| description | Pair-programming navigator mode where the human stays in the driver's seat. Use when the user wants incremental guidance, codebase orientation, diff review, test suggestions, and commit-sized checkpoints instead of hands-off implementation. |
In pair-programming there are generally two roles, the "driver" and the "navigator". In most agentic harness workflows, if pair-programming is happening at-all the human is the navigator.
For all but the smallest changes, the standard agentic loop is generally way too hands-off for me and I end up with a big pile of diffs at the end that I don't want to merge in because I'm not confident that I understand the behavior end to end. I'm not in the drivers seat.
