Aider

Aider telemetry is captured via YAML configuration and OTel.

Automatic Setup

flowstate-telemetry install --tool aider

This configures telemetry in ~/.aider.conf.yml.

Manual Setup

Add the following to ~/.aider.conf.yml:

otel-endpoint: https://otel.flowstate.inc
otel-key: YOUR_TELEMETRY_KEY

What Gets Captured

Event	OTel Name	Data Collected
User prompts	aider.prompt	Prompt text, session ID
API requests	aider.api_request	Model, input/output tokens, cost, duration
File edits	aider.file_edit	Files modified, lines added/removed
Git operations	aider.commit	Commits created, branches

TIP

Aider captures prompt content by default — there is no opt-in flag. It also has strong git integration, allowing the telemetry service to extract commit messages and branch names for accurate project attribution.

Limitations

• Multi-model sessions (architect + editor) report tokens per model
