Issue

Add the option to add custom commands to aider (via a yaml file like aider_commands.yml ). For example:

commands:
  - name: checktypes
    min_num_of_args: 1
    files_to_add_to_chat: "%1"
    aider_command: "/run mypy %1 --show-traceback --python-version=3.11"
    add_output_to_chat: true
    term_command: ""

  - name: selfcheck
    min_num_of_args: 0
    files_to_add_to_chat: ""
    aider_command: "Examine your last commit for errors and potential issues."
    add_output_to_chat: true
    term_command: ""

  - name: rufflint
    min_num_of_args: 1
    files_to_add_to_chat: "%1"
    aider_command: "/run ruff check %1 --ignore E203,E501,E266,W503,W504,W505,F841,F842 --isolated --fix --target-version py311 --output-format full"
    add_output_to_chat: true
    term_command: ""

  - name: textualdev
    min_num_of_args: 1
    files_to_add_to_chat: "%1"
    aider_command: "/run textual console --port 7342 -x SYSTEM -x EVENT -x DEBUG -x INFO"
    add_output_to_chat: true
    term_command: "textual run --dev --port 7342 %1"

  - name: rclone
    min_num_of_args: 0
    files_to_add_to_chat: ""
    aider_command: ""
    add_output_to_chat: false
    term_command: "rclone -vv -P sync . Jottacloud:DEVBOX_aider --exclude-from .gitignore"

Commands predefined variables: %n = argument number n (put between double quotes) %a = all arguments separated by space (and each one between double quotes) %c = all arguments separated by comma (and each one between double quotes) %f = last file with changes committed by aider (put between double quotes) %s = all files added to the chat separated by space (and each one between double quotes) %k = all files added to the chat separated by comma (and each one between double quotes) %p = project root path (put between double quotes)

Yes even Continue.dev allows custom command. This would help setup common workflows easily in aider.
