Aider
BetaTerminal-based, git-native coding agent. Engineering-discipline-favoured.
Terminal-based AI coding agent with git as a first-class citizen. Every change is staged with a descriptive commit message. Smaller user base than Cursor or Copilot but engineering-discipline-favoured. Intramedial attaches via LLM proxy primarily.

Status
Aider is Beta.
The integration path is built and tested. Customers can attach now; expect minor breaking changes until the 1.0 contract freeze.
How to attach
LLM proxy.
Issue a workspace API key
Generate a key in the dashboard under Settings → API Keys, scoped to the workspace and environment this agent's data should land in.
Change one base URL
Point Aider's LLM base URL at the Intramedial proxy. Intramedial records the request and forwards it to the real provider — OpenAI-, Anthropic- and Gemini-compatible schemas are all supported.
Verify
Trigger one agent run. The Witness page shows the record once the agent has emitted it.

Start recording Aider agents.
Every Aider run lands in the same canonical Witness record as every other framework in the catalogue: signed, replayable, and exportable as evidence.
Agents act when the plane says yes, and the record says why.
Put admission in front of your MCP servers, repositories, SaaS tools and cloud accounts. Every agent gets a lease or a reason – and you keep the lever to stop any of them.
