Pair Programming

Pair Programming is a skill for Claude Code from ruvnet/RuView. It costs 61 tokens per session (6,280 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An AI-assisted pair-programming skill that supports driver-and-navigator collaboration, where one participant writes code and the other guides the work. It also includes modes for testing, debugging, review, refactoring, and mentoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write and test code together, practise TDD, debug problems, refactor existing code, review changes, or learn through a guided session.
Why use it?
It gives coding sessions a defined collaboration style and adds ongoing verification, testing, review, and security checks while work is in progress.

About the project

RuView is a WiFi sensing platform that uses disturbances in radio signals, captured by low-cost ESP32 sensors, to detect presence, movement, breathing, and heart rate without cameras or wearables. It is intended for spatial monitoring and smart-home integrations. The catalogue add-ons support workflows for operating and integrating RuView.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 872
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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:

  • Claude Flow CLI installed (npm install -g claude-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.
