SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Skill enables teams to have an AI co-pilot observe code work and immediately surface bugs, security gaps, and edge cases, reducing review time and improving quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

Real-time feedback: A second AI watches activity and comments on critical issues as you code.
Session management: Start, stop, and monitor pairing sessions with different backends (Opus or Codex).
Use Case: A developer writing a complex module gets immediate checks for logic flaws and security concerns without interrupting their flow.

Quick Start

Use the /pair command in Claude Code to start a pairing session, then observe feedback from the pair programmer as you work. Then issue /pair stop to end the session.

FAQPage Schema

How do I get real-time AI code review while pair programming in Claude Code?▼

To get real-time AI code review, start a pair programming session using the /pair command in Claude Code. This launches a background agent that observes your tool activity and surfaces immediate feedback on bugs and security gaps as you work.

Can I use Claude Opus or Codex as a backend for real-time code feedback?▼

Yes, you can use either Claude Opus or Codex as the backend for real-time code feedback. The session management system supports both backends to monitor your work and report issues based on observed tool activity.

What is AI-assisted pair programming and how does it catch code issues?▼

AI-assisted pair programming is a workflow where a secondary AI agent watches your coding activity to immediately surface bugs, security gaps, and edge cases. It reduces review time by providing real-time feedback without interrupting your development flow.

Do I need a bridge server and CLI to run an AI pair programming session?▼

Yes, you need a bridge server, the pair-bridge CLI, and backend prompts to initiate and manage AI pair programming sessions. These components are required to launch the agent that observes your work and provides real-time feedback.

How do I stop an active AI pair programming session in Claude Code?▼

To stop an active AI pair programming session in Claude Code, issue the /pair stop command. This ends the monitoring session and halts the real-time feedback agent from reporting on any further tool activity.
