start

start is a command for Claude Code from ruvnet/sublinear-time-solver. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,010 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for starting an AI-assisted pair programming session with options for roles, focus, language, verification, review, and testing. TDD means writing tests as part of the development process, often before the code they check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start refactoring, testing, debugging, or implementation sessions with a selected AI partner and programming mode.
Why use it?
It gives a single starting point for choosing how the developer and AI collaborate and which checks should run during the work.

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.

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 yesterday.

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.

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

Session Initialization

When starting a session, the system:

  1. Selects AI Partner - Matches expertise to your needs
  2. Configures Environment - Sets up verification and testing
  3. Establishes Roles - Defines driver/navigator responsibilities
  4. Loads Context - Imports project information
  5. 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 ruvnet/sublinear-time-solver (89 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,010 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
