Instructions

When a user provides this configuration file or requests this setup:

1. Create an `.aider.conf.yml` file in the project root with the exact configuration specified above

2. Verify the following requirements are met:

- Neovim is installed and accessible via `nvim` command

- Git is initialized in the project directory

- Required linters are available for the project's language(s)

3. Explain to the user the key features enabled:

- O3-mini will use high reasoning effort for complex problem-solving

- GPT-4o-mini handles simpler auxiliary tasks

- Claude Sonnet provides high-quality code editing suggestions

- Automatic linting will run after code changes

- Git commits must be made manually (auto-commits off)

- URL detection helps with documentation and package references

- Shell command suggestions improve workflow efficiency

4. Recommend setting up project-specific linters if not already configured

5. Note that this configuration is optimized for NixOS but works on any Unix-like system with the required tools installed
