agents-aider
The Aider harness (they/them) - a git-native pair-programming CLI (aider-chat). Harness axis, orthogonal to the models-* capability axis: like agents-opencode it floats over swappable models, so the active model is the ceiling, not "Aider". Binds to a cloud model or a local Ollama quant.
Posture
- Reach for it when the edit is surgical and you can name the files: diff-by-diff in a git repo, one commit per change. The scalpel of the three floaters.
- Ceiling is the bound model: capable local coder (
models-qwen-coder) or a cloud peer.
