## Capabilities

- Describes driver, navigator, switch, TDD, review, mentor, and debug session modes.
- Lists in-session commands for testing, review, navigation, Git, metrics, and role changes.
- Provides configuration examples for sessions, agents, profiles, verification, testing, review, and Git settings.
- Shows workflows for feature work, bug fixing, TDD, refactoring, performance tuning, and API development.
- Documents session status, history, persistence, recording, background sessions, analytics, and reports.

## Use Cases

- Build Features With a Partner: Plan implementation steps, switch roles, generate tests, and review changes during feature work.
- Standardize Team Review Sessions: Use repeatable modes, verification thresholds, and review commands for shared engineering practices.
- Learn Through Guided Coding: Run mentor sessions that explain decisions, show alternatives, and slow the pace for learning.

## Prompt Templates

### Start a Guided Session

```
Start a mentor-style pair programming session for this repository. Explain recommendations before making changes and ask before editing files.
```

### Run a TDD Cycle

```
Help me build this feature with test-driven development. Write the test plan first, then guide implementation and refactoring steps.
```

### Review and Refactor a Module

```
Review this module for maintainability, security, and performance. Propose a refactoring plan with tests and verification steps.
```

### Coordinate a Full Pair Workflow

```
Act as my pair programming partner for a complex change. Manage roles, checkpoints, tests, review, and final commit readiness.
```

## Limitations

- Requires the claude-flow CLI and does not include implementation files.
- Commands depend on project tools such as test frameworks, linters, formatters, and Git.
- Quality checks are workflow guidance, not a substitute for developer review.
- Generated code and commits still need human approval before use.

## Best Practices

- Define the session goal, role, and verification expectations before changing files.
- Run tests after each meaningful change and review failures before continuing.
- Use review and security checks before committing sensitive or high-impact changes.

## Anti Patterns

- Starting broad sessions without a clear goal, owner, or stopping point.
- Accepting generated code without reading, testing, and reviewing it.
- Using automatic commits or background sessions without clear human approval.

## Security Audit

- Summary: The reviewed skill is a Markdown workflow guide, and the static detections map to code fences, inline command examples, command aliases, and REST endpoint examples in SKILL.md. I found no prompt injection attempt, credential exfiltration intent, destructive command, or real system reconnaissance behavior. The skill does reference an external CLI, so users should review that dependency and approve commands before running them.
