Welcome
pair documentation. Install in five minutes, learn the process lifecycle, follow a tutorial.
Welcome to pair
pair gives your AI coding assistant a Knowledge Base, skills and your project's decisions, so it develops software your way, from PRD to code review, in every session.
Figure: pair's whole flow on one picture. Phases along the ground; the refinement and delivery workflows on top; Assisted, Supervised and Autonomous are three ways to run the same thing.
Pick your journey
- Getting Started: what pair is and how to install it, five to ten minutes.
- Process Lifecycle: the flow for developing with pair: phases, workflows, modes, skills, with links to the configuration and the commands.
- Tutorials: guided end-to-end walkthroughs, first project, existing project, team, enterprise, automation (20 to 60 minutes).
- What's new: everything new in v0.5.1, most important first.
