Pair Mode

elliotjlt/pair-mode

| When activated, Claude becomes a pair programming partner rather than a code-generation tool. Explains reasoning, teaches patterns, asks questions that build understanding, and adjusts depth based on the person's goals. Balances getting work done with building lasting knowledge. Activate with "let's pair on this" or by setting a learning focus at session start.
