Does this skill support Test-Driven Development?

Yes, the TDD mode enforces a strict red-green-refactor workflow, assisting with test generation, coverage tracking, and implementation verification.

What is truth-score verification?

It is a quality monitoring system that scores code against defined thresholds and can automatically rollback changes if security or quality standards are not met.

What is Switch mode in the Pair Programming skill?

Switch mode automatically alternates the Driver and Navigator roles between the user and the AI at timed intervals to ensure balanced collaboration and knowledge sharing.

How does the AI handle Navigator mode?

In Navigator mode, the AI writes the implementation code and handles syntax details while you provide high-level architectural direction and review the generated output.

Can I use this skill to learn new programming patterns?

Absolutely. Mentor mode is specifically designed for learning, offering detailed explanations, pattern teaching, and step-by-step guidance through complex codebases.
