This skill provides an Aider configuration optimized for e-commerce project development, featuring Claude Sonnet integration, automatic linting, and streamlined git workflows.

What This Does

Sets up Aider with best practices for e-commerce development:

Instructions

1. **Create the configuration file** in your git repository root:

- Create `.aider.conf.yml` at the root of your repository

2. **Copy the configuration**:

```yaml

# Main model settings

model: claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620

# History preservation

input-history-file: .aider.input.history

chat-history-file: .aider.chat.history.md

restore-chat-history: true

# Terminal appearance

dark-mode: true

pretty: true

stream: true

# Git settings

git: true

gitignore: true

auto-commits: true

dirty-commits: true

attribute-author: true

attribute-committer: true

# Automatic quality checks

auto-lint: true

auto-test: false

# Repo mapping optimization

map-tokens: 1024

show-model-warnings: true

# Update checking

check-update: true

```

3. **Set your API key**:

- Create a `.env` file in your git root

- Add: `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key_here`

- The `.env` file will be automatically loaded by Aider

4. **Optional: Add lint commands** for specific languages:

```yaml

lint-cmd:

- "python: flake8 --select=E,W,F"

- "javascript: eslint"

```

5. **Optional: Add test command** if you want automatic testing:

```yaml

test-cmd: "npm test"

auto-test: true

```

6. **Verify the configuration**:

- Run `aider --help` to ensure the config is loaded

- Check that `.aider*` files are added to `.gitignore`
