Hakan's AI Assistant Configuration

A multi-model Aider configuration optimized for development workflows with model aliases, custom notifications for long-running tasks, and a Dracula-themed interface.

Model Strategy

This configuration sets up four AI assistant personas with different capabilities:

Key Features

1. **Model Aliases**: Easily switch between models using memorable names

2. **Audio Notifications**: Play a sound when AI responses complete (useful for long-running tasks with 1+ minute latency)

3. **Dracula Theme**: Complete color scheme matching the popular Dracula theme

4. **Git Safety**: Disabled auto-commits to maintain manual control over version history

5. **Privacy First**: Analytics and update checks disabled

Configuration Breakdown

Model Selection

```yaml

model: adept # Default to Gemini 2.5 Pro

cache-prompts: true # Enable prompt caching for faster responses

```

Git Behavior

```yaml

git: false # Don't require git repo

auto-commits: false # Manual commit control

dirty-commits: false # Don't commit with unstaged changes

```

Privacy & Updates

```yaml

analytics-disable: true # No telemetry

check-update: false # Don't check for updates

show-release-notes: false # Skip release notes

```

Notifications

```yaml

notifications: true # Enable audio alerts

notifications-command: "ffplay -autoexit -nodisp -af 'volume=2.0' $HOME/.local/share/sounds/effects/nier_enter.mp3 &>/dev/null 2>&1"

```

The notification plays a NieR-themed sound effect at 2x volume when tasks complete.

Dracula Theme Colors

```yaml

code-theme: dracula

user-input-color: "#bd93f9" # Purple

Usage Instructions

1. **Save this configuration** as `.aider.conf.yml` in your home directory or project root

2. **Install required audio player** (for notifications):

```bash

# On Ubuntu/Debian

sudo apt install ffmpeg

# On macOS

brew install ffmpeg

```

3. **Add notification sound** at `$HOME/.local/share/sounds/effects/nier_enter.mp3` (or customize the path)

4. **Switch models during session** using aliases:

```

/model sage # Switch to Claude Opus for complex tasks

/model scribe # Switch to Gemini Flash for quick edits

/model imp # Switch to Gemini Flash Lite for simple tasks

/model adept # Switch back to default Gemini Pro

```

5. **Start Aider** and the configuration will be automatically loaded
