HelixAgent AI Debate Ensemble

Aider configuration for HelixAgent integration featuring AI debate ensemble mode, multi-pass validation, and automated Go development workflows with linting and testing.

What This Skill Does

This skill configures Aider to work with HelixAgent's local API server, enabling:

Instructions

1. **Set up HelixAgent local server**

- Ensure HelixAgent is running on `localhost:7061` (main API)

- Ensure verifier service is running on `localhost:8081`

- The configuration expects OpenAI-compatible endpoints at `/v1`

2. **Configure the model and API**

- Model: `ai-debate-ensemble` (HelixAgent's multi-model debate system)

- API base URL: `http://localhost:7061/v1`

- API key: `helixagent-local` (local authentication token)

3. **Enable HelixAgent features**

- `helix.enabled: true` — Activates HelixAgent integration

- `helix.ai_debate: true` — Enables debate ensemble validation

- `helix.multi_pass_validation: true` — Enforces multi-round code verification

- `helix.verifier_url` — Points to the verification service endpoint

4. **Git workflow settings**

- `auto-commits: true` — Automatically commit validated changes

- `dirty-commits: false` — Prevent commits with uncommitted changes

- `attribute-author: true` — Preserve original author attribution

- `attribute-committer: true` — Record committer information

5. **Go development automation**

- `auto-lint: true` with `lint-cmd: "golangci-lint run"` — Lint before commits

- `auto-test: true` with `test-cmd: "go test ./..."` — Run tests before commits

- Ensure `golangci-lint` is installed and configured in your project

6. **UI and performance tuning**

- `stream: true` — Enable streaming responses for faster feedback

- `pretty: true` — Format output for readability

- `dark-mode: true` — Use dark theme

- `map-tokens: 1024` — Context map token budget for code navigation

7. **Save as `.aider.conf.yml`**

- Place this configuration in your project root or `~/.aider/` for global use

- Aider will automatically load settings on startup

Usage Examples

Start Aider with HelixAgent ensemble

```bash

aider

Configuration auto-loads from .aider.conf.yml

AI debate ensemble validates all changes

```

Make a code change with debate validation

```

/add main.go

Make the timeout configurable via environment variable

HelixAgent ensemble debates the implementation

Multiple AI perspectives validate the approach

Multi-pass verification checks edge cases

Auto-lint runs golangci-lint

Auto-test runs go test ./...

Auto-commit if all checks pass

```

Override test command for a session

```

/test-cmd go test -v -race ./...

/test

```
