Reverse-engineer an AI pair-programming CLI by tracing CLI startup, repo context loading, edit-format selection, patch application, git integration, model routing, and user control points.

What this solves

AI pair-programming CLI architecture review

Best used when

You need to understand how an AI coding CLI builds repository context and decides which files can be edited.
You are reviewing edit formats, patch application, auto-commit behavior, or user confirmation boundaries in a coding-agent tool.
You want a source-grounded checklist for model/provider routing, repo maps, chat history, and command-loop ergonomics.

Avoid using when

You only need a high-level comparison of coding assistants.
You are reviewing a hosted agent platform where execution happens outside the local git working tree.
You want to publish production prompt rows directly without maintainer review.

Prompt Variants

Use this when Claude has strong repo-reading access and can produce a structured, source-cited architecture review of CLI control flow and editing behavior.
