Pair Programming

Pair Programming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ayushcodes10/echo-mem. It costs 61 tokens per session (6,281 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Pair Programming, Apache-2.0.

An AI-assisted pair-programming workflow in which an agent and a developer take turns writing, reviewing, testing, debugging, or teaching. TDD means writing tests before the code they check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for test-first development, debugging, refactoring, code review, security checks, test generation, and learning sessions.
Why use it?
It gives structured collaboration and ongoing checks instead of leaving testing, review, and debugging as separate manual tasks.

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

Pair Programming 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 1mo ago.

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 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:

  • Codex Flow CLI installed (npm install -g Codex-flow@alpha)
  • Git repository (optional but recommended)

Recommended:

  • Testing framework (Jest, pytest, etc.)
  • Linter configured (ESLint, pylint, etc.)
  • Code formatter (Prettier, Black, etc.)

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.
