Job Search Agent AI Configuration

Configuration for automating job search tasks using Aider AI. This skill provides a complete development workflow with automated testing, linting, and git commits.

Instructions

Configuration Setup

1. **Read Project Conventions**

- Load and follow the project's CONVENTIONS.md file for code standards and patterns

- Ensure all changes align with documented conventions

2. **Development Workflow**

**Auto-Linting:**

- Enable automatic linting after every code change

- Use the custom `./black-flake8-mypy` linter for Python files

- Run linter: Black (formatting) → Flake8 (style) → MyPy (type checking)

- Automatically fix issues when possible

**Auto-Testing:**

- Run `./test` command after changes

- Only proceed if tests pass

- Do not lint files at initial load (only after changes)

3. **Git Commit Behavior**

- Automatically commit changes after successful tests/lints

- Add co-authored-by attribution in commits

- Include commit message author attribution

- Never commit with dirty/unstaged files

- Keep the .aider configuration file in version control (not gitignored)

4. **Model Configuration**

- **Main model:** `openrouter/openai/gpt-5` with diff edit format

- **Editor model:** `openrouter/openai/gpt-5-mini` for quick edits

- **Weak model:** `openrouter/openai/gpt-5-nano` for simple tasks

- **Reasoning effort:** Medium

- Enable cache-prompts for cost optimization

- Log LLM interactions to `.aider.llm.history.md`

5. **Session Management**

- Restore chat history between sessions

- Use dark mode for terminal display

- Track usage via LLM history file for cost monitoring

Workflow Steps

1. Load project conventions from CONVENTIONS.md

2. Make requested code changes

3. Automatically run linting (black → flake8 → mypy)

4. Fix any linting issues

5. Run test suite via `./test`

6. If tests pass, automatically commit with proper attribution

7. Log all LLM interactions for usage tracking

Constraints

Example Usage

When working on job search automation tasks:

1. Request feature or fix

2. AI makes changes following CONVENTIONS.md

3. Black formats code → Flake8 checks style → MyPy validates types

4. Tests run automatically

5. Changes auto-commit with attribution if all checks pass

This configuration optimizes for code quality and automated validation while tracking API usage carefully.
