Abstraction: Terminal-based AI coding assistant with codebase map and git integration

Key points:

Aider pairs with LLMs (Claude 3.7 Sonnet, DeepSeek R1, GPT-4o, o1, o3-mini) to edit existing codebases or start new projects from the terminal
Builds a map of the entire codebase to enable effective work in large projects across dozens of languages
Automatically commits AI-generated changes with sensible commit messages; integrates with standard git tooling for diff, undo, and management
Supports voice input for requesting features, tests, or bug fixes
Runs automatic lint and test cycles after each change, and can self-repair issues detected by linters or test suites
Also works with LLM web chat interfaces as a fallback when API access is unavailable
