Aider

Integrate Intutic governance with Aider — the AI pair programming CLI tool.

How it works

Intutic writes governance rules into the extra-instructions field of your .aider.conf.yml file. Aider reads this field as additional system instructions for every session.

Setup

1. Ensure .aider.conf.yml exists

touch .aider.conf.yml

2. Initialize Intutic

intutic init

✓ Detected harnesses:
  • aider → .aider.conf.yml

3. Start sync

intutic connect

What gets written

Intutic writes a YAML file with SOPs in the extra-instructions multi-line string:

# Intutic Governance Rules (auto-generated)
# DO NOT EDIT — managed by intutic sync daemon
# Last sync: 2026-06-11T22:24:00Z

# Proxy URL: https://proxy.intutic.dev/v1

  ## Security Policy

  Never commit secrets or API keys...

WARNING

Intutic overwrites the entire .aider.conf.yml file. If you have custom Aider settings (model, edit-format, etc.), consider keeping them in a separate config or managing them as SOPs.
