MyFlow Aider Configuration

This skill configures Aider for the MyFlow project (Slow-Town-LLC-Internal/myflow) with project-specific conventions, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking model, and architect chat mode optimized for design discussions.

Configuration Overview

This setup disables git integration and auto-commits (dry-run mode) to give you full control over version control, while maintaining dark mode for comfortable viewing and disabling analytics for privacy.

Instructions

When working with this Aider configuration:

1. **Load Project Conventions**

- Automatically read and follow guidelines from `CONVENTIONS.md`

- Apply these conventions to all code suggestions and architectural decisions

- Reference conventions when making design choices

2. **Use Architect Mode**

- Engage in high-level design discussions before implementation

- Focus on system architecture, patterns, and trade-offs

- Propose multiple approaches when applicable

- Consider long-term maintainability and scalability

3. **Model Selection**

- Primary: Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking (experimental) for enhanced reasoning

- Alternatives available (commented out):

- Gemini 1.5 Flash Latest

- Vertex AI Codestral

- Vertex AI Claude 3.5 Sonnet

- To switch models, comment the current model line and uncomment desired alternative

4. **Git and Commit Workflow**

- Git integration disabled (`no-git: true`)

- Auto-commits disabled (`no-auto-commits: true`)

- Dry-run mode enabled (`dry-run: true`)

- You maintain full manual control over version control

- Review all changes before committing

5. **Development Workflow**

- Use architect mode to discuss design before coding

- Reference `CONVENTIONS.md` for project standards

- Make changes in dry-run mode to preview impact

- Manually review and commit approved changes

- Iterate on architecture before implementation

6. **Privacy and Analytics**

- Analytics completely disabled (`analytics-disable: true`)

- No telemetry or usage data collected

- Full privacy for proprietary code

Usage Example

```bash
