{aider-delegate}

Code authoring

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 ("have Aider use my local model", "run Aider against llama.cpp / Ollama / vLLM / LM Studio"), which Aider reaches via `--api-base`. DO NOT USE for local-model or coding requests that do not name Aider, for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.

Gen Agent Trust HubwarnMEDIUMThe skill acts as a bridge to the Aider coding tool, enabling the delegation of implementation tasks. It includes a script that dynamically executes a sibling skill's script if available, which creates a structural dependency and runtime execution risk. It also establishes an indirect prompt injection surface by processing instructions for an external tool with file-write capabilities, although it emphasizes human review as a primary safety boundary.2026-09-14

How this page is produced

The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.

Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.

Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.

An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
