Candidate

Upstream canonical URL: https://github.com/MatthewZMD/aidermacs
Source pinned commit/release when known: 2fc993932d2df9270c3f85f8215f73600b78145c (default-branch snapshot checked 2026-08-14)
Target concrete installed deliverable: aidermacs Emacs AI-pair-programming extension
Primary category: editor-extension
Tags: agentic-coding, ai-ml, emacs
Primary language normalized: Elisp
Build system: emacs-build-system
SPDX expression: Apache-2.0
License status: declared-free
License evidence: GitHub repository metadata declares Apache-2.0; the upstream license text still needs package-review confirmation.
Difficulty: hard — The extension depends on external Aider/model tooling and must retain a clear no-network test boundary.
Workflow state: research
Existing Guix coverage: Checked 2026-08-14: GNU Guix, Nonguix, Guix Science, Guix HPC, Guix Past, Guix 'R Us, and RDE; no equivalent package with the same upstream origin was found.

Scope and blockers

Install the Emacs extension only; keep model providers and credentials out of the package.

Acceptance checks

guix lint -L. <package-name> and guix build -L. <package-name> pass once a package definition exists.
Byte-compile/load in batch Emacs and run local command discovery with external tools unavailable.

Goocastle recorded disposition: implementation-ready.

Created implementation ticket: #625.

Canonical source is https://github.com/MatthewZMD/aidermacs at fixed commit 2fc993932d2df9270c3f85f8215f73600b78145c; the six Elisp libraries at that revision identify version 1.11, so encode the package as 1.11-0.2fc9939 (or the equivalent Guix git-version result) while retaining the full commit. Use the codeload source https://codeload.github.com/MatthewZMD/aidermacs/tar.gz/2fc993932d2df9270c3f85f8215f73600b78145c with the existing channel hash 1x2v8i2kzbnlvx7b55fc9b47bg46xf669kghfhyiw6jdc5vpxvl4 from tay/packages/starred-i-m.scm:127-131. The exact-revision license evidence is github.com/MatthewZMD/aidermacs@2fc993932d/LICENSE, which contains the complete Apache License 2.0 text; every tracked .el file also declares SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0. This is the only fetched origin: the pinned tree has no .gitmodules file or gitlink entries, and no separate submodule license review is required. The source is pure Elisp, with six aidermacs*.el libraries and no Makefile, Eask file, package.json, or upstream tests, so it is source-buildable with emacs-build-system; restrict installation to the six Elisp files and add LICENSE under share/doc/emacs-aidermacs. No equivalent installable package exists in the stock Guix or local-channel enumerations: the local channel only has matthewzmd-aidermacs-source 0-2fc9939, a copy-build-system preservation snapshot that does not install the extension; the recorded 2026-08-14 checks of the other Guix channels also found no same-origin package. Add tay/packages/aidermacs.scm, module (tay packages aidermacs), public package emacs-aidermacs, importing guix build-system emacs, guix gexp, guix packages, guix licenses, and tay packages starred-i-m, and reuse (package-source matthewzmd-aidermacs-source). Propagate emacs-transient >= 0.3.0, emacs-compat >= 30.0.2.0, and emacs-markdown-mode >= 2.7; the channel provides emacs-transient 0.13.2, emacs-compat 31.0.0.1, and emacs-markdown-mode 2.8. emacs-vterm is optional because the vterm backend uses (require 'vterm nil 'noerror); either document it as a separately installable optional input or propagate emacs-vterm if the package is intended to provide that optional backend by default. Do not add Aider, aider-ce, Python, uv, model-provider SDKs, credentials, or network services as package inputs. No wrapper is required: at runtime aidermacs-program defaults to (aider-ce aider), resolves the first executable with executable-find per workspace, and also accepts an absolute configured path; users must supply Aider externally on PATH or configure that variable. Model discovery/pricing and web-content actions are user-invoked network behavior and must not run during build or tests. Use an isolated test command in the emacs-build-system test phase that byte-compiles all six libraries with Emacs -Q --batch, adds the package and propagated dependency load paths, advises url-retrieve-synchronously to raise a network-prohibited error, requires aidermacs, asserts featurep aidermacs and commandp aidermacs-transient-menu, checks a local pure-Elisp transformation such as aidermacs--process-message-if-multi-line, sets default-directory to a non-Git temporary directory, sets exec-path to nil and PATH empty, clears the program cache, and asserts aidermacs-get-program fails with Aider executable not found rather than launching or networking. Final acceptance is guix lint -L. emacs-aidermacs, guix build -L. emacs-aidermacs, and that batch smoke proof; these package checks were not claimed or run because no implementation package exists and the host Guix daemon socket is unavailable.
