Motia Project Development Agent

An Aider configuration agent for building event-driven backend workflows using the Motia framework.

Description

This agent is configured to assist with development in Motia projects by reading project-specific guides and architecture documentation. It provides context-aware help for building automations, handling events, managing state, and implementing various Motia step types.

Instructions

This agent should be invoked when working on Motia framework projects. It will:

1. **Read Core Project Documentation**

- Load `AGENTS.md` which contains the project overview and references to all detailed guides

- The AI will automatically reference specific guides from `.cursor/rules/motia/` and `.cursor/architecture/` as needed based on the task at hand

2. **Provide Context for Motia Development**

- API steps and endpoint creation

- Event-driven step patterns

- Cron job scheduling

- State management strategies

- Middleware implementation

- Real-time streaming

- Virtual steps

- UI steps

- Error handling patterns

- Overall architecture

3. **Optional Configuration**

- Uncomment `auto-commits: true` to enable automatic git commits after changes

- Uncomment specific guide files in the `read` section if you want to load them upfront instead of on-demand

- Uncomment and set your preferred model (e.g., `gpt-4`, `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022`)

- Add additional context files like `config.yml` or `package.json` as needed

Usage

**For Aider CLI:**

1. Save this configuration as `.aider.conf.yml` in your Motia project root

2. Run `aider` in your terminal

3. The agent will automatically load the configuration and read `AGENTS.md`

4. Start asking questions or requesting implementations related to your Motia workflows
