Aider

A git-native, terminal coding agent. Spec page: /tools/aider.

  • Defines git-native workflows: every edit is a commit, so history is an audit log and rollback is trivial.
  • Its repo-map is the canonical answer to context management at scale, summarizing structure without full inclusion.
  • Fully BYOK and model choice: any model including local ones, keeping cost and privacy in your hands.
  • Architect mode splits planning (strong, expensive model) from editing (cheaper model) to trade latency for cost.
  • Terminal-only with no IDE UI, which raises the floor for non-CLI users.
