pair-agent-harness

pair-agent-harness is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Rijul1204/rashedul-agentic-engineering. It costs 242 tokens per session (3,376 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordination guide for two AI agents, or an agent and a person, working through a shared Markdown discussion. One participant reviews and asks questions while the other proposes, implements, and responds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when pairing another agent on a design, implementation, or code review. The shared thread is the record of the discussion, and only one participant adds to it at a time.
Why use it?
It keeps feedback, decisions, and implementation responses in one persistent place even when the participants work at different times. It also gives each round a clear reviewer or implementer role.

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-agent-harness 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pair-Agent Harness

A coordination harness for two AI agents working in complementary roles on a shared markdown file. The two canonical roles are:

  • Reviewer — critiques, challenges assumptions, asks pointed questions, ratifies decisions.
  • Implementor — proposes designs, implements code changes, responds to critique, runs quality gates.

The roles swap per topic — when Claude opens the thread with findings + questions for Codex, Claude is the Implementor / Codex is the Reviewer. When Codex opens the thread asking for review of a Codex-generated patch, the roles flip. The harness doesn't pin roles; it pins the discipline: one agent appends at a time, each side reads the whole file before responding, the markdown thread is the single source of truth.

This decouples the two agents from each other's runtime: neither has to be online at the same time. The Implementor can land code changes between rounds; the Reviewer can take a day to think; the file persists across both sessions.

When to invoke

Fire on:

  • User says "pair another agent on this", "harness Codex on this", "pair me with Codex on this design".
  • User says "review this with Codex", "open a Codex review", "let's get Codex's take on this".
  • User says "open a peer review", "get a second pair of eyes on this", "ping another Claude on this".
  • User points at an existing *-review-thread.md / *-dialogue-thread.md and says "respond" / "continue" / "monitor".
  • User says "monitor this file" with a path that looks like a pair-agent thread.

Do NOT fire on:

  • One-off code review by a single agent (use a normal code-review subagent instead).
  • Synchronous chat or pair-programming (no file involved).
  • Generic file-watching for build artifacts / logs (use the Monitor tool directly).

Step 1: Seed or locate the thread file

Default location, in order:

  1. If the cwd is inside a git repo, place under <repo>/.dialogue/<topic>-review-thread.md. Create the .dialogue/ directory if missing; add it to .gitignore if the user prefers ephemeral threads, or commit it if the user wants the audit trail.
  2. If a project-management/, docs/design/, or similar design-docs folder already exists in the repo, prefer <that-folder>/<topic>-review-thread.md.
  3. If outside any repo, use ~/.claude/review-threads/<topic>-review-thread.md.

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.
