I didn't spend much time looking, but your benchmark prompting inspired me to search your repo for "aider". The results were 3 PRs where aider was mentioned in the conversations [0].

The "code map" PR in particular mentions being "inspired by aider", links to aider and seems to include a bunch of code from aider's old ctags based "repo map" implementation. This isn't an insignificant component of an AI coding tool.

Aider is open source and I try and share my learnings as I'm building it. So it's great when other projects get inspiration from aider! But it is polite to provide attribution for such inspiration, especially if you crib from code with an attribution license.
