SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

AI-assisted pair programming addresses collaboration challenges in software development by pairing a human with an AI partner to amplify code quality, learning, and productivity.

Core Features & Use Cases

Multiple collaboration modes (driver, navigator, switch) to manage roles and focus.
Real-time verification, automated testing, and comprehensive code reviews to maintain quality.
Session management and learning workflows for debugging, refactoring, TDD, and mentoring.

Quick Start

Start with a simple session: claude-flow pair --start Launch a TDD session: claude-flow pair --start --mode tdd --test-first Initiate a mentor learning session: claude-flow pair --start --mode mentor --pace slow
