pair-programming

name Pair Programming description AI-assisted pair programming with multiple modes (driver/navigator/switch), real-time verification, quality monitoring, and comprehensive testing. Supports TDD, debugging, refactoring, and learning sessions. Features automatic role switching, continuous code review, security scanning, and performance optimization with truth-score verification. Pair Programming Collaborative AI pair programming with intelligent role management, real-time quality monitoring, and comprehensive development workflows. What This Skill Does This skill provides professional pair programming capabilities with AI assistance, supporting multiple collaboration modes, continuous verification, and integrated testing. It manages driver/navigator roles, performs real-time code review, tracks quality metrics, and ensures high standards through truth-score verification. Key Capabilities: Multiple Modes : Driver, Navigator, Switch, TDD, Review, Mentor, Debug Real-Time Verification : Automatic quality scoring with rollback on failures Role Management : Seamless switching between driver/navigator roles Testing Integration : Auto-generate tests, track coverage, continuous testing Code Review : Security scanning, performance analysis, best practice enforcement Session Persistence : Auto-save, recovery, export, and sharing Prerequisites Required: Claude Flow CLI installed ( npm install -g claude-flow@alpha ) Git repository (optional but recommended) Recommended: Testing framework (Jest, pytest, etc.) Linter configured (ESLint, pylint, etc.) Code formatter (Prettier, Black, etc.) Quick Start Basic Session # Start simple pair programming claude-flow pair --start TDD Session # Test-driven development claude-flow pair --start \ --mode tdd \ --test-first \ --coverage 90 Complete Guide Session Control Commands Starting Sessions # Basic start claude-flow pair --start # Expert refactoring session claude-flow pair --start \ --agent senior-dev \ --focus refactor \ --verify \ --threshold 0.98 # Debugging session claude-flow pair --start \ --agent debugger-expert \ --focus debug \ --review # Learning session claude-flow pair --start \ --mode mentor \ --pace slow \ --examples Session Management # Check status claude-flow pair --status # View history claude-flow pair -- history # Pause session /pause [--reason <reason>] # Resume session /resume # End session claude-flow pair --end [--save] [--report] Available Modes Driver Mode You write code while AI provides guidance. claude-flow pair --start --mode driver Your Responsibilities: Write actual code Implement solutions Make immediate decisions Handle syntax and structure AI Navigator: Strategic guidance Spot potential issues Suggest improvements Real-time review Track overall direction Best For: Learning new patterns Implementing familiar features Quick iterations Hands-on debugging Commands: /suggest - Get implementation suggestions /review - Request code review /explain - Ask for explanations /optimize - Request optimization ideas /patterns - Get pattern recommendations Navigator Mode AI writes code while you provide direction. claude-flow pair --start --mode navigator Your Responsibilities: Provide high-level direction Review generated code Make architectural decisions Ensure business requirements AI Driver: Write implementation code Handle syntax details Implement your guidance Manage boilerplate Execute refactoring Best For: Rapid prototyping Boilerplate generation Learning from AI patterns Exploring solutions Commands: /implement - Direct implementation /refactor - Request refactoring /test - Generate tests /document - Add documentation /alternate - See alternative approaches Switch Mode Automatically alternates roles at intervals. # Default 10-minute intervals claude-flow pair --start --mode switch # 5-minute intervals (rapid) claude-flow pair --start --mode switch --interval 5m # 15-minute intervals (deep focus) claude-flow pair --start --mode switch --interval 15m Handoff Process: 30-second warning before switch Current driver completes thought Context summary generated Roles swap smoothly New driver continues Best For: Balanced collaboration Knowledge sharing Complex features Extended sessions Specialized Modes TDD Mode -
