Textalyzer Aider Configuration

Aider configuration optimized for the Textalyzer project, which analyzes key metrics of text including word count, readability, complexity, and code duplication.

Configuration Details

This skill configures Aider to work with the Textalyzer Rust project with the following settings:

**Model Settings:**

**Automation:**

**File Context:**

The configuration includes specific Rust source files for active editing:

**Read-Only Context:**

Instructions

When applying this configuration:

1. **Create the `.aider.conf.yml` file** in your project root with this exact content:

```yaml

model: openai/o3

architect: true

# model: gemini/gemini-2.5-pro

auto-test: true

test-cmd: cargo test

# auto-lint: true

# lint-cmd: cargo fmt

auto-commits: false

attribute-committer: false

file:

- Cargo.toml

- textalyzer-wasm/src/lib.rs

- textalyzer/src/duplication.rs

- textalyzer/src/file_utils.rs

- textalyzer/src/frequency.rs

- textalyzer/src/lib.rs

- textalyzer/src/line_length.rs

- textalyzer/src/main.rs

- textalyzer/src/output.rs

- textalyzer/src/types.rs

read:

- textalyzer/tests/integration_tests.rs

```

2. **Verify prerequisites:**

- Ensure you have a valid OpenAI API key configured

- Confirm Rust toolchain is installed (`cargo` is available)

- Verify the project structure matches the file paths listed

3. **Launch Aider** from your project root:

```bash

aider

```

4. **Automatic behavior:**

- After each code change, Aider will automatically run `cargo test`

- Tests must pass before changes are accepted

- Commits are manual (auto-commits disabled)

5. **Optional customizations:**

- Uncomment the Gemini model lines to switch to Gemini 2.5 Pro

- Uncomment `auto-lint` settings to enable automatic formatting with `cargo fmt`

- Enable `auto-commits: true` if you want Aider to commit automatically

- Enable `attribute-committer: true` to add co-author attribution

Usage Examples

**Starting a session:**

```bash

aider

Aider will load with all specified files in context

```

**Making changes:**

```

> Add validation for empty text input in the main analysis function

Aider will modify code and automatically run cargo test

```

**Switching models:**

Edit `.aider.conf.yml` to comment out OpenAI and uncomment Gemini:

```yaml

model: openai/o3

architect: true

model: gemini/gemini-2.5-pro

```
