NoizuPromptLingo Aider Configuration

This skill configures Aider for the NoizuPromptLingo project - a standardized prompt syntax/language designed to train both models and humans for faster behavior tuning of AI models.

What This Skill Does

Provides a comprehensive Aider configuration template covering all aspects of AI-assisted coding: model selection, caching, git integration, linting/testing, analytics, voice input, and terminal customization. This configuration is specifically tuned for prompt engineering and model training workflows.

Instructions

When a user requests to set up Aider configuration for NoizuPromptLingo or similar prompt engineering projects, follow these steps:

1. **Create Configuration File**

- Generate `.aider.conf.yml` at the git repository root

- Include comprehensive documentation for all available options

- Set reasonable defaults for prompt engineering workflows

2. **Core Model Configuration**

- Configure primary model selection with `--model` parameter

- Set up weak model for commit messages and summarization

- Configure editor model for code editing tasks

- Enable prompt caching with `cache-prompts: true` for efficiency

- Set appropriate `map-tokens` for repository context

3. **Git Integration Settings**

- Enable auto-commits for LLM changes (`auto-commits: true`)

- Configure commit attribution using Co-authored-by trailers

- Set up `.aiderignore` file for excluding files

- Enable git hooks with appropriate verification settings

- Configure commit message language preferences

4. **Code Quality Automation**

- Set up `auto-lint: true` for automatic linting after changes

- Configure language-specific lint commands with `lint-cmd`

- Define test commands with `test-cmd` parameter

- Enable/disable auto-testing based on project needs

5. **Agent Loading**

- Set `load: ./AGENT.md` to execute commands from agent definition file on launch

- This enables the NoizuPromptLingo standardized prompt syntax to be active

6. **Terminal & Output Customization**

- Configure color scheme (dark-mode/light-mode)

- Set code theme for markdown rendering

- Enable/disable streaming responses

- Configure notification preferences

- Set up fancy input with history and completion

7. **Advanced Features**

- Configure voice input settings (format, language, device)

- Set up URL detection for adding web content to chat

- Enable shell command suggestions

- Configure editor integration for `/editor` command

- Set up analytics preferences (enable/disable)

8. **Environment & Security**

- Store API keys in `.env` file (not in YAML)

- Configure SSL verification for API calls

- Set API timeouts appropriately

- Use `set-env` for provider-specific environment variables

Key Configuration Sections

Model Selection

```yaml

model: anthropic/claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219

weak-model: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022

editor-model: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022

cache-prompts: true

```

Git Workflow

```yaml

git: true

auto-commits: true

dirty-commits: true

attribute-co-authored-by: true

gitignore: true

```

Code Quality

```yaml

auto-lint: true

lint-cmd:

- "python: ruff check"

- "javascript: eslint"

test-cmd: "pytest"

auto-test: false

```

Agent Integration

```yaml

load: ./AGENT.md

```

Usage Examples

**Example 1: Basic Setup**

```bash

Create configuration file at repo root

aider --config .aider.conf.yml

Configuration automatically loads AGENT.md for NoizuPromptLingo syntax

```

**Example 2: Custom Model Setup**

```yaml

model: anthropic/claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219

weak-model: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022

cache-prompts: true

cache-keepalive-pings: 3

```

**Example 3: Prompt Engineering Workflow**

```yaml

map-tokens: 2048

auto-commits: true

commit-prompt: "Describe changes to prompt templates and model behavior"

auto-lint: true

show-diffs: true

```
