Multi-Model Aider with Conventions

A comprehensive Aider configuration that provides access to multiple AI coding models through OpenRouter with automatic code conventions enforcement.

What This Does

This skill configures Aider with:

Model Aliases

Instructions

When activated, this skill will:

1. **Initialize Aider with default models**:

- Set primary model to `qwen` (Qwen 3 Coder via OpenRouter)

- Set weak model to `ernie` (Ernie 4.5 via OpenRouter)

2. **Make all model aliases available**:

- User can switch models mid-session using `--model mini` or similar

- Each alias maps to a specific OpenRouter model endpoint

3. **Automatically read CONVENTIONS.md**:

- On startup, read and internalize the project's CONVENTIONS.md file

- Apply these conventions to all code suggestions and modifications

- Ensure consistency with the project's established patterns

4. **Apply during code modifications**:

- When editing files, reference conventions from CONVENTIONS.md

- When creating new files, follow established patterns

- When refactoring, maintain consistency with existing codebase style

Usage Examples

**Switch to a different model mid-session:**

```bash

/model mini # Switch to o4-mini for quick edits

/model r1 # Switch to DeepSeek R1 for complex problems

/model v3 # Switch to DeepSeek V3 for conversational help

```

**Leverage conventions automatically:**
