Adjust the files added to the chat as you go: `/drop` files that don't need any more changes, `/add` files that need changes for the next step.
## Creating new files
If you want aider to create a new file, add it to the repository first with `/add <file>`, so aider knows this file exists and will write to it. Without this, aider might write the changes to an existing files, even when explicitly asked not to do this.
