AI Pair Programming

About

This skill transforms Claude into a sophisticated development partner, offering multiple interaction modes including Driver, Navigator, and Switch. It streamlines the development process by handling boilerplate and syntax when acting as the driver, or providing high-level architectural oversight as the navigator. With integrated TDD workflows, automatic role rotation, and continuous code quality verification, it is ideal for developers looking to maintain high standards while accelerating feature delivery or learning new architectural patterns.

Key Features

• Automated role switching with 30-second warnings and context handoffs
• Integrated Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow with coverage tracking
• Multi-mode collaboration (Driver, Navigator, Switch, Mentor, Debug)
• Real-time security scanning, performance analysis, and quality scoring
• Comprehensive session management with auto-save, recovery, and metrics
• 81 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Rapidly prototyping features by acting as the Navigator while the AI handles implementation
• Onboarding or mentoring developers using the dedicated Mentor mode for guided learning
• Enforcing high code quality in critical modules using strict TDD and Review modes
