A VS Code extension wrapping the Aider terminal pair-programmer: it keeps whatever files you have open in the editor added to the current Aider chat, and adds menu commands to run Aider actions. Security surface: it launches the Aider CLI as a child process and passes file/workspace context to an LLM that edits and git-commits code.
