timwuhaotian / the-pair
Open-source AI pair programming for desktop: a Mentor + Executor agent cross-check each other's code to catch AI hallucinations. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini & opencode. macOS / Windows / Linux.
Why this job: topics: vibe-coding, ai-code-review, claude-code, codex, opencode, codex-cli
What it does
- Dual-Agent Architecture. Separation of planning (Mentor) and execution (Executor)
- Unified Pair Console. Conversation, timeline, terminal events, and activity in one scrollable feed
- Cognitive Event Stream. Intent chips, reasoning steps, and tool call status surfaced per turn
- Smart Coordination. Structured handoff prompts, quality gates, and smart-pause logic for healthier iterations
- Iteration Budgeting. Optional per-pair iteration cap with human-in-the-loop pause when the budget is reached (runs are unbounded by default)
