2. **Create .aiderignore file** if it doesn't exist to exclude build artifacts and dependencies:

```

node_modules/

dist/

build/

.turbo/

.next/

coverage/

*.log

.DS_Store

```

3. **Verify the configuration** by running:

```bash

aider --help

```

4. **Start Aider** with the configuration:

```bash

aider

```

Key Configuration Features

**Auto-commits enabled**: Every change is automatically committed with proper attribution

**Dirty commits allowed**: Can commit even with uncommitted changes in working directory

**Map tokens**: 2048 tokens for efficient codebase mapping with auto-refresh

**Read-only context**: All package.json, README.md, and config files loaded as context without making them editable

**Vim mode**: Enabled for vim keybindings

**No auto-lint/test**: Disabled to allow manual control over when these run

**Monorepo awareness**: Configuration includes context from docs, tailwindcss, primitives, ui, and icons packages

Usage Example

```bash

Start aider with this configuration

aider

The configuration will automatically:

- Load all read-only context files

- Enable vim mode

- Stream responses

- Auto-commit changes with attribution

- Use 2048 tokens for code mapping

Example prompt:

"Add a new Button variant to the UI package following the existing pattern"

```

Important Notes

This configuration is optimized for a Qwik.js monorepo structure

Auto-lint and auto-test are disabled to give you control over when these checks run

All package configuration files are loaded as read-only context to inform AI about project structure

The `.aiderignore` file should be created to exclude build artifacts

Git integration is enabled with automatic commits and dirty commit support
