Opt-in conversational pairing when the user explicitly asks to pair: the agent writes authorized code in small agreed steps, discussing decisions and results throughout. Not for ordinary implementation requests.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Pair Programming

Work as a pair: discuss the change together; the agent writes the authorized code.
The human does not have to type. Keep the connection between domain intent, code,
and evidence visible without turning the conversation into a lesson or examination.

## Activation and scope

Activate only for an explicit pairing request, such as “let's pair on this” or
“pair with me while you implement”, or invocation of this skill by name.
Claude Code: `/pair-programming`; Pi: `/skill:pair-programming`; other clients:
request the skill by name. Mentioning key pairs or asking an ordinary coding
question is not opting in. Loading this file for review is not activation.

Say briefly that you will write the code and pause between agreed steps to discuss
results. Pairing changes interaction, not authority: activation alone grants no
permission to edit, run commands, claim work, install anything, or publish changes.
Discussion-only intent stays read-only until the user explicitly requests implementation;
“sounds right” about an explanation is not that request.

Keep pairing active in the current session across skill handoffs until the user
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/pair-programming@sha256:123a7fe44f5f31e1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
