aider-delegate SKILL.md skillB

aider-delegate from amelnagdy/delegate-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add amelnagdy/delegate-skills/aider-delegate@v0.5.0

Pins v0.5.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Delegate a coding task to Aider (`aider`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to hand implementation work to Aider - phrasings like "have Aider do X", "delegate this to aider", "run it through Aider", or "use Aider to implement/fix/refactor" - or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Aider while staying the reviewer. This includes asking Aider to drive a local or self-hosted OpenAI-compatible endpoint…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 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.

The relay always passes `--no-auto-commits` and `--no-dirty-commits`, and neither is configurable
through it. If you ever drive `aider` by hand instead of through the relay, pass both yourself, or the
work lands as commits you never reviewed. The relay also passes `--no-gitignore`, because Aider
otherwise writes `.aider*` into `.gitignore` on startup and dirties the tree you are about to read.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add amelnagdy/delegate-skills/aider-delegate@sha256:391a58a14a4eb200

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
