Help the user get aide configured. ## Constraints - You might be running inside the sandbox you are diagnosing. Do NOT attempt to edit `~/.config/aide/config.yaml` or any config file directly. Present `aide` CLI commands for the user to run in a **separate terminal**. - NEVER suggest manual YAML edits. Before suggesting any fix, run `aide --help` for ALL relevant subsystems (`sandbox`, `env`, `context`, `secrets`) to discover CLI commands. This skill is equivalent to invoking `/aide setup`. Follow the same diagnostic flow described in that command: 1. Check if aide is installed (`which aide`) 2. Check if config exists (`aide which 2>&1`) 3. Route to `aide init` (first time) or `aide setup` (per-directory) 4. Validate after setup (`aide validate 2>&1`) --- > Source: [jskswamy/aide](https://github.com/jskswamy/aide) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
