What is pair-programming?

An AI-assisted pair-programming workflow, where two collaborators share the work of writing and checking code. It includes driver and navigator roles, meaning one writes while the other reviews and guides.

Use it to write, refactor, debug, test, or learn code through a guided back-and-forth process.

It provides a way to divide attention between implementation, review, testing, debugging, and learning during development.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add DNYoussef/context-cascade --skill pair-programming

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/DNYoussef/context-cascade

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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 5.1	$0.00000	$0.01879
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00940
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00376
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00188

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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (resources/code-review-live.sh, resources/driver-navigator.py, resources/pair-session.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What ships with it

14 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

pair-programming is a skill published in the GitHub repository DNYoussef/context-cascade (32 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,879 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.
