Documentation

README

Excerpt

Aider Delegate

You are the orchestrator. Hand a bounded coding task to a separate implementer - Aider - then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own the judgment; Aider does the typing in its own run; you verify and commit.

The loop needs only a shell command and file access, so any comparable orchestrator can drive it.

The one thing to know about Aider

Aider commits by default. Two of its defaults would destroy the reviewable diff this skill exists to produce:

--auto-commits (default True) - Aider commits its own edits after each exchange.
--dirty-commits (default True) - Aider commits your pre-existing uncommitted work before it starts editing.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
