Feature: aider coding assistant agent (2nd try)

[usmanovbf]

What feature would you like to be added?

It would be great to see a coding agent that could leverage the Aider coding assistant tool to implement changes.
Discussed previously, but may be someone has an interest now for that?

Why is this needed?

The aider tool's features such as git integration could be an interesting and powerful addition to this framework.

@usmanovbf can you take a look at the autogen-agentchat 0.4 API and see if it is possible to connect a BaseChatAgent subclass to an Aider agent?

[usmanovbf]

@ekzhu sure, but can you please elaborate more, how do I need to check that?

--message-file MESSAGE_FILE
--message

you can function call it with an instruction....seems like this is just a wrapper to handle the command options for CLI. Aider already has the CLI options

[usmanovbf]

still actual...

@usmanovbf please take a look at the AgentChat tutorial for how to implement a custom agent: https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/dev/user-guide/agentchat-user-guide/tutorial/custom-agents.html.

And you can create a community package for your agent following the guideline here: https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/dev/user-guide/extensions-user-guide/index.html
