A command for starting an AI-assisted pair-programming session. Pair programming is when two partners work on code together; here, the AI can take roles such as driver or navigator and optionally verify, review, or test changes.

Use it for refactoring, implementation, debugging, continuous code review, or running tests after changes. It also offers a TDD mode, where tests are written and used to guide development.

It provides a structured coding session for focused work such as implementation, refactoring, debugging, or testing instead of starting with an unspecified assistant interaction.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00000	$0.01011
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00505
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00202
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00101

Security

Grade A, and why

start scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to start — 21 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 230 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pair --start

Start a new pair programming session with AI assistance.

Usage

claude-flow pair --start [options]

Options

--agent <name> - AI pair partner (default: auto-select)
--mode <type> - Programming mode: driver, navigator, switch
--verify - Enable real-time verification
--threshold <0-1> - Verification threshold (default: 0.95)
--focus <area> - Focus area: refactor, test, debug, implement
--language <lang> - Primary programming language
--review - Enable continuous code review
--test - Run tests after each change
--interval <time> - Switch interval for switch mode (default: 10m)

Examples

Basic Start

claude-flow pair --start

Expert Refactoring Session

claude-flow pair --start \
  --agent senior-dev \
  --focus refactor \
  --verify \
  --threshold 0.98

TDD Session

claude-flow pair --start \
  --mode driver \
  --focus test \
  --test \
  --language javascript

Debugging Session

claude-flow pair --start \

Session Initialization

When starting a session, the system:

Selects AI Partner - Matches expertise to your needs
Configures Environment - Sets up verification and testing
Establishes Roles - Defines driver/navigator responsibilities
Loads Context - Imports project information
Begins Monitoring - Tracks quality metrics

Modes Explained

Driver Mode

You write code while AI:

Provides real-time suggestions
Reviews changes instantly
Catches potential issues
Suggests improvements

Navigator Mode

AI writes code while you:

Provide high-level guidance
Review generated code
Request modifications
Control direction

Switch Mode

Automatically alternates roles:

Default: 10-minute intervals
Configurable timing
Smooth handoffs
Shared context

Focus Areas

Refactor

Code structure improvements
Pattern implementation
Performance optimization
Readability enhancement

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

start is a command published in the GitHub repository nmime/motiv-buy (0 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,011 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to start, differing in 21 lines, and is treated as a copy.
