Mainframe Aider Configuration

Aider configuration optimized for working with MAINFRAME - an AI-Native Bash Runtime with LSP & MCP support featuring 2,000+ pure bash functions with zero dependencies, designed for safe execution, structured output, and first-time correctness for AI agents.

Configuration

This skill configures Aider to work seamlessly with MAINFRAME by loading project conventions as read-only context. This ensures the AI agent understands MAINFRAME's architecture, patterns, and best practices.

Setup Instructions

1. **Copy Configuration File**

- Copy the `.aider.conf.yml` configuration to your project root directory

- Alternatively, place it in `~/.aider.conf.yml` for global configuration

2. **Copy Conventions Document**

- Ensure `CONVENTIONS.md` exists in your project root

- This file contains MAINFRAME-specific coding standards, patterns, and architectural guidelines

- The conventions are loaded as read-only context to guide the AI agent

3. **Configuration Content**

```yaml

# Aider configuration for MAINFRAME

# Copy this file to your project root or ~/.aider.conf.yml

# Also copy CONVENTIONS.md to your project root

# Load MAINFRAME conventions as read-only context

read: CONVENTIONS.md

```

What This Configuration Does

Usage

Once configured, simply run Aider in your MAINFRAME project:

```bash

aider

```

The conventions will be automatically loaded, and the AI will have full context about MAINFRAME's:
