Agent Skills integration for aider - inject skills into your AI pair programming sessions

aider-skills

Agent Skills integration for aider — inject structured skills into your AI pair programming sessions with zero aider changes.

---

Install

pip install aider-skills

Quickstart

# Inside an aider session:
/run aider-skills to-prompt ./my-skills

# Or at startup:
aider --read $(aider-skills tmpfile ./my-skills)

The model receives structured metadata about available skills and reads individual SKILL.md files on demand — exactly as the agentskills.io spec describes for filesystem-based agents.

Why

Aider has no plugin or hook system. aider-skills uses aider's own /run command and --read flag as integration points, requiring no fork and no changes to aider's internals.

Documentation

See docs/aider-integration.md for full usage, all three integration patterns, and skill authoring guidance.
