# Aider · Swift + Vapor Generated February 10, 2026 Agent: Aider Language: Swift Framework: Vapor ## Global rules - Start by reading existing project instructions and architecture docs before changing behavior. - Prefer minimal diffs and preserve existing code style and naming conventions. - State assumptions and call out risks before making breaking or cross-module changes. - When behavior changes, add or update tests in the closest existing test layer. - Never commit secrets, tokens, credentials, or generated private keys. Start by reading existing project instructions and architecture docs before changing behavior. Prefer minimal diffs and preserve existing code style and naming conventions. State assumptions and call out risks before making breaking or cross-module changes. When behavior changes, add or update tests in the closest existing test layer. Never commit secrets, tokens, credentials, or generated private keys. ## Agent-specific - Keep patches surgical; avoid touching unrelated files. - Show the exact commands used to validate important changes. - When uncertain, ask one focused clarification question before broad edits. ## Language-specific - Prefer value types and protocol-oriented design where practical. - Keep async/await flows explicit and avoid hidden side effects. - Document thread-safety assumptions for shared mutable state. ## Framework-specific - Keep route handlers thin and move business logic to services. - Validate payloads explicitly and return consistent errors. ## Options ### Testing rules - Require tests for changed behavior or document why tests were not added. - Run the smallest relevant test subset first, then broaden if needed. ### Architecture rules - Preserve module boundaries and avoid leaking internal abstractions. - Prefer incremental refactors over large rewrites. ### Security rules - Validate and sanitize all user-controlled input. - Apply least-privilege defaults for data access and actions. ### Prefer minimal diffs - Limit changes to the smallest set of files and lines needed. - Defer unrelated cleanup to separate follow-up changes.
