Aider

Aider is an AI pair programming tool that works in your terminal.

Installation

mur init --hooks

This creates templates at ~/.aider/:

• conventions.md - Pattern injection file
• aider.conf.yml - Configuration template

Project Setup

For each project:

1. Copy the templates:

cp -r ~/.aider .aider

2. Inject patterns:

mur inject --tool aider > .aider/conventions.md

3. Start aider with config:

aider --config .aider/aider.conf.yml

Configuration

The generated aider.conf.yml:

read:
  - .aider/conventions.md

auto-commits: true

Updating Patterns

Refresh patterns anytime:

mur inject --tool aider > .aider/conventions.md

Or automate in your shell:

alias aider-mur='mur inject --tool aider > .aider/conventions.md && aider --config .aider/aider.conf.yml'

conventions.md Format

# MUR Patterns

## Swift Testing
Use Swift Testing macros instead of XCTest...

## Error Handling
Always wrap errors with context...

Aider reads this as context for all conversations.

Tips

• Re-inject patterns when switching projects
• Add .aider/ to .gitignore for personal patterns
• Commit .aider/ for team-shared patterns
