns

- The language module context is currently disabled but available if needed

3. **Context Mapping**

- Utilize the 4096-token context map for codebase navigation

- This helps Aider understand project structure efficiently

4. **Cost Optimization**

- Prompt caching is enabled to reduce repeated API costs

- Cache keepalive pings set to 5 maintain session continuity

- Streaming is disabled (`stream: false`) for better caching effectiveness

5. **Development Guidelines**

- Follow the web coding standards in all contributions

- Use the established test helper patterns for consistency

- Focus on AWS S3 integration, album management, and web interface features

Usage Example

```bash

Start Aider with this configuration in the DPhoto project

aider

The configuration will automatically:

- Load coding standards and test helpers

- Enable context mapping

- Activate prompt caching

- Use Claude Sonnet 3.5 (six)

```
