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.

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 | $0.00061 | $0.06280 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.02512 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.01256 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00628 |
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to Pair Programming — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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.)

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 shyftlabs/continuum (84 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 6,280 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to Pair Programming, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
workflow-patterns
Use this skill when implementing tasks according to Conductor's TDD workflow, handling phase checkpoints, managing git commits for tasks, or understanding the verification protocol.
tdd
Use only when the user explicitly asks for TDD, a failing test, or a regression test, OR when the bug has an obvious cheap local test target. Skip when the test path is unclear, expensive, integration-heavy, or not requested.
principle-test-behavior-not-implementation
Apply when you write, change, or keep a test. Assert what the code's users can observe, so that the test fails when that behavior breaks and keeps passing when only the internals change.
orchestrated-execution
Execute work units through the rigorous 4-phase Metaswarm cycle (Implement -> Validate -> Adversarial Review -> Commit) with independent quality gate enforcement.
Pair Programming
AI-assisted pair programming with multiple modes (driver$navigator$switch), real-time verification, quality monitoring, and comprehensive testing.

repo-hardening
Audit a repository the way a rigorous engineer would and produce an evidence-backed, prioritized improvement plan covering instruction files, lint and source gates, type strictness, test quality, CI and merge flow, review and verification habits, and the mistake classes agents keep repeating in git history.
