MetaPy Python Development with Aider

This skill configures Aider for Python project development with automated formatting, testing, and structured commit message generation following conventional commit standards.

Features

Configuration

The skill applies these Aider settings:

Commit Attribution

File Monitoring

Convention Reference

Commit Message Structure

Generated commits follow this format:

```

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

```

**Valid types**: fix, feat, build, chore, ci, docs, style, refactor, perf, test

**Description requirements**:

**Body**: Included for significant changes requiring explanation

Model Configuration

Code Quality Automation

Usage

1. Ensure your Python project has a `Makefile` with `format` and `test` targets

2. Create a `CONVENTIONS.md` file documenting your project's coding standards

3. Start Aider with this configuration to enable automatic formatting, testing, and structured commits

Example Workflow

When you make changes:

1. Aider watches your files for modifications

2. On commit, it auto-formats code via `make format`

3. Runs tests via `make test` to ensure nothing breaks

4. Generates a conventional commit message following the structured format

5. Attributes the commit to Aider for transparency
