Specify Your Coding Standards

Make Aider follow your team's coding conventions:

1. Create a Conventions File (e.g., CONVENTIONS.md):

   # Coding Conventions
   - Use type hints for all function parameters and returns
   - Prefer async/await for I/O operations
   - Follow PEP 8 for Python code
   - Use Prettier defaults for JavaScript
   

2. Load at Launch:

   aider --read CONVENTIONS.md your_file.py
   

3. During Session:

   /read-only CONVENTIONS.md
   

4. Automatic Loading: In .aider.conf.yml:

   read: CONVENTIONS.md
   

This ensures all code Aider generates follows your specific standards and practices.
