[Aider](https://aider.chat) is a pair-programming CLI built around explicit file edits. It doesn't have a session-resume concept, but it does work well for small, focused issues.
|
|
|
|
<PlatformSupport macos="full" linux="full" windows="full" />
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install aider-install && aider-install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set your API key via Aider's normal config (`~/.aider.conf.yml` or env vars). AO doesn't manage credentials for you.
|
|
|
|
## Use
|
|
|
|
```yaml title="agent-orchestrator.yaml"
|
|
agent: aider
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
- **Launch:** `aider` runs in the worktree. AO pipes the issue prompt in via the normal Aider UX.
|
|
- **Activity tracking:** Aider doesn't emit a structured event log. AO writes `{workspace}/.ao/activity.jsonl` based on terminal output classification — the pattern matcher knows Aider's common prompts (diff review, confirm apply, etc.).
|
|
- **PR + git tracking:** PATH wrappers for `gh` / `git` record PRs and commits.
|
|
- **Session resume:** Not supported.
|
|
|
|
## Environment variables
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Set by AO | Purpose |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `AO_SESSION_ID` | ✓ | AO session id |
|
|
| `AO_ISSUE_ID` | ✓ | Issue identifier |
|
|
| `PATH` | ✓ | Prepends `~/.ao/bin` |
|
|
| `GH_PATH` | ✓ | Absolute path to real `gh` |
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
<Accordions>
|
|
<Accordion title="Aider hangs on file-edit confirmation">
|
|
Aider prompts before applying diffs. If you want fully autonomous runs, configure Aider's `--yes-always` via `~/.aider.conf.yml`. AO won't inject this for you — it's your call whether the agent should auto-apply.
|
|
</Accordion>
|
|
<Accordion title="Dashboard cost shows $0">
|
|
AO doesn't parse Aider's cost output. The cost column stays empty.
